The morning has broken, as the sun rises above the Pelee Clipper, one of the many commercial fishing boats that dock at Kingsville Harbour, found on the north shore of Lake Erie. In the background is the ferry the M.V. Pelee Islander II, also docked waiting to begin another season of carrying passengers and vehicles across to Pelee Island.
It seems as though whenever the weekend rolls around all I want to do is get back out with Inspire. Friday night came and I was on the satellite looking for comps. Itās such a great challenge trying to visualise different images and scenes from the sky.
After a little looking around I had a few in mind. The ocean pools around Sydney are always fun but I shot one just last weekend so I was hoping to try something a little different this morning.
I liked the shape of this jetty and the abstract feeling of the boats parked against it. The X5 camera is tack sharp at f5.6 and above and at 16megapixels it gives just enough resolution to crop in to create a nice slim panoramic look.

Boats docked in the harbor, as if waiting, their silhouettes silhouetted against the sky.
The sea and boats are associated with freedom and adventure, the possibility of exploring, of going far, of discovering new things.

26th October 2015 - A night time view of the historic Princes Dock in Liverpool (My office on the left..).
Princes Dock is mentioned in the novel Redburn, His First Voyage by Herman Melville (1849):
"In magnitude, cost and durability the docks of Liverpool surpass all others in the world... for miles you may walk along that riverside, passing dock after dock, like a chain of immense fortresses. Prince's Dock, of comparatively recent construction, is perhaps the largest of all and is well known to American sailors from the fact that it is mostly frequented by the American shipping."
It is also were the vast majority of American GI's first stepped foot onto English soil during the second world war. Princes Dock has long been known as an American shipping dock which has certain connotations for me as I work for an American shipping company that is based (at present) on that same dock.
All the men, aircraft, tanks and artillery not to mention the vast amounts of supplies to keep them all running came through this very dock in the early stages of the American participation of World War II.
