The Mega Andrea cruise ferry, coming in from Toulon, is owned and operated by Corsica Ferries and Sardinia Ferries. She has had a long service life.
Built in 1986 by Wärtsilä Helsinki Shipyard, Finland, for Effoa as MS Wellamo for use on the Silja Line, the vessel was rebuilt in 1992 at Lloyds Werft, Bremerhaven, Germany, as Silja Festival. After being replaced by MS Isabelle on the Stockholm-Riga route in May 2013, she was chartered as an accommodation ship to Kitimat, British Columbia and was then sold in early 2015 to Corsica Ferries Sardinia Ferries.
The people shown here are probably envisioning the way that they’re going to enjoy Corsica and are foot passengers. The car and lorry drivers are already in their vehicles.
This is number 5 of the Corsica album here and 54 of Ferries.

Thank you
My Internet had been down for hours and I can finally begin to look at your work!
Taken on the balcony, things are starting to happen after many months of waiting.
Thanks to everyone for their comments and faves, love to all!
Even when visiting the prairie you can forget the colors of the prairie. There seems a bright yellow and dull brown, a dusty and muted pall draped over the landscape.
The grasses are green. The grasses are brown. And your eyes can only notice the reds and blues at glances, if at all.
Apart from dawn and dusk, the sky shifts endlessly from white to blue to white while clouds build across the parching afternoon.
In summer there are few flowers, but even those come missing more often than not.
The colors in this photo are at once surreal and hyperreal. They exist in that uncertain light between the lens and the film.
The colors on the prairie are few, but giving into it feels more colorful; allowing yourself over to the prairie, scrambling with life, overcome with place and being, there exists an endless color spectrum of light.
This is how the prairie can feel.
I will often say something like "I try to make my color photos express how a place felt rather than how it looked," and that is what is happening here - though I cannot imagine it so for everyone.
Most see these nearly-desert places as empty, featureless, and ultimately colorless: the beauty is show through black & white, if at all. But here, in this photo (and with any luck in most of the prairie photos), our notions and expectations are merely the foundations for possibilities. Even this is little more than a starting place.
This photo shows nothing that wasn't already there. It invents nothing. It imagines nothing. It rearranges no design. What it does (I hope) is simply show you what is possible.

A fisherman returns to the Milang Jetty, Souh Australia.
A Pod of pelicans, also gathered like peas in a pod, wait with expectations of a tasty treat from the fisherman.

There it comes!! Little children ability
To see and enjoy the little things.
This enchanted expectation to the next moment
That….
Now I am older, and lost this ability of
recognizing those little things that compose my way.
I only have this expectation for the one big thing
And then disappointment.
These days I am re-learning how to see and wait
For all these little joys that really are
The greatest
Sometimes reality can be better than our expectations. But we are so busy dumbly waiting for something else & turn our backs to what we can fully be & enjoy.
Por muchas vueltas que le des a una posible situación con hipotéticos finales, nunca sale como te lo esperas.
Imagínate dentro de cinco años - o de uno, para qué ir más lejos. Te puedo asegurar que no será tal y como has decidido.
Recuerdo tantos planes de invierno para días de verano...
A moody Winter's evening in the Childers Cove area along the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia. I was expecting that tide to come in while I was taking these shots and I wasn't disappointed...wet feet once again.
7 Days With Flickr - B&W and Sepia (Thursdays)
Fourth Front Page on Explore in a row? are you kidding me?
Thanks again for the sweet comments and faves. I appreciate it so much <3
I wish a was pterodactyl.
Just less than a year ago a good friend who is a wonder at growing Cactus dropped off about a three foot "cutting" for me. Basically stuck it in the ground in the Garden of Benign Neglect and surprise, it didn't drop dead.
Now, within the last couple of days it has set froth a bud.(?) Which is now looking like it is going to...gasp! Flower!
I'm so excited.
My local lake, where every year there are swans nesting at this particular site. I have seen and photographed several broods previously and look forward to seeing new arrivals in a few weeks time…Watch this space!
There have been water restrictions for about 2 months due to very little rain. Most flora are not flowering and those that did have shriveled because of the drought conditions.
can we expect this for the next few days?
will the "russian bear" arrive?
we'" ll see.....enjoy your wintertime & moments for now and please, be careful

I’ve been chasing bee shots for a while, and today it finally happened! 🐝
With JJ by my side on his retractable leash (tucked under my foot so he’d stay put), I locked my camera in and got ready. The bees were zipping left and right — I must have taken about 30 captures until one turned out just right.
Finally caught a bit of beeuty in flight — and I couldn’t be happier.
