I decided that one thing I can do to see things freshly is go out at different times of day. This photo was taken just after sunset, by which time I am normally at home and settled into a film or a book before bed. The subject is not new - this is the cruise ship Celebrity Infinity, which I have photographed during some of its earlier visits. To me these cruise ships always look beautiful but at dusk they look even better.

Nice capture. I like all the glowing lights on the ship. You're about going out at different times of the day. Good for you for getting back out there at dusk.

Hello Benjamin - I've so enjoyed your photos over the past two years. You have added to my life here in central Alberta by taking me home often. You could take us to the beaches one by one...or the neighbourhoods or just down one street. The Moss Street Paint in pictures were so interesting. The cruise ship at night is wonderful and have always loved to drive by homes with lighted windows at night...especially in Victoria.Thank you for your dedicated photo journey!
Thanks SRQ - I just wish it wasn't such a struggle to get myself out at odd times of the day.
Sheila, thanks very much for your kind words - such encouragement helps a lot when inspiration is flagging.
Simply beautiful. The ship does look magical with all the lights on!
Just remembered another fantastic 'high vantage point' location if you haven't been there already: Gonzales Hill.
It's where an old weather station dome is and the panoramic view from there is terrific, looking down on the Strait,Trial Island, Gonzales and Ross Bays and surrounding Oak Bay neighbourhood.
