I'm not sure what it is that attracts me so much to the mariners' chapel - except that it is a small unpretentious building, dwarfed by warehouses (also unpretentious) and it has been there for a long time. My maternal grandmother came from a family of master seamen who lived on the banks of the Severn - and I reckon mariners echo in my blood. Maybe this is compounded by my paternal ancestors who came from Ireland during the potato famine - my paternal grandfather's family to Liverpool and my paternal grandmother's family to Newcastle (my grandparents were firsr cousins) - they too lived near ships and the coast.
The waters between the islands of the Vava'u group are so blue, it's unbelievable. Some of the islands have sheer cliffs, others white sandy beaches. There are caves under water where you can dive or snorkel in. This cave is big enough to enter by boat. Sorry about the sky, but it was very cloudy that day.

A texture and vignette added to set the mood.
This is a shot of a sunset over the San Pablo Bay, which is at the northern end of the San Francisco Bay. The confluence of the Mare Island Strait and the Carquinez Strait is in the foreground. It was taken in January of 2012 from a small park in Crystal Pointe in Vallejo, California.
This was created from three bracketed JPEGs. Unfortunately, back then I was only bracketing +/- 1 instead of 2 stops. Also, I was not shooting RAW back then.

An Atlas-Centaur rocket carrying the Mariner 6 spacecraft lifted off from Cape Kennedy’s Launch Complex 36B at 8:29 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, February 24, 1969. Along with its twin Mariner 7 spacecraft, Mariner 6 was designed to make a close flyby of Mars to study the surface for signs of life and develop technology for future missions. It took 24 near-encounter photos showing a chaotic and heavily cratered surface as well as the dark features long seen from Earth.

We were very taken with the stain glass windows and the friendly vibe of the building, which is a thriving church.
From www.gloucesterhistoryfestival.co.uk/events/history-of-mar...
"Mariners Chapel was built in 1849 to meet the needs of the Sailors and boatmen arriving at the docks from around the world and the inland waterways. The Chaplain met arriving ships and services could be held on the quayside as ships turned round quickly. The Church also provided lessons in literacy and a coffee bar to combat drunkenness. While the commercial docks have gone the present Church is still serving the area spiritually and practically. The Chapel in its simple beauty is a quiet spiritual space for those visiting the docks.

Downbound for winter lay-up at Toledo, the American Mariner fights the heavy ice in the lower St. Clair River. Heavier ice lay ahead and would bring her to a complete stop.

Un buen día, la modernidad llegó al Trenet. Y la gente dejó de llamarle Trenet, pues ya era Señor Tren. Catenaria cambiada, nueva electrificación a 1500V., estaciones remozadas, y las obras del Metro empezadas por fin después de más de medio siglo. Si las UT 1000 fueron la avanzadilla de aquel proyecto, las UT 3600 ya eran la realidad. El primer material nuevo en tres décadas. En el sur, claro, porque en el norte……
Llegaron de la mano de FEVE en 1982, y el cambio fue radical. La gente aún no se acostumbraba a aquellas velocidades, al confort de sus asientos (excepto el espacio entre rodillas, que pareció diseñado para marineros de submarino), y al hortera silbato que trajeron de fábrica, que provocó en los primeros días numerosísimos atropellos (aumentaron un 520%) entre la gente de la zona, acostumbrada al grave bocinón de los “miles”. Tampoco se acostumbraban a la apertura de puertas por parte del viajero, que dejó a mas de uno en el andén y a mas de dos a bordo esperando que el maquinista las abriera, como siempre hizo. Pero al final todo salió bien, y los viajeros de la zona norte, desde sus asientos de tablilla, miraban envidiosos a sus sureños vecinos….
Antes de meterse bajo tierra (servicio para el que no estaban diseñadas) circularon también por el tramo en superficie entre Soriano (San Isidro) y Valencia-Jesús, a reducido paso y esquivando vecinos insensatos. No era su culpa. El silbidito de marras, al que los vecinos contestaban burlones desde los balcones de las casas y los viajeros desde las ventanillas, provocó como hemos dicho varios disgustos, y si además unimos a eso el tradicional desapego por la vida de los moradores junto a las vías y el follón de las obras 24 horas al día, ya tenemos servida la animadversión vecinal. Cambiada la bocina, la gente ya no se acercaba tanto…...
Aquí podemos ver, en sus últimos tiempos en superficie, a la 3607 saliendo de la estación de Jesús por la vía única provisional tendida hasta el apeadero de Soriano. Tras la caseta blanca del paso a nivel estaba el tope que cerraba la clausurada línea de Nazaret, que aquella triste tarde del 14 de octubre de 1957 desapareció para siempre, tragada por las aguas del furioso Turia en 5 de sus 6 kilómetros. Dos unidades de este tipo sobreviven en el PFM de Torrent: La 3604, impecable pero no operativa, y la 3609, impecablemente vandalizada y destruída por esos que se creen unos artistas. [3607, Valencia-Jesús, 18-10-1987]
Mariner's Play Ground
"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."
The Mariners is a Sam Holland Sculpture created to commemorate both The Millennium and Chatham’s naval heritage. The 35ft high concrete, steel and bronze work stands on St.Mary’s island at Finsborough Ness.

A fun experiment in composite long exposure. Can't mount filters to my M. Zuiko 7-14mm f/2.8, so I shot several frames at sunset and composited them in Photoshop with some Lightroom edits and used smart objects to calculate mean exposure on the set, creating the same look and feel of a shot using a 10-stop ND. Came out pretty nice. :)
