Or amusing/sexy/whatever.

I like the walkway for the No. 2 ferry berth in Wellington.

There was at a time, three of those phallic extendable gangways attached: another one on the lower story and another one on the right. It started as just one story, with nothing on the right. The Arahura necessitated boarding one story higher. The ramp up to the second story had to extend out the far end (which you can't see very well here) 'cause up to the point where the walkway stops being flushed with the wharf, there was a car bridge on top (the Aratika had cars entering from both the back and the side as it had two vehicle decks). When the Aratika had an additional door fitted one deck higher, the lower story of the walkway was redundant I think.

(I'm curious to know how passengers boarded the Arahanga initially, as its small passenger deck appeared to be about the same height above the waterline as the Arahura's, yet I know the second story of the walkway was added later when the Arahura arrived. Was it just a steep climb?)

Ferry infrastructure is fascinating to me, as it grew to be something more complicated than it would if designed again from scratch.

The Aratika was my favourite ferry. I miss it.
