Wonderful panorama. Your skies are beautiful there. I've noticed that you don't over dramatize your skies in the pp. I like that. On the other hand you don't really need to with clouds like yours.

I find it interesting that there's a clock on the church tower. Is it reminding us it's time for church or time to pay taxes? Thoughtful composition.

Nice view of the modern with the old. As for your question about which came first, I don't have an answer. The churches are pretty good at collecting money too.

Ferry shots are great, as there is always something different happening on the water, something else going past, and a viewpoint at things that otherwise wouldn't be seen.

I get bored at times of the blue sky, as clouds processed well can be a brilliant backdrop to a lot of things. I had a quick play around with your image in PS. Upping the contrast, adding some overall saturation and a minor tweak ont he Shaddows/Highlights got a lot out of this really quickly. Your image does look a little flat and grey, but with those changes in PP, it really starts to work, and the boat stands out really well, with a more menacing sky.....'Escaping the Storm'
have a play and see if you agree maybe........A nice image that can really work well

The various shades and textures of the clouds provide a more interesting backdrop than a clear blue sky would, so no need to apologize for the weather. The splash of water at the prow adds a subtle dynamic that enhances the shot. The few times my situation required ferry transportation, I found the experience to be a real nice mandatory transition zone, good for relaxing between each end of the ride, and good for the view.
