Fährhafen Puttgarden auf Fehmarn in der Ostsee.
---------------------------
Die Fährverbindung von Puttgarden nach Rödby wird auch Vogelfluglinie genannt. Diese Schiffsverbindung ist wichtig für den internationalen Straßen- und Eisenbahnverkehr zwischen Deutschland und Dänemark. Sie führt von Puttgarden auf der deutschen Insel Fehmarn über den Fehmarnbelt bis zur dänischen Insel Lolland.
Die Vogelfluglinie wurde 1963 von König Friedrich IX. von Dänemark und dem Bundespräsidenten Heinrich Lübke eröffnet. Der Name "Vogelfluglinie" bezieht sich auf die Flugroute der Kraniche und anderer arktischer Wasservögel zwischen Mitteleuropa und Skandinavien.
Die Fähren starten in der Regel alle 30 Minuten vom Hafen Puttgarden in Richtung Rodby. Die reine Fahrzeit für die Strecke beträgt ca. 45 Minuten. Der Check-In für reservierte Fahrzeuge sollte min. 15 Minuten vor Abfahrt erfolgen.

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!

I often utilize the Ferries for transportation, and this time was parked by an opening. Guarding against the splash, and 90 degrees to the sun, gave my polarizer an optimal angle. I then worked on a presentable composition between the waves created by the Ferry and the snow peaked mountains. The wave became a leading line with snow capped mountains, the destination.
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.

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.
… on a blustery day - those clouds moved across the scene very quickly! Broughty Ferry is just north along the coast from Dundee.
