Image of the week from Fowey
The image of the week from Fowey shows a view across the river to Bodinnick. Two images are attached. The daytime image is at high tide, whereas the second image is captured at 22:15. This is the view from the balcony of the apartment we rented for two weeks. The Bodinnick ferry runs across from Fowey to the slipway shown. The bright orange car ferry is not included as it is not very photogenic, but functional! This ferry terminal is said to have existed since the 13th century. I enjoyed watching the comings and goings on the river. Large and small boats went past.

FerrysideFerryside is the name of the blue and white house. It was bought by the du Maurier family. Daphne du Maurier wrote her first book at Ferryside, which used to be known to the locals as Swiss Cottage. Originally the property was a boatyard. Bodinnick nestles on the hillside amongst the greenery. The steep hill is a challenge to man, beast and motor! The yellow lines on the road do spoil the image a little! After darkThe long exposure of the night time image makes the water appear calmer when it is reflected in the lights. The road has water on it from the rain. It was fascinating to watch the lights in the houses come on one by one and add to the image. We stayed at Fowey river views https://www.foweyriverviews.co.uk/
