The nights are drawing in now that autumn is here meaning that I rarely get the chance to go out with my camera during daylight hours!
I came to Stanley Ferry Marina because I wanted to try and capture some of the lovely reflections on the clear, still water. I have struggled with the lighting though because the lights from the pub and the street lamps were very bright so, in order to avoid blowing them out completely, I have ended up with the rest of it quite dark. I know I could use hdr but I don't really like the effect. Anyway, I have the whole of autumn and winter to practise!

Pont over de rivier de IJssel tussen Twello en Deventer
The ferry was already sailing before the Second World War. The three Van Wijhe brothers were operators of the ferry at the time. In the time of the war, however, the German brothers were not allowed to sail the ferry. Shortly after the liberation the brothers started sailing again, only they did this in rowing boats. This was very dangerous at the time, the Canadians even fired on the rowing boats after the liberation because they suspected the occupants of espionage. After the war, the brothers remained operators of the ferry. Unfortunately, however, the story of the Van Wijhe brothers came to an end in 1962. The maintenance of the scaffolding cost too much and fewer people got on it than before.
Fortunately, the story of the ferry does not end here. A young independent skipper named Geert Scheers took over the ferry from the Van Wijhe brothers at the age of 18. He later married the daughter of the former skipper Roelof Van Wijhe. In addition, he has purchased a (for that time) modern ferry called “de IJssel”. This ferry was only replaced in 1998 by the ferry “de Stokvis” which still sails every day today.
Former Manly Ferry, 'The Baragoola', now derelict and moored at 'The Coal Loader'. Ball's Head Bay, Sydney harbour.
The ferry has been waiting many years now now for its restoration. It was built in 1922!! Here is some information about the history of this grand ferry:

Photographed just before sunset at the historic 'Coal Loader' facility at Ball's Head Bay, Waverton, in Sydney.

In the distance you can see Balmain, and in the far distance you can see the Anzac Bridge, first opened to traffic on Monday, 4th December, 1995.
For information about Sydney's amazing 'Coal Loader' facility, a former coal loading plant, built in 1918, and now transformed into 'The Coal Loader Centre For Sustainability', please see:

Australia's famous poet, Henry Lawson, actually wrote a poem in 1916, in which he protested against the building of the Coal Loader, saying that it would destroy the natural bushland environment of Ball's Head.
As such, this poem was one of the world's first environmental protests. Henry Lawson was well ahead of his time. And if you have time, read his poem entitled 'The Sacrifice of Ball's Head' (1916).
Greenpeace could use this guy today, and Greta Thunberg would love his ideas!

This seemed like an appropriate image on which to end the year, as we leave the twenty-teens and head for the twenty-twenties.
I hope you have a great year in 2020!

This bright pink ferry shelter is situated by the river at Warsash.
The ferry itself is based at Hamble on the opposite side of the river and operates between Warsash and Hamble The pilot also keeps an eye out and when he sees passengers near the pink shelter, comes to ferry them across the river.
The shelter is photogenic but not too practical, a look inside revealed a dark interior with nowhere to sit and heaps of pebbles washed in by high tide.
It's not certain when the ferry began plying its trade but local research has dated it back to at least 1493.
The ferry has always carried a maximum of 12 passengers who were originally taken across the river by a ferryman in a small rowing boat (sometimes with their horse swimming along behind!)
Today a one-way trip costs £2.50 per adult.

So it's the 'Freshwater' - the pride of Sydney's ferry fleet.
This is the biggest ferry on Sydney harbour.
Zoom in to see all the ferry and city details. You can see the wharves at Walsh Bay, the waterfront parkland at Barangaroo, and all the way around past the Crown Casino Tower to the W Hotel at Darling Harbour.
In this photo the 'Freshwater' is returning home to its base in Mort Bay at Balmain, after working all day on the hectic Sydney to Manly ferry route.
Photographed just three days ago at sunset.

The Mosman Ferry has just emerged from Mosman Bay on its twilight trek back to the city. This is the 'Alexander' - a First Fleet class catamaran in the Sydney Ferries fleet.
It has just rounded Cremorne Point where I was waiting for it, perched on the rock ledge beside the Robertson Lighthouse, at the eastern end of the Cremorne Reserve.
I noticed the ferry go into Mosman Bay some time earlier, and I thought I would wait for it to return and capture it as it rounded Cremorne Point and headed off into the sunset.
'Alexander' is now about to dock at Cremorne Point Wharf - the final stop before gliding across the harbour, past the Opera House, and into Sydney Cove.

Pulls Ferry is a former ferry house located on the River Wensum in Norwich, Norfolk. It is a flint building and was once a 15th-century watergate. It was the route for the stone used to build Norwich Cathedral. The stone came from Caen up the rivers Yare and Wensum. A canal, specifically built by the monks, used to run under the arch, where the Normans ferried the stone and building materials to be unloaded on the spot.
The building is named after John Pull, who ran the ferry across the Wensum from 1796 to 1841. It was previously known as Sandling's, after a seventeenth century predecessor. The ferry operated until 1943.
The ferry house adjoining the watergate was built in 1647. Both house and archway were restored in 1948-9 by Cecil Upcher.
The Corran ferry only takes minutes to make the crossing from The Fort William to Ardnamurchan side. My wife thought it must be a boring and repetitive job for the ferryman and as he passed her window asked him how many times they make the crossing each day. The answer worked out at about 64 crossings a day. Which makes it a pretty essential link for people like us who have the alternative choice to go the long way round via Lochailort and Glenfinnan. If you are in the Lighthouse Brigade, a job at Ardgour lighthouse is probably a cushy number. It's not really even near the sea and there aren't that many stairs to climb, and no foghorn to disturb your sleep, and you get to work from home!
