Just had the weirdest ferry crossing I have ever had… Wellington was clear & sunny, the strait was clear but as we entered Queen Charlotte Sound, a fog appeared…
At first it was quite fantastic – I only had my iPhone & Sony a6300 on me, but I shot lots – these are iPhone snapshots, will post others….
But then it got so thick, visibility was only a few hundred metres!
I could feel a William Gibson quote coming on…
The ferry never changed speed, and as a biker dude told me, “they’ll be on autopilot…”
But they did beginning tooting their horn.
At first it was a toot without much echo, but a few times I heard it echo for like ten seconds – almost drone like, and I guess that toot was directly into cliffs and an inlet…
A magic experience, especially as the ocean was very flat with almost no swell at all.
Spent the rest of the day shooting fog further in the Marlborough Sounds…
