The historic town of Kotor, on the Montenegrin coast, can be defined by colour.
Set next to a deep green sea, the red tiled roofs of the town form a stark colour contrast that's very eye-catching once you climb high enough to be able to look down on them.
On the surface, this is just a nice postcard type tourist photo, but delve a little deeper and the combination of shapes and colours become apparent, with our ship, the P&O liner Arcadia, providing the focal point.
Look closely and you can see that the ship is actually too big to fit the dock, with the stern sticking out into the bay.
With a stiff breeze blowing, the captain had to keep the engine running to maintain position - expensive.
