Dunkerque harbour and evening in Suresnes

Image
We landed at Dunkerque and drove down through northern France to our campsite in the Bois de Boulogne on the north western fringe of Paris. Our campsite was near the Pont de Suresnes which crosses the Seine to the suburb of Suresnes. We walked here in the evening and found that there was a weir on the Seine and some large machinery associated with it. We also discovered that the parisians have 'Boris' bikes. The first picture is a multiple exposure of the back of the ferry as we approached Dunkerque.

Dover to Dunkerque - on the ferry

Leaving England in the fog there were a few hardy souls up on deck who proved good subjects for monochrome photography. The fog made a great softbox and gave wonderful lighting conditions. As we approached France the sun started to burn through and as you can see the last picture had much more contrast.

Leaving Dover by ferry in the fog

Last weekend we made a flying visit to Paris in the camper van. We took the 10.00am ferry from Dover to Dunkerque and left in a thick sea fog. I have made this crossing many times but never under these conditions and it was quite eerie.
