Das Herrengrabenfleet ist ein Fleet in der Hamburger Innenstadt.
Von 1475 bis 1547 wurde zum Schutz des damaligen Stadtgebiets (dem heutigen Stadtteil Hamburg-Altstadt entsprechend) vor die Stadtgräben des 13. und 14. Jahrhunderts eine neue Befestigungslinie mit Wällen und Gräben gezogen. So wurde 1499 der „Herrengraben“ als äußerer Verteidigungsgraben (Stadtgraben) vor der Stadtmauer des Spätmittelalters, dem Neuen Wall, angelegt. Auf der Innenseite war der Neue Wall vom heutigen Alsterfleet gesäumt.[1] Der Name Herrengraben soll auf das alleinige Fischerei-Nutzungsrecht der Ratsherren (Senatsmitglieder) zurückgehen.
1546 wurde der Herrengraben verbreitert und nordöstlich durch das Bleichenfleet verlängert, das bis fast an die Binnenalster heranreichte. Die Verteidigungslinie wurde 1625 nach Westen verlegt und durch die Hamburger Wallanlagen ersetzt. 1765 wurde das Fleet zu einem 25 Meter breiten Kanal ausgeweitet, vertieft und mit der Elbe verbunden.[1]
Das Gebiet zwischen Herrengraben, Bleichenfleet und Alsterfleet wird heute „Fleetinsel“ genannt, wenngleich es im eigentlichen Sinne keine Insel ist.[2] Der Altbaubestand dieses Gebiets ist eines der letzten nicht zerstörten Ensembles der für Hamburg typischen Kontorhäuser. Die Speichergebäude aus dem 17. bis 19. Jahrhundert konnten direkt vom Wasser aus beliefert werden, die Schreibstuben der Kontore lagen in den repräsentativen Gebäudeteilen zur Admiralitätstraße. Seit Ende der 1980er Jahre ist die Fleetinsel ein Zentrum des Hamburger Kunstmarkts: Neben zehn Galerien für zeitgenössische Kunst sind auch Kunstbuchhandlungen und Ateliers angesiedelt.

Having not operated its fleet of MAX 8s since March 13, 2019, when Transport Canada grounded the type, WestJet placed them back into service on January 21, 2021.

The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen
The fenland parish of Fleet sits in the south Lincolnshire fens just off the busy A17 trunk road and about 8 miles east of the market town of Spalding. At nearly 12 miles long but only 2 miles at it's widest, the settlement filtered northwards as land was reclaimed from this former tidal inlet. Once surpassing Spalding in population and wealth, Fleet was the focus of Templar activities in medieval times with a yearly fair and vigorous market for centuries.
The Grade I listed Anglican church, dating from the late 12th century, is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. The 120 feet church tower with spire is like many medieval fenland churches and is detached from the nave by 15 feet. The exterior is mainly Decorated in style, with Early English arcades and a Perpendicular west window. According to Cox (1916), the church was restored in 1860, when the chancel was rebuilt, although the canopied sedilia was retained.

This is how I would like to remember the Super Fleet.

The Lee A Tregurtha is one of the most interesting lake boats still in service. Originally launched 6/25/42 as the USS Chiwawa (AO-68, a T3-S-A1 Kennebec-class oiler) she was heavily rebuilt several times in civilian service and is currently a member of the Interlake fleet as the Lee A. Tregurtha. In this view she's downbound on Lake St Clair heading to Ashtabula, OH. Gross Pointe, MI 5/21/2023
The three stars at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia: the 1902 cast-iron tug, Jupiter; the USS Olympia, hero of the Spanish-American War, and the barque Moshulu, a floating restaurant, all moored near where William Penn landed in his "greene country towne." The tug gets to roam around for periodic parades and rides; the others are permanently fixed in place.
Eel fleet dyke mill near Potter Heigham in the distance.
Most of these mills were erected to help drain the low-lying marshes. These mills were wind powered, construction dates range from the late 1700's to the late 1800's. Electrically operated pumps are used these days.
Just another quick shot taken between showers on a very sodden morning in Ambleside , admitidly the clearing rain provided a decent sky for a good backdrop. Thankyou for viewing , your comments and advice are always very much appreciated
My 1983 Ford Sierra 1.6 L
The 'biege thing' we call it. The project Sierra has sat for a month if not more being unused. Most set backs have been due to a limited parts supply. Despite sitting, the Sierra bursts into life with every key turn, it's much more eager than my low mileage example. Running lumpy when cold, once warmed up the engine is fantastic - it's definitely a car that wants to live.
There's a question mark over what to do with the beige Sierra. Now that the red Sierra wants for a couple hundred pounds thrown at it, I feel it should receive my immediate attention instead in order to preserve its condition. Whist financially doable, if push comes to shove I may sell this car - of course, most reluctantly. This car is in no way replaceable..
In an ideal world I think I'd like to push this into a garage and return to it in a year when I'm not juggling Uni, my new job, what to do with the Getz and putting money into the red Sierra instead.

In the last week of 2017 and my my very last week as a full time resident of Alaska I got another chance to shoot the snow fleet. This time it was again way up north in the interior as the ARRC dispatched a pair of GPs with Spreader 9 to work north winging out sidings over the course of several days. Frank Keller and I got an early start out of Anchorage and headed north on the lonely Parks Highway to meet up with the train just south of Broad Pass. We'd spend all day shooting the train working in temps below zero, although on the day after solstice this only amounts to just over 4 1/2 hrs between sunrise and sunset here at 63 degreees north latitude!
The train is seen winging north through the tundra in this going away view from the Parks Highway right at about MP 314 which they've just passed under to the west side. They are a couple miles north of Summit Siding (which would stay OOS and not be cleared this day) which is the high point on the Alaska Railroad at the Northern Continental Divide here. They are now in the watershed of the Arctic Ocean as they start down about two miles of 1% descent here. Considering that this wide valley is where the railroad crosses the Alaska Range, home of 20,310 ft Denali only 60 miles distant, it is utterly remarkable that this spot is only 2363 ft above sea level!

A Super Fleet powered stacker roars along the weathered telegraph poles on the Cajon subdivision. The San Gabriel mountains are already in the distance as the train is only minutes away from Barstow, in a few moments it will bang across Lenwood Road.
GP60M 154 is in the lead and in comparison the 555 built by GE already shows a pinkish red.
