An on-line dictionary defines 'the big picture' with an example:
"He's so involved with the minutiae that he misses the big picture"
As the cruise ship Disney Magic arrived in Halifax this morning it was hard to miss the impressive sunrise as a big picture backdrop.
However for those of us interested in more detail, the ship is also impressive in its own right.
Although only one of the funnels is for the propulsion system, the two funnel arrangement is distinctive and balances the ship's massive profile. It was very windy this morning and the ship used a tug to reach its berth at pier 22.
Although I could do without some of the whimsical décor, the Disney people got it right with the ship's lines and classic colour scheme.
Built in 1998 (and refit in 2013) with a passenger capacity of 2700 (but only 875 cabins) the ship is not a big one by current standards at 83,338 grt. It has called here a few times each year as a break from its usual Caribbean operations.
