Nice colorful shot :)
They were in Le Havre, France, one month ago and it's a pity I couldn't enjoy the show. So, thank you for this picture.

best regards,
Jйrфme

Hi, Vic. The colors on this are fabulous. Sharp detail, great lighting and the people around give a good scale for just how big that thing is. Great shot!! TFS, Shelly
