A mile or so from the Port Jefferson railroad station
The ferry can be seen approaching in rear at right
Make way for the ferry
Front loader begins to open to let cars disembark
Racing with the ferry
Now on return voyage to Bridgeport, ferry makes way past house on the hill
Sand, water and sun
Not everyone's sailing today
But some are
Ferry sails past lighthouse midway across the sound; grainy background caused by camera using doubled 400 mm lens that simulated an 800 mm lens; heavy camera rig was hand held on a porpoising ferry; given the architecture of the building, a lighthouse keeper probably lived on the tiny islet
Nearing Connecticut shore
Will the police make an arrest before we make port?
Not to worry, the gulls will vouch for everyone onboard the ferry
Looking east toward Long Island, just before docking in Bridgeport
Minutes away from disembarking
Bridgeportians out to welcome visitors from Long Island
Downtown Bridgeport
Another modern building downtown
