On the FerryLeaving Picton on the ferry. Some of the trucks making the crossing can be seen on the vehicle deck.
Queen Charlotte SoundLooking back along Queen Charlotte Sound. Picton is in the bay to the left past the first headland. The haze over the sea makes a wonderful layered effect on the hills.
Sea sprayA brisk breeze picks up spray off the ocean once out of the protection of the sounds and into the strait proper. The hills and mountains of Marlbourgh can just be seen in the distance as the sun gets low on the horizon.
SunsetSunset over the South Island from about half way across the strait.
