Yesterday I caught the ferry from Uig to Tarbert to deliver a painting, being met at the terminal because the ferry turns around rapidly, 20 minutes between scheduled arrival and departure. It was a nary-a-cloud-in-the-sky day with glorious sunshine, albeit wish-I’d-remembered-my-gloves cold.

It wouldn’t make sense to paint this composition, but as a photo I like the contrast between the reflected sunlight and the ripples/ship’s wake going off in different directions.

See a pattern in what I enjoy about the ferry trip?
Reflected sunlight makes even Uig pier look picturesque.
