Moods of a Marina by maggiemae

Moods of a Marina

This morning in this little village, poised at the inland tip of the famous Marlborough Sounds, John told me he thought he had seen a uniformed man racing down the pier behind a sniffing dog! Of course I went out on the hunt but found nothing….. but this photo! It was still with mist on the opposite mountains.

Three good things:
1. Waving hello to like campers in their huge motorhomes.
2. A long ride to Murchison, an inland town with mining history. Now its flinging people around in a boat on the white water jet boat tours.
3. A big bus dropped a heap of young people in this little town. I heard, “when are we going to be picked up’? The answer, “i haven’t a clue’! That bus has a problem!
So still and beautiful, and wonderful capture.

Those boats look like they are suspended in mid air, wonderful reflection & the low mist on the mountain. Perfect title!

@inthecloud5 Not a sight or sound, Christine - thought they were after an escapee or something!

@julzmaioro They wouldn't be stranded, Julia - the bus was huge and would have tooted its horn. Where they al went is a mystery!

@hjbenson The place was so quiet the next day, all I could hear were the squeals of preschool next door!

What a still place, not a ripple in sight and all that lovely muffling mist. Still thinking "oh my" about that bus!!
