Moving to the pier

An older image : I don't know why boats coming into harbours appeal to me so much. I certainly don't like going out in them...

hey, back up quick! There is something about arrivals and departures, maybe nostalgia? But I like to go along for the trip, too :o)

this is so lovely, a very dramatic shot.
i love seeing boats, aeroplanes etc arrive or
depart, it always stirs something inside me.

Dramatic! The strong bow-wave gives an alarming impression of speed, but might be caused by reversed thrust from propellers that some ferries have at each end? Whatever, it's an interesting shot. ~V~

Beautiful boat, it comes very fast towards the pier! V

Excellent composition and nice movement in the water.

What are all the scaffold poles for?

J'aime bien la couleur bleutée dans son ensemble. Elle donne une ambiance particulière.

I love boats. This a very good capure, Máire. I like direct angle, and the waves created by the boat.
