Klaipeda Lithuania.
Klaipėda It is the third largest city and the capital of Klaipėda County, as well as the only major seaport in Lithuania.
The city has a complex recorded history, partially due to the combined regional importance of the usually ice-free Port of Klaipėda at the mouth of the river Akmena-Danë Located in Lithuania Minor, it was historically a part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth until its partition into the Prussia, and Germany until the 1919 Treaty of Versailles when it gained its independence and was placed under French occupation. In 1923, the Klaipėda Revolt resulted in the city's annexation by Lithuania, which lasted until it was occupied by Germany following the 1939 German ultimatum to Lithuania. Klaipėda has remained within Lithuania since the country's independence.
The city continues to experience sustained demographic decline due to flight towards the suburbs and other cities. The number of inhabitants of Klaipėda city shrank from 202,929 in 1989 to 162,360 in 2011, but the urban zone of Klaipėda expanded well into the suburbs, which sprang up around the city and surrounded it from three sides. These are partly integrated with the city (city bus lines, city water supply, etc.), and the majority of inhabitants of these suburbs work in Klaipėda. According to data from the Department of Statistics, there are 212,302 permanent inhabitants (as of 2020) in the Klaipėda city and Klaipėda district municipalities combined.Popular seaside resorts found close to Klaipėda are Neringa to the south on the Curonian Spit and Palanga to the north.[

The Goderich salt mine is the world's largest underground salt mine. The salt in mined 550 metres underneath Lake Huron, in Ontario, Canada.
The "short" exposure of the image I posted previously. This one is perhaps more serene/less dramatic than the long exposure...and the bird is on a different post. :)
Thanks for viewing.

The Mesabi Miner eases up behind fleetmate James L. Oberstar at Dock 6 in West Duluth. A PRS crew is busy spotting and dumping cars.
Cant come so much closer to the centre of Mandal 😁
The red boat is a fishing and shrimp boat.
It used to dock further up on the river, but after the bridge came it is now docked here closer to the ocean and in the middle of Mandal.
The municipality is paying for it since they ruined his other spot with the low bridge.
Good deal 😊
Katharine Docks, situated on the east side of Tower Bridge, is a tranquil oasis that offers a variety of dining and leisure activities. Despite being located close to the Tower of London; this serene location has managed to maintain its peaceful environment. St Katharine Docks has a rich history, dating back to the 12th Century, and continues to serve as a bustling hub for boats, as well as a popular destination for locals and tourists to unwind and have fun.
St Katharine Docks took their name from the former hospital of St Katharine's by the Tower, built in the 12th century, which stood on the site. An intensely built-up area, the entire 23-acre (9.5 hectares) Precinct of St Katharine by the Tower and part of East Smithfield, was earmarked for redevelopment by an act of Parliament, the St. Katharine's Dock Act 1825, with construction commencing in May 1827. Some 1,250 houses were demolished, together with the medieval hospital of St. Katharine. Around 11,300 inhabitants, mostly port workers crammed into unsanitary slums, lost their homes; only the property owners received compensation. The scheme was designed by engineer Thomas Telford and was his only major project in London. George Turnbull and James Waylen were working for Telford. To create as much quayside as possible, the docks were designed in the form of two linked basins (East and West), both accessed via an entrance lock from the Thames. Steam engines designed by James Watt and Matthew Boulton kept the water level in the basins about four feet above that of the tidal river. By 1830, the docks had cost over £2 million to build.
Telford aimed to minimise the amount of quayside activity and specified that the docks' warehouses (designed by the architect Philip Hardwick) be built right on the quayside so that goods could be unloaded directly into them.
The docks were officially opened on 25 October 1828. Although well used, they were not a great commercial success and were unable to accommodate large ships. They were amalgamated in 1864 with the neighbouring London Docks. In 1909, the Port of London Authority took over the management of almost all of the Thames docks, including St Katharine Dock. By the 1930s the only regular use was by ships of the General Steam Navigation Company.
St Katharine Docks were badly damaged by German bombing during the Second World War. All the warehouses around the eastern basin were destroyed, and the site they had occupied remained derelict until the 1960s.
The dock entrance lock was rebuilt in 1957 but the docks ceased commercial use in 1968. The remaining wharehouses on the western side were demolished to make way for redevelopment.

I couldn't be bothered setting up HD filters, but 6 seconds was enough to give a descent long exposure effect.
A commercial fishing boat rests on cinder blocks beside the frozen river, awaiting the thaw and a new season of fishing and waves.
It looks like it's been through some long and tough years of service, and yet it will probably serve its owner faithfully for a long time to come.
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.
To follow up on yesterdays photos of a matched YN2 pair that you cant do any more... later the same morning we see CSX 4523 and 7575 leading a loaded coal train north for the Toledo Docks rolling through Deshler.
