This is The Mersey Ferry Snowdrop.I went on a 50 minute round trip on her today. Unfortunately the weather was not brilliant and there was low dark grey clouds and drizzle for much of the time.

This is an important weekend for Liverpool and Merseyside. Firstly, up at Royal Birkdale Golf Course in Southport (20 miles up the coast) The Open Golf Tournament is taking place. And, secondly over 70 Tall Ships have gathered for the start of The Tall Ships Race which starts on Monday. It is expected that over one million people will visit Liverpool and Merseyside this weekend.

Can see that the weather was not brilliant Steve, and that's a pity, but you have to take it as it comes. Wish I could be in Liverpool to see the start of the Tall Ships race on Monday, but have other, serious commitments.
Nice post anyhow.

Nice presentation, Steve. It's dreary a lot over there, isn't it? You can have our heat if you want it.

I've wasted several days off lately due to overcast/rainy skies. :o(
An unexpected shot here Steve, are those the harbour gates partially obscuring the ferry ?
Good luck with the Tall Ship extravaganza I hope the weather doesn't spoil your photography opportunities

I actually like this, despite the white sky and unusual framing. I think it's the splash of red against all that grey and black, it makes it feel very maritime.

I like it as well but the framing is distracting to me. The ship looks good enough by itself. Nice work and information Steve.
