February 2021 : QE2 at night

[Isabelle Prondzynski]

The theme for this month's photo competition is "QE2 at night", chosen by Thomas Hypher, the winner of the September 2020 competition.

Photos could be taken during QE2's service life, within the ship or from shoreside, in public rooms or in the cabins. There should be plenty of choice!

Enjoy the search .


The prize this month is  the book "Crossing the Bar" by Paul Lobo, donated by the author.

Alternatively, depending on circumstances due to Covid-19 restrictions, June Ingram may be able to offer a jigsaw of the prizewinning photograph.

Thanks for setting up the photo competition album, Isabelle.  I hope this theme will generate lots of photos.  I will have a look but I think I only have photos inside the ship but not from outside at night.

Is it just me being a retired sailor or did anyone else think of sailors departing this life, when they saw the book title?

I am pretty sure that is why he chose the title, a pun which an English-speaking sailor would understand .

QE2 at night, a good choice for this month's photo competition theme.  I need to look through my photos to see if I have any suitable pictures to enter.

Some amazing photos added to the competition. I don't think my photos can compete, but I will add a couple just to support the competition.

Likewise Lynda,

16 photos entered for this competition, and one more day (or possibly two) to find your pictures of QE2 at night. There must be lots more only waiting for you to enter them!

Looking forward to seeing your pictures of our ship looking just as beautiful at night (or even more so) as during the day. Go for it!

Had trouble finding anything suitable, but added a couple that fit the description!
