October-November 2018: Moody Fall Ferries

[Low Light Mike]

For October and November banner display, we're looking for photographs taken of or aboard a ferry that meet the them of "Moody & Gloomy Fall Season Ferries"

Here's how member Wett Coast described the theme:

As to themes for the October November ...  How about 'Moody Fall Ferries' where the weather is moody (not the ferry, well maybe the ferry).  It could even be a 'gloomy day ferry pic.  Photos entered could be taken any time of the year, but it must look as if it were taken in the fall.  Blue-bird day shots would not be acceptable.  Can be any ferry or ferries in our west coast area including adjacent inland areas such as Kootenay Lake.  It might also give some members here an excuse to get out and take some ferry pics on moody or gloomy September days.

Here's an example of the sort of 'moody day ferry pic' I'm thinking of ...

Here is my one (and probably only) entry for this theme. This picture was taken back in 2015 during my first year at UVic (at Thanksgiving IIRC), back when I was just discovering my love of ferries. I think this fits the moody fall theme beautifully.
