Love this photo! Different body language .. same keen interest in what lies beyond the frame.

And a fine-looking church steeple!

Loved watching the ferry video while imagining how it works.

And, like Mike said, I was remembering how crossings work in a kayak .. if you get your ferry angle just right the current does most of the work and you don't need to paddle much.

He's always happy to mix up a sense of purpose with some local beer!

Nice choice for today's photo.

Thanks so much, Jacquie. It’s a helpful reference, and I think you’re right. It explains why it’s so silent, which didn’t register at the time. And there is a restraining cable, that you can just pick out in the video.

I believe I have crossed the Danube on current-powered ferries on a cable, too.

Kayakers use a manoeuver called a ferry glide but ducks invented the process a long time ago!

I really liked that ferry! I think it is a "reaction ferry" (https://ferryman.ca/fm/00/fm_types.html) though I've never seen one in person as far as I can remember. Memory like a sieve, though. I think I might have seen one, but I can't *remember* if I have.

Might be Scarlet Euonymus.

Nice! Might be a Horvath's rock lizard. At least the photo compares favorably.

Always glad to be of help.

There’s the lack of a cargo net of course, but the main thing is that the apartment didn’t come equipped with a cook.

Yes, I thought this was worth a shot. I’ve never seen this either. Everyone gets a front row seat!

Hey! You’re running the table! Save a few letters for me. And not just the diacritically marked Croatian ones either.

Are arches always angular? A!

Terrible triangular torture tool. T!
