Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases, poverty .... The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary. This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and enjoy in life ...

Cunard´s Queen Elizabeth on its way to Copenhagen
Cunard´s newest ocean liner, the MS Queen Elizabeth, entered the Sound at about 5.45 this morning on its way from Stockholm to Copenhagen. Somewhat earlier a Danish pilot embarked the Queen on the request of the skipper on this cruise, captain Christopher Rynd.
The 294 x 36m QE, as she is affectionately known, joined the Cunard fleet in October 2010, when she was named by Queen Elizabeth II in a ceremony in Southampton.
The QE, which has a guest capacity of 2,068 and a crew of 1005, is almost identical in design to her sister ship Queen Victoria, although the stern is steeper in order to give her a slightly higher number of cabins.
