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!
Love's boat has been shattered against the life of everyday....

Car ferry 兴信 (Xing Xin) crossing the Yangzi River towards Chongming Island. These Ferries are quite slow, about 20 km/h (11 knots) only.
Click here to see a high speed ferry on the same route.
Taken while doing a dead cheap 2-hour Yangzi River cruise using one of these slow ferries (total cost, ferry only: 24 CNY, about 3 EUR or 3.50 USD) with the purpose to take some ship photos on the way.

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:

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 sky pretty much something up the weather for the two weeks of our vacation. Lots of dark wet clouds with a fair bit of sun thrown in.

The cable ferry is a phenomenon that you still regularly encounter in our river country. A cable ferry is a fine example of the ingenuity of the former inhabitants.
If a river flows fast enough, you can ensure that the current pulls the boat to the other side. It is somewhat comparable to a kite with two strings that you can control. The cable ferry is recognizable by the cable to which it is attached, which is secured with an anchor in the middle of the river. Often, there are a few small boats to guide the cable.
