The Ferry Home Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the MV Isle of Lewis docking at Ullapool having arrived from Stornoway. Half and hour later I was on board travelling home. Loch Broom is a sheltered sea loch on the NW coast of Scotland. The sail home travels down the loch and out, through the Summer Isles and across the Minch to the Isle of Lewis. A dusting of snow on the mountains in the distance gives a winter feel, although at this time of the year we would expect a lot more snow.

Hi Ben,

those that don't have to rely on a ferry also don't realise how important they are, a real lifeline at times; If only they sailed on a Sunday! Lovely image with a fine abstract reflection of the funnel and a soft blue sky. Good pov and I like the inclusion of the small amount of beach in the left foreground. I hear the food's improved enormously since my last sailing?

Regards

Steve
