The last of this group I’ll post, I think. The waves are from the wake of the Coho Ferry (on the right) as it arrived in the harbour. Prior to that, the water was like glass. It was only the very sudden appearance of the ripple that told me the ship was coming in. Unless the horn blows (and you’ll jump out of your socks if you’re close by), this ship is basically silent.,

    I love the sky and reflections. Personally, I find a bit sad we don’t get anything out of the architecture.

    Thanks, everyone.

    Benjamin, I was fortune with the sky. But then I also check the weather forecast obsessively when I’m planning to go out.

    Tolga, well, there are several other photos taken at the same time that do show a closer view of the buildings. In this case, I was attracted to the water and the sky.
