"Close your eyes and slip away
To the dream of your fancy
Close your eyes and float downstream
To where the marsh grass dances... "
Bruce Hornsby - from the song "Harbor Lights"

Even with the 10mm ... needed two captures there to get the wide view I wanted with the crane completely in the frame plus the floating dock. This is a stitch of two captures to the wide view I envisioned standing there.
A great evening to be there in Baltimore along the harbor areas.

Split, Croatia, view of the harbor after a departing rainstorm on a spring afternoon, the low light image was taken from the balcony of my apartment, the others from sea level earlier in the afternoon. Happy weekend to everyone.
Early morning along the Columbia River.
I will be away for a several days, taking my first flight since the start of Covid. See you the middle of next week.
Some fond memories in the past...seeing a Flickr friend posted many photos taken in Barcelona that reminded me of mine. I'd say Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, esp. with all the Gaudi's buildings there. He was one of the best architects, a genius, in my opinion.

Harbor seals, Phocidae family, also called “common” or “hair” seals by some locals. They are covered with short, stiff, bristle-like hair. Coloration varies, but two basic patterns occur: light gray sides and belly with dark blotches or spots, or a dark background with light rings. They can be distinguished from other pinnipeds, such as fur seals and sea lions, by the absence of external ear flaps; only a small hole (the external pinnae, or opening to the ear canal) is visible on either side of their head. Harbor seals are mammals and therefore breathe air, but they are well adapted to life in the ocean.
The first white settlers to Alaska in the 1700s established a massive fur trade based on the pelts of harbor seals and nearly wiped them out completely, but since the Marine Mammal Protection Act, their numbers have rebounded and are now estimated at between 200,000-300,000.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! I prefer to post a new image every other week when possible, but chose to post this shot one week after the last, to promote a very important message.
A mammogram + early detection can help save a woman’s life. Be educated about fighting breast cancer, and please share the message.
I love long exposure photography. The effects intrigue me, and even though I plan to capture a specific look with each shot, the resulting image often surprises me.
What I attempt to convey using this technique, is the surreal, but not unreal. An image that represents light and color detail in almost every part of the recorded scene.

This picturesque harbor is one of the most beautiful spots in the city, perfect for both residents and tourists alike. Located near the Grote Kerk, this harbor is filled with pleasure yachts and stretches from the Engelenburgerbrug to the Aardappelmarkt. At its center is the Lange IJzeren Brug, a charming cast-iron bridge that provides fantastic photo opportunities. It’s a true Instagram hotspot!
Dug in 1409, De Nieuwe Haven earned its name as the “new” harbor alongside the Voorstraat Haven. The Engelenburgerbrug is a movable bridge featuring an Art Nouveau-inspired design.
De Nieuwe Haven is surrounded by cozy terraces and excellent dining options. Nearby attractions include the Simon van Gijn Museum and Museum 40-45, as well as the Dordtse Rowing and Sailing Club.
Despite being centrally located, the harbor offers a peaceful atmosphere. Almost all amenities are within walking distance, making it a convenient and unique spot for mooring, open to both members and visitors.
