Ferry

Without the Wide-Angle Lens it was not possible to capture the complete vessel from the distance taken. My car is beside the ship to show comparison of size. This Ferry travels from Western Shore of Lake Michigan (Manitowoc, Wisconsin) to the Eastern Shore of the Lake (somewhere in Michigan) with travel time of approximately 5 hours.

Mereana just told me that this is amazing as it's a ferry. Well us blokes have seen the cross channel ferries & they're big a. Even the Titanic was only a cross Atlantic ferry:-)

I'm not sure wot Penny finds amazing as it looks like any other ship to me but the juxtaposition of the grass, road, car & ship certainly works for a fine capture. Well done Troy.
