Ferry boats, fishing boats, etc...

Derive a lot of pleasure looking at boats that ply the routes around here...

Takamatsu Port aka Sunport is serviced by several ferry companies... this particular one connects Takamatsu Port and Shodoshima... 
Sometimes the Japanese Navy (or is Self Defense Forces?) boats dock at Takamatsu Port... 

Nearer to home at Aji, fishing boats moor at the fishing port in the center of the little town... 
Always a joy to see the reflection of the fishing boats in the mornings...  

The water surface, still as a mirror that morning...



This orange colored fishing boat kind of like, stands out among the others...

    Perhaps they are Self Defense Forces.

    In our country there are many kinds of boats and ships because the country is a small islands.

  7. Yes they are always good subjects for photographers, but i am afraid to ride boats. But of course it doesn't deter me from riding them too except the obviously scary and very small. I've been to rough seas many times, so the freight of water!

    There is, something about boats, and water, and reflections of peaceful blue skies.
