Ferries

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!
Car ferry å…´ä¿¡ (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.

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.
Friday evening, 22nd January, 2021.
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.

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.

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.
It's the 'Borrowdale' and the 'May Gibbs' at Circular Quay.

It's mid winter in Sydney.
The ferries are ready to party across the harbour to Luna Park, and then on to Barangaroo & Darling Harbour.
And in order to capture the party mode here in Sydney, in mid winter, it's 'Play That Funky Music' by Wild Cherry:

Hawkshead Ferry crossing the lake on Windermere, as seen from Post Knott, above Bowness-on-Windermere, in the English Lake District.
… on a blustery day - those clouds moved across the scene very quickly! Broughty Ferry is just north along the coast from Dundee.
The 'Liz Ellis' departing from Cabarita Wharf on its journey from the city to Parramatta.
Cabarita Wharf is near Breakfast Point. Western Sydney.
The 'Liz Ellis' is one of the new 'River' class of Sydney ferries. See:

I think they look ugly compared to the stately 'First Fleet' class of ferries. And they are no match for the beautiful, sleek 'Rivercat'. But anyway, that's just me.
