Quiet Harbour

 Lonely rowboat

The piers at Port Whitby are looking empty. Most of the boats have been put to bed for the winter and this rowboat was pretty much alone waiting for its owner to take it out into the harbour.

 Gate to Pier 2

The gate was locked!But the harbour was not empty as...

Red-breasted Merganser

a few red-breasted mergansers were enjoying the quiet.

  15. Pretty shots! That locked gate looks strange out there on the pier, but I know it serves it's purpose.

  24. That boat looks so inviting. Would love to paddle away for a few hours. Last weekend I saw the hooded mergansers out in full force, so the red-breasted is a treat. Nice reflections, all!

  25. Beautiful, peaceful images. Last November, we had to chip through the ice to get out boat out of the lake. :/

  26. It's a nice-looking boat. Too bad its life on the water is coming to an end. And those ducks! Did you ever notice they never learn to come in out of the cold. Sometimes you'll find them skimming along on ice! Sheesh!

  27. Pretty bird!

    I bet I could get around that gate, without even getting wet!

  29. The boat looks special because of the reflection of water. The last fellow seems to be having a bad hair day :)
