… the fish market, together with Spitalfields and Smithfield markets, is in danger of moving further East to Barking Riverside. The North Dock of Canary Wharf has become too valuable a property I gather…
I love getting out at this time of year especially when the weather is so warm. This shot was inspired by the name of the park in Beacon, NY. Across the river are the lights of Newburgh.
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.

I went to the big places, the waterfalls, the peaks, the valleys. They call to me. But sometimes, the shots are where you don't anticipate them to be. This was the campground near Pipestone National Monument. This was on the 4th of July. In 2020 that meant staying away from the shows, the crowds. Here, my daughter was with me. I was shooting the dock and the moonlight. She said, would it be better with a little girl sitting at the end of the dock? Wow. YES! So she ran out and sat there, only to find that she could see the fireworks off in the distance from the dock. So she sat there for a while, watching the show. Great for me. I shot this several ways, I got the exposure of the moon in some frames, but I preferred the big glow and the big color. Enjoy.
Designed by Jesse Hartley, Stanley Dock opened on 4 August 1848. The dock is the only one in Liverpool which was built inland, all the others being built out from the foreshore. The original quay warehouses are of a similar design to those at Albert Dock and are grade II* listed buildings. The warehouses were built to five storeys, covering an area of 12,000 sq yd (10,000 m2). Between 1897-1901, the southern part of the dock was filled in to build the large Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse by Anthony George Lyster. The northern warehouse has since been developed in to a hotel devoted to the White Star Line's RMS Titanic liner, which has strong links to the area's history of docks and shipping.
