'Red Falcon' ferry in Southampton Water

'Red Falcon' ferry in Southampton Water
One of three similar Red Funnel passenger & vehicular ferries frequently plying their trade between Southampton and East Cowes on the Isle of Wight.

On the skyline is the former chapel of the Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley.
Netley Hospital was Britain's largest military hospital and when built it was the longest building in the world.
Today, only the hospital chapel remains of the main building, which was demolished in 1966 and the site is now open as the Royal Victoria Country Park.

Better detail when viewed large.

Explored!

Nice Photograph, the ferry stands out well against greyness of the sky and lovely light across the water.

Many thanks for that, Maurice. I was confused how all that light found a way through the clouds which seemed to be everywhere.

I thought so too, Pam.
I've just arrived home from seeing more of the sea and it was nothing like the view in this image.
Almost 5 hrs on the PS Waverley going from Southend to Tower Pier, opposite HMS Belfast...

The silvery light is just lovely but I like the big clouds too! I hope ferry tickets for foot passengers are cheaper- I'll hop on;-)

Thanks on all counts, Keith.
I've been AWOL twice this week and I have much catching up to do.

I know how you feel...........if you miss a day, it takes ages to catch up.

Polyrus has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanx, Keith. Even when I don't miss a day I'm still always trying to catch up, because I'm soooo slow. I don't know how you cope with working eight days a week!

Looks great, but the sky looks ominous; we've got tickets to 'ride' Red Funnel to East Cowes in a while, so hope the weather doesn't deteriorate!.

Polyrus has replied to Roger Dodger club
I hope the weather behaves itself for your trip Roger. It is crucial at this time of the year. Today would be ideal!
I enjoyed my time with Red Funnel and the sights of Southampton Water were a big plus.
