Mist and Rain

Chemainus, BC

"Here she comes!", "Ferry's in!", "There she goes!" are familiar comments
made by residents of the small islands off Vancouver Island's coastline.
Many of these islanders travel back and forth on a daily basis and a fleet
of smaller ferries, along with a few float plane companies, are their main
form of transportation. The weather frequently impacts these services...but
even though they may have to wait a few hours they eventually make their trip.

Ik vind dit een mooie foto. Het is iets mistig en de lucht ziet er wat dreigend uit. Mooie kleurtonen ook!

Favorite mode of travel in the Northwest. Love the hint of dark shadows or silhouettes in the dense fog.
LynnH06-Jan-2010 02:34
Nice with the faded horizon line. Makes it look like the ferry is going off into the unknown! Really do like this!
Jeff Lobaugh06-Jan-2010 02:24
Love that the background is totally misted in. Nice capture!
Guest 06-Jan-2010 02:22
Well captured against the misty background! It's a wonderful way to get to work from what I recall of my island living days!

I really enjoyed the ferries on my visit to the Sunshine Coast, great way to get around (unless you're in a big hurry, or late for a Dentist appointment). ;-0

Cool ferry ride, I used to get several tourist ferries when visiting the North-East USA.

Great perspective. I like the faintly silhouetted trees in the background.
Cindi Smith06-Jan-2010 00:41
I love riding on these. Love the fog in the background. I can hear the horn!

Nice, sharp composition in difficult weather.
Barbara Heide05-Jan-2010 22:20
yes , a very important item for the islanders...
Fay Stout05-Jan-2010 22:07
Yes... when you live on an island, your life is very much dictated by the weather. I am always fascinated watching them get cars on a ferry. I like this misty shot...
Guest 05-Jan-2010 19:59
Almost looks like there is a water edge, something like the edge of the world
Ronald Bijtenhoorn05-Jan-2010 19:59
Nice misty mood
J. Scott Coile05-Jan-2010 18:36
Oh how I love NW island life.
Bernard Davis05-Jan-2010 18:22
Nice how the smoke balances the trees got a nice feel to it. Well shot.
Stephanie05-Jan-2010 17:57
We don't see many ferries here except for the Cape May, NJ - Lewes, DE ferry. This is wonderful Racine!
Phillip Normanton05-Jan-2010 17:41
Ferry watching - it's almost an addiction :o)
Kathryn05-Jan-2010 17:35
A welcome sight.
