Fogbound Catamaran Ferry Dar es Salaam Harbor

Silver hull of a twin-hulled ferry cuts through the dark, glassy surface of the harbor mouth. Thick, white fog hugs the water, obscuring the distant shoreline while a perfectly clear, deep blue sky hangs above. The wet season air settles heavy over the scene, catching the soft, reflected light of early evening. Converging lines of the vessel's deck rails guide toward the vanishing point where the boat meets the mist. Rust-colored railings contrast against the cool grey water. One, weathered cleat on the bow holds a coiled rope, its fibers damp and heavy.
