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!
First light on the Sawtooths Mt. McGown reflected in Stanley Lake. Who needs sleep when one can enjoy such beauty as this with their morning coffee? Even the coffee tastes better.
Your visits are always appreciated!
Enjoy a wonderful Wednesday!
Sadly Stanley has crossed the Rainbow Bridge - he had Lymphoma. He came to live with us 7 years ago and will leave a huge hole in our lives. 😢💔🌈
The St Paul's Anglican Church on the right here was founded in 1842. In the hall at the rear there is Stanley's museum and discovery centre. On the main street we can just catch a glimpse of the Town Hall with The Nut behind.
This view from The Nut allows us to see part of the Stanley fishing fleet. If you enlarge and look closely you'll spot the red lobster on the Hursey's Seafood building. In the marine park is a dedication to Patrick Hursey who was lost at sea trying to rescue a kayaker in huge seas in 1973. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/51394380430/in/album-72...

For information about this particular car see Maureen's comments below.
Beauty Creek flows through a canyon with eight waterfalls and Stanley Falls is the highest one. Despite being such a short hike from the highway few people visit here, which makes it extra special.
The picturesque town of Stanley (population 553), sits below the amazing prominence known as "The Nut". This is in fact the plug of an extinct volcano that rises 143 metres above sea level. Stanley is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tasmania (when tourism is operating!). In the distance at the far right you can make out the huge jetty of Port Latta and the smelter, with the hills of Rocky Cape. In 2016 Stanley was converted to a film set for the historic movie, "Light Between Oceans".

We'll return to Stanley in a week or so.
The town of Stanley in Tasmania's picturesque north west is just beginning to wake up. It has a regular population of 550, but this swells in summer holiday periods. Stanley's economy is dependent on farming (particularly cattle and sheep) and tourism.
Unfortunately the tourist sector has been decimated by border closures in the pandemic. There are no international tourists and very few coming from the Australian mainland at the moment. And that is unlikely to change even through 2022. Such a pity since this part of Tasmania (like most of regional Australia) has never had a single case.

This small town on the eastern shore of Hong Kong island was the original administrative centre of the colony. It is now a popular residential area and tourist centre.
I found Hong Kong Island surprisingly rural away from the centre of Victoria. We had limited time to visit this time but I am definitely plotting a return to have a better look in the future
I am under cloud cover for this shot which really made the reflection pop at Stanley Lake near Stanley, Idaho. Such a beautiful and peaceful place. (Won 1st place ribbon at the Davis County Fair in Farmington, Utah 2018)
Designed by Jesse Hartley, Stanley Dock opened on 4 August 1848. The dock is the only one in Liverpool which was built inland, all the others being built out from the foreshore. The original quay warehouses are of a similar design to those at Albert Dock and are grade II* listed buildings. The warehouses were built to five storeys, covering an area of 12,000 sq yd (10,000 m2). Between 1897-1901, the southern part of the dock was filled in to build the large Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse by Anthony George Lyster. The northern warehouse has since been developed in to a hotel devoted to the White Star Line's RMS Titanic liner, which has strong links to the area's history of docks and shipping.
