The ferry.

We recently journeyed with friends to Manitoulin Island, at the north end of Lake Huron, for a short holiday. There are two public ways to get there – via a bridge at the north end of the island, or via the Chi-Cheemaun car/passenger ferry from Tobermory, at the end of the Bruce Peninsula. the ferry made the most sense for us.

Here is approaches the dock at Tobermory, before our vehicle, along with many others and passengers for the 1 1/2 hour sailing to Manitoulin.

The colourfully painted passenger/car ferry Chi-Cheemaun, with its front brow opening up, approaches the loading dock at Tobermory, Ontario.

Appropriately wintry.

An appropriately wintry scene.

Last image.

The last image I will share from our recent camping trip, another shot of a truly marvellous sunset.

We were truly blessed to witness this.

Bright day

The afternoon was far less austere than this image of Goderich Harbour, with an icy Lake Huron in the background, suggests.

Ice and water

Ipperwash Beach, Lake Huron. No swimming on this day.

Guard

An empty, solitary lifeguard station loses the battle against the waves. Soon it will be put into storage and the waves will wash unimpeded over the beach until next spring.
