Sun Worshippers - a photo on Flickriver

Sun Worshippers

            Like moths to a flame, the sun starved flocked to the pool deck!

The other guests onboard the Britannia had paid for sunshine and they were going to get every penny's worth of it while they could.  Little did they know that there were storm clouds a couple of miles up the road (look at the upper right hand side) that was going to have them all running for cover!

This was a pretty typical scene, all the loungers filled with people in various states of dress and undress, all challenging the sun to try and make them look tan and beautiful.  In most cases the color showed up but it usually started out as bright red, slowly fading to that crispy brown that you usually only see in fried chicken and supermodels.  The beauty, as the old saying goes was in the eye of the beholder.

Having lived in the Northwest of the US for so long I can certainly understand these folks with their longing to shed their pasty whiteness and wanting to show up back home with a Coppertone tan that their friends could only achieve in a spray booth.  The sun (and it's warmth) is an addictive  drug when you live in a place that doesn't see a lot of either and once you've tasted it you'll certainly be back for more.

PS:
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR.  For some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
