I know that we do not want to clutter talk with pictures, but I wanted to post some "personal favorite" photos from NorFjor723 pending my sorting/editing/selecting of "scenic" photos from this cruise. Hey, it's tough to pick between the scores of waterfalls, fjords, and sights of Norway.

To begin with, here is most of our LCT group (I never did get a picture with Jim & Pamela from Ohio). From L to R ... Luke & Paula, Ed & Laura, Priscilla & John, and Betty.

SUPER photos!!! Looks like you all had a wonderful time.

Betty, I see you are still in rare form! So glad your talent was captured and posted for the rest of us to enjoy!!

Thanks so much for posting them, Luke!

Luke, Wonderful photos! You have a very lovely family.

Betty, I just can't wait til the day I get to meet you!

Priscilla and John and Ed and Laura, It's nice to see a picture of you!

Bravo Luke!

Loved seeing the photos of all and await your posting the rest! :)

Nice photos!! And once again, Betty, we're humbled by your talent(s). :)

Masaki

Luke....so glad you posted the photos - the smiles tell us all what a wonderful cruise it was.

Thanks for sharing!

Fabulous pictures! Thanks for sharing them. Your parents look like they are in heaven. So glad the trip worked out so well for all of you. Bette, I LOVE the picture with you & the Voyager. What a great idea! Cheers, Anne

I have to confess that I "borrowed" the ship photographer's photo for the picture of Betty with the Voyager. The picture is actually my photo of the developed photo posted in the ship's photo gallery (I was surprised how well it turned out). I'm sure that Betty bought a copy, so I don't feel too bad about using this method to share with my LCT friends.

Luke

Great pictures! I'll have to try the trick with the wine glass and wow my sister! The kayak photo should be enlarged and made into a poster....awesome. <img border="0" alt="[jam]" title="" src="graemlins/jammin.gif" />

Luke,

These are great pictures Luke. Thanks for sharing them with all of us. We too enjoyed sailing on RSSC with our almost grown kids.

Sue

Luke, your photos are just great!! It's so much fun putting all the smiling faces with names!

Thanks for sharing the photos, L!! Very nice!

And B, that wine trick is fantastic!!!

Sure wish I knew what Priscilla, John & I found so funny in the sail away photo, but by then I had probably had 3 glasses of champagne or several of those run drinks.
And how he got that back shot of me hamming it up photo is beyond me. I did NOT purchase it & thought I threw it in the don't want bin. They just took that photo while they were setting up for "Mr. Kitty's" formal shot. Yes, Mr Kitty went to Norway. Boring story with photos to follow - sometime, maybe. But he had a wonderful time.

Yikes - just read how Luke got the photo. At least he didn't get the others.

Mr. Kitty? Is he a friend of Mr. Monk?

Betty,

You certainly won the "most photogenic" award for the cruise and ANY picture of you is fun, beautiful, and memorable.

Luke

Luke, what great memories those photos bring up! I have no idea what we were laughing about in the photo of John, Betty and me -- and it certainly didn't make for my finest photographic moment -- but it is a good indication of how much fun we had. I want to go sit on my balcony and see the spectacular fjords instead of sweltering in humid, orange-alert Dallas heat! Oh well ...

To all my LCT friends, after receiving so much wonderful information from the earlier Norway cruisers, I feel SO GUILTY for being delinquent about posting while onboard the Voyager. At least Luke and Betty covered the bases with regular updates. John and I stayed in Copenhagen for the weekend post-cruise and got back home just yesterday after an unscheduled overnight in Toronto on our way home because of a missed flight after a luggage delay. (But at least we have all of our luggage, unlike some others!) I promise to write more after I get some chores and work done -- hopefully tomorrow.

Luke,

Your photos are excellent!

Fun to see who is who!

Thanks for posting them.
