The "pakarang view" thread

[Tom McNikon]

Time to make the "head on" thread or here more known as the "pakarang view"
There are many shot like this around, so try to collect them in one topic also

So this "pakarang"-view thing has become a trade-mark.... what an incredible honor, I don't even remember how it came into our vocabulary either.

Great start of this thread.... scrolling between Freedom of the Seas and the QE2, I'm amazed at the evolution in design... and then, when scrolling between the QE2 and that kissing-lips-thingy, I'm shocked at the evolution.

I was actually unaware of that picture beeing a few degees out of center until you mentioned, but it still seems to be enough though to be a pakarang-view, right?

Some additions from me, "Fjordkongen"



"Ofoten"



"Stjernøy"



"Vesterålen" (A degree or two away from beeing dead on)



"Malangen"



Does the Pakarang-view involve straight from the rear to?

Great ones Tommi!
I especially liked the one of "Richard With","Pysen" and "Shamrock"!
Am I the only one who see the face in the watchtower on the picture of "Birka Paradise"?
