ferry details – 4
This ferry to Quadra Island and back was a treasure trove of great details for my eye and for my camera. I think these are the last of the best!

What a great ferry boat!
(I wondered why you weren’t appearing in my Feedly any more, and realized you’d moved to WordPress. Hope you got everything ported over O.K.! Thanks for switching to a full-content feed.)
Hi Dave! Yes, I loved that boat! I think it may be the same that used to go to Hornby Island because I took a lot of similar photos on some trips there several years ago.
Yes, the switch happened around October 17th. Read about it here. I’m sorry that a lot of folk lost my RSS in the process. I didn’t know you weren’t getting a full content feed before for I have had it in both NewNewsWire and Feedly (though the latter gave me much trouble updating to the new site). Perhaps it depended on which reader you used.
Most things transitioned well though I’m still tweaking details, and awaiting more expert help on another issue, but I’m able to carry on blogging.
Striking photos! I don’t understand RSS feed. What’s that about? I guess I’ll have to look it up. Don’t even know if I have it.
Hattie, thanks! Yes, do read what RSS is, try wikipedia. It’s a reader (Feedly is one) into which you can enter all your favourite blogs. It will show whenever a blog has recently updated, and you can even read it there without going to the blog.
Once you have selected your reader, usually you can just click on a special symbol found somewhere on the desired main blog page or the ‘RSS’ in the URL line and it will be entered into your reader. I see your orange square symbol is located just below your archives list. Mine is just the text RSS-Posts on the bottom left side of this page. Some readers may work differently. Feedly is prettier though to me harder to set up than NetNewsWire which is rather basic but I like it. I hope this makes some sense. Email me if you need help.
As Neil Young said years ago, ‘Rust Never Sleeps’. The evidence is plain to see in these pictures but the effect of this slow process is very pretty.
Susan, yes, it is very pretty. But we are a contrary people for if this was happening to our valued belongings, we would not think so, eh. It does make me wonder about the ferry corporation and its maintenance record. Here I am, the artist in conflict with her practical side.
