Seemingly Surreal Pictures at Sea (part 2)

 

Tiny cars lined up on a ferry with black dots of birds swirling around the propelling ferry into the far-flung sea. A toy-like ship toyed above the sea. 

We were passing this ferry at a speed so fast that I got to take the moment of capturing this cute little ferry. Though it was not small in reality, it does look small in this picture..making it one of the surreal pictures I took during vacation. 

This one looks so so..but let me post it here anyway.

Seemingly Surreal Pictures at Sea (part 1)

The cruise was about to start and I already encountered too-good-to-be-true moments and spectacles to behold. 

I saw an incoming ferry which was about to dock the harbor. It looked so tempting that I wanted to go closer...so..I waited and waited... 

until I got a glimpse of what the ferry looked like in the distance. 

The birds even made it more interesting. 

The boat/ferry looked just like toy, right? 

See the tiny miniature of a ferry on high sea? that's what it fell like. 

The seagulls circling the ferry seemed to be undeterred by the visitors that they just came in hundreds relentlessly. 

This is one of the pictures that I like. Somehow it captured an imaginative sight of the ferry being so mall in the vast blue ocean. 

The incoming ferry was ready to dock and then..it was our turn to embark from the harbor.  

This kind of view: sea, seagulls, ships, ferry, far-away islets beyond...were all surreal. 

Venus Cruise @ Wolmido, Incheon (part 1)

 

Finally, it's 30 minutes before departure. Yes, we booked 4 tickets to board the Venus Cruise. The 90-minute cruise would take us to see Incheon sea, Incheon bridge and other islets that dot the area. 

That is the cruise ship we were about to board. 

It is actually different from what I thought. it does not look like a cruise ship, rather it is a cruise ferry--that's more like it. 

After showing our tickets at the entrance, we were ushered into the cruise. Hmm...it's gonna be so much fun. 

First..let me take your picture, first, gals.

"Hope you have a great adventure" 

The entrance into the cruise ferry. We were led to the 3rd floor directly. The 1st floor was a dance floor where we'd see the variety shows from Russia and China during our 90-minute cruise. 

This is what 3rd floor looked like. We managed to secure a table and 4 chairs circling it. A perfect spot to view the sea and what it offered to us. 

The kids received welcoming candies to 'seal' their mouth:)-:) 

With..a smile on our face..we were ready to explore more of Incheon by sea route. 

Wolmido (Part 3): Feeding the Seagulls

The seagulls fluttering around the ferry and flying over us... 

Yes..they intermittently flew over the people who deliberately fed them... 

They kept on coming back and forth...making circles around us...which was pretty amazing. 

Of course..Eyra and Freya could not resist themselves from not feeding the birds with their own hands. They saw what others were doing and surely enough..they wanted to do the same. 

Then..they began their 'journey' of emptying a can of Pringles and gave the remnants of Pringles to the birds... 

Birds+kids+sea=endless fun. 

It turned out that their Mom was also excited about all this. 

I wonder if the seagulls ever catch fish coz it seemed to be a normal daily life for them to be fed by the people. 

I mean..they ought to hunt for their own food, but..this port kind of changed the way these birds survive. Or I could be exaggerating....^-^

In fact people had started feeding them..years ago..

so it may sound so naive to think that these birds might change their habit.
