Photograph of the nearly completed vessel 'Mauretania' in September 1906.
The West shed used to build the “Mauretania” was 728 ft long x 95 ft wide x 130 ft high complete with a glass roof. It survived until 1959.
RMS MAURETANIA was one of the most famous ships ever built on Tyneside.

Pictures of the ongoing construction at the Ocean Reef Marina. I liked the simplicity of the scene and colours. To be honest I was keen to capture the high vis uniforms of the construction workers in the distance. A homage to Jeffrey Smart :-)
I will be at ACP (Atlanta Celebrates Photography) on October 13th. After the portfolio review all the photographers will have an open house. Check out www.acpinfo.org for more info. If your in the area stop in.
Hats off to these guys for sticking with such a Sisyphean task beneath a blazing Summer sun.
Please view LARGE.
This shot was taken at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport. The airport has wonderful architecture and the design is amazing. I was lucky enough to be able to capture this shot when it had emptied out a bit after my flight had landed.
I regret not having taken more shots but I was pleased to be able to capture a couple and I look forward to posting some further edits in due course.
I processed using Nik HDR Efex Pro and Color Efex Pro.
Not sure what the utility company is up to here, but this area has certainly changed. I've also posted a shot from a year ago for comparison. HSS!
most private constructions, unless absolutely necessary, were placed under a state of suspension until further notice due to the lockdown

Grey herons constructing their nest. Male delivers branches and female weaves them into the nest.
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is the largest heron in Europe. It has a long neck, a strong, dagger-like bill and long yellow legs. In flight, the neck is folded back, and the wings are bowed. In adults, the forehead, sides of the head and the centre of the crown are white, whereas in juveniles these are greyish. The sexes are similar in appearance.
Grey heron (Ardea cinerea)
The grey heron feeds mainly on fish, which it hunts by patiently standing completely still at the side of the water, and striking rapidly when a fish comes into range. The prey is caught in the bill or speared; amphibians, small mammals, birds and invertebrates may also be taken. Feeding areas are often vigorously defended against intruders. It breeds either solitarily or in colonies, called heronries, in woodland close to water. The heronries are usually traditional sites used by successive generations. The flat nest of sticks is built in the crown of the tree early in the year, and four or five eggs are laid towards the end of March, though often earlier in mild winters. Both parents share the duties of incubation, which takes 25 to 26 days. The young, which are covered in down in their first days of life and are fed on regurgitated fish, fledge after 20 to 30 days.
