That's pretty incredible isn't it? The size of these ships now are enormous! Skimonkey ~~ sent from my iPad using iPF

It certainly is....I was really surprised when I saw this.....but I guess it stands to reason.

One of our new politicians who was recently voted in is building a full size replica of the Titanic......he'll even have the third class accommodation which was hessian bunks 60 cm wide......no sheets or pillow and all were deloused on boarding. He wants it to be authentic but I can't see anyone paying for that privilege now. He's thinking of spraying confetti on people rather than delousing them! It could be very interesting!

That is quite interesting Leelai--I might have to check it out to follow the progress on that--especially the process for how he replicates third class accommodations!

Enjoy Squirrel lovers!!

Have you ever seen a Peacock in full flight? It's just beautiful!

Wonderful pictures, leelai! I've seen peacocks walking around but I've never seen them fly.

Isn't it amazing! They look so heavy with all their plumage it's a wonder they can get up there at all!

I saw one fly at our place a couple of years ago when we found one in our garden.....but he didn't fly far and I certainly didn't get to see it clearly like these photos!

They are very cool!!
