Description
Standing on the lower car deck of the ferry coming back from Port Gamble on Saturday. Denise and Marilyn and I hung out at the rail, enjoying the beautiful sunshine and warm weather.
I took about a million pictures of the bow wave. The ferry was really haulin' a$$ that day! We speculated that the captain was up there in the sunshine, throttle at full, yelling "Whoo-hoooo!!!" When we got close to Edmonds, we slowed waaaaaaay down, and sat waiting for a little while for the other boat to depart the dock.

It reminds me of a Japanese painting; the sideways movement and the frothy top...fantastic shot!

A beautiful capture! I love riding on the ferries and I've had some wonderful rides in great weather and one when the weather was stormy and I never laughed so hard as when we tried to walk. It was like a drunk trying to get from point A to B and it wasn't going to happen in a straight line.

Bow waves are fascinating...it just reeks with the weight and power of your large ferry. I was amazed on our last crossing, sitting in the RV without a good view outside...I was wondering when we were going to leave the dock and then found out we were already half way across that piece of the sound. I couldn't feel the movement! Great pic :*

One thing about riding a ferry is it keeps you low to the water and there isn't much in your way. You made the best of that situation and got one heck of a dynamite shot.

This shot rocks, even if the ferry itself didn't...hopefully it didn't, at least, as that might have caused a bit of seasickness. I love that frothy wave cap and the deep, rich color! Funny, but when I saw the thumbnail and read the title, I was thinking along the lines of interstellar travel and thought bow wave? They're traveling fast enough to compress hydrogen in front of them? Then I realized that this picture is aquatic in nature and taken in this world. Sometimes I wonder about me.

I do the same thing!

What a beautiful capture!

An image of liquid movement - still moving as I look at it! Well done, Clive
Katraz
Nice.

Excellent image. The way you've composed this makes it look like tidal movement. You'd never know it was manmade.
