Puget Sound Ferries




[Photos by Big Frank Dickinson; Puget Sound, Washington]

Big Frank was back on the ferries again. It is becoming a habit and one that will not soon be broken. This time it was on Puget Sound riding between Edmonds and Kingston on the MV Puyallup, a Jumbo Mark II Class ferry - the newest and most powerful ferry in the Washington state fleet. This is the largest ferry in the world! It can fit 202 vehicle on its double entry deck and can carry 2500 passengers. There were not anywhere near that number on board when Big Frank rode it. The sun was out, passengers were sunning on the deck, and the view of the sound, Mr Rainier, Mt. Baker, Seattle, and the blue blue sky was spectacular.

WOW.
The third picture sort of stole my breath away, which i'm sure it did to you too.
the last picture has a really interesting composition with all the angles and crisp colors.
nice work Dad!
