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.
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!
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 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 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.
A Caledonian MacBrayne car ferry connects the island with Largs, Ayrshire on the Scottish mainland. Millport pier dates from 1833 and that at Largs from 1845. Renovations to Largs pier in 2008, costing £6m, required the ferry to berth overnight at Fairlie.
Millport was served by Clyde steamers until the 1960s. Largs is now a regular calling point for PS Waverley. For nearly 20 years from 1967, passenger ferry, MV Keppel crossed to Millport pier. In early April 1977, car ferry MV Isle of Cumbrae took up the crossing to Cumbrae Slip and continued until the sisters MV Loch Striven and MV Loch Linnhe arrived in the summer of 1986. A new ferry, MV Loch Shira, built at Ferguson Shipbuilders in Port Glasgow, entered service on 2 June 2007. At peak times, she is partnered by one of the original Loch class vessels.

… 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.
