Floating in the fog

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 3 December 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.

The ferry landing in South Shields floats on anchored pillars sunk into the River Tyne. The ferry service between South and North Shields operates every half hour, even on foggy days! As a shelter for travellers I think this is an interesting place to sit and watch the river traffic go by, and a nice piece of post industrial architecture.

I would love to see this photo without so much post processing (there you go selling your soul again).
Your remark about the posts reminded me of the 1993 Chicago Flood, caused by one of those pillars being driven too far into the river bed and puncturing the roof of a tunnel below. Flooded basements of most of the buildings in downtown Chicago.
