Canning Dock is a dock, on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to Salthouse Dock to the south and Canning Half Tide Dock to the west. The Canning Graving Docks are accessed from the dock.
The dock was opened in 1737 as a protected tidal basin providing an entrance to Old Dock. Having been subsequently enclosed as a wet dock three years earlier, in 1832 it was officially named after the Liverpool MP George Canning. To the east is the site of Old Dock, built in 1709, which was the world first enclosed commercial dock. Canning Dock would have initially served ships involved in the trans Atlantic slave trade.
Access to the northern half of the dock system was via Georges Dock, George's Basin and into Princes Dock. In 1899, both Georges Basin and George's Dock were filled in and the site is now the Pier Head.
Along with the Albert Dock and others in the immediate vicinity, Canning Dock was abandoned as a commercial shipping facility in 1972 due to the rising cost of dredging and falling numbers in traffic. It was restored in the 1980s and provides access to the Canning Graving Docks, which are part of the Merseyside Maritime Museum.

Lake Te Anau, South Island, New Zealand
Lake Te Anau is in the southwestern corner of the South Island of New Zealand. Its name was originally Te Ana-au, Maori for 'The cave of swirling water'. The lake covers an area of 344 km², making it the second-largest lake by surface area in New Zealand (after Lake Taupo) and the largest in the South Island. Lake Te Anau is however the largest lake in Australasia by fresh water volume[1].
The main body of the lake runs north-south, and is 65 km in length. Three large fiords form arms to the lake on its western flank: North Fiord, Middle Fiord and South Fiord. Several small islands lie in the entrance to Middle Fiord, which forks partway along its length into northwest and southwest arms. The lake lies at an altitude of 210 m, and since its maximum depth is 417 m[2] much of its bed lies below sea level.
Several rivers feed the lake, of which the most important is the Eglinton River, which joins the lake from the east, opposite the entrance to North Fiord. The outflow is the Waiau River, which flows south for several kilometres into Lake Manapouri. The town of Te Anau lies at the south-eastern corner of the lake, close to the outflow.
Most of the lake is within Fiordland National Park and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. Other than the Te Anau township, the only human habitation close to the lake is the farming settlement of Te Anau Downs, close to the mouth of the Eglinton River. Between these two settlements the land is rolling hill country, but elsewhere the land is mountainous, especially along its western shore, where the Kepler and Murchison Mountains rise 1,400 m above the surface of the lake.
This floating dry dock at Laksevåg was built in England in 1912 and was at delivery the largest floating dry dock in the world, with 32,000 tonnes lifting capacity. The dock is 207 meters long.

General cargo ship Prima Lady, a 1999 built Finnish registered ship pulls up to berth in Goole's South dock at the exit of the Aire and Calder Navigation, to be loaded or unloaded? with crushed glass before a three day journey to Liepaja, Latvia. May the 7th 2024.
The boat certainly carries a cargo but there is no shortage of glass on the quayside!
This is the scene I took on the Li Jiang; GuiLin; China. It was raining at that time, I saw this bamboo raft sailing in the opposite direction approching the Ferry from far; where I am onboard for the river Trip to Yang Suo County. I decided to focus on this bamboo raft.
I have to lean my body out of the railling of the Ferry in order to have the shots taken. The dock surface is wet & slippy, I can image the danger if the raftman missed the step himself.
Thank you for your visit & support.
I always appreciate it.
This probably as the last time I went shooting with my white sneakers... It took me several washes to clean all the mud.. They almost got ruined with this adventure ...
I really need to get a pair of boots on the car for this special moments..
lol
I'm sick! :D
For this second visit to the docks I timed it for when light winds were forecast and so reflections might be possible. I was lucky and thankfully the cranes were also in a better position. As the clouds were moving towards me I felt that a long shutter speed would also add some drama.

What does it mean:
the boy hung
suspended
for the instant
against the far
trees, rim-lit
by fading sun
as he leapt
off the dock railing?
What does it mean
as he disappeared
into the dark
lake water, gone
under for a long
moment, the surface
healed, only a small
widening of ripples,
and from the bridge,
through the lens
the light seems changed
and changes everything,
dim, less focused,
the water reflective
of nothing, Vietnamese
fisherman leaving,
nightbirds silent,
mosquito buzzing
shrill at my ear
before I swat
the empty air

There was a bit of sun this morning and it was forecast to disappear by lunch time, so I decided to make my first local walk beside the River Trent to see banded demoiselles. Sadly the route has been totally changed since last year and most areas I use to see them have been changed, so very few were seen.
I did see my first shieldbug of the year slightly away from the area I usually walk.
After shooting mostly picturesque landscapes and countryside locations I have decided to try my hand as some inner city stuff. Leeds has many beautiful, idyllic areas, hidden away from the rest of the hustle and bustle of the main city center.
I was hoping to get this shot whilst the ground was still wet but for a change it was actually a very pleasant evening so I can't really complain.

The Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world.
At the time of its construction the Albert Dock was considered a revolutionary docking system because ships were loaded and unloaded directly from/to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes. Due to its open yet secure design, the Albert Dock became a popular store for valuable cargoes such as brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. However, despite the Albert Dock's advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology meant that within 50 years, larger, more open docks were required, although it remained a valuable store for cargo.
During the Second World War, the Albert Dock was requisitioned by the Admiralty serving as a base for boats of the British Atlantic Fleet. The complex was damaged during air raids on Liverpool, notably during the May Blitz of 1941. In the aftermath of the war, the financial problems of the owners and the general decline of docking in the city meant that the future of the Albert Dock was uncertain. Numerous plans were developed for the re-use of the buildings but none came to fruition and in 1972 the dock was finally closed. Having lain derelict for nearly ten years, the redevelopment of the dock began in 1981, when the Merseyside Development Corporation was set up, with the Albert Dock being officially re-opened in 1984.
Today the Albert Dock is a major tourist attraction in the city and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside London. It is a vital component of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City and the docking complex and warehouses also comprise the largest single collection of Grade I listed buildings anywhere in the UK.

"I’m here for my docks now…I need to forget my anger for a bit…and think strategically. Luther may have my Lounge for now, but I will get it back…in time…
Riddler made a grave mistake abandoning his powerful allies. He left them for some nobody low level villains in Northern Gotham. A weak doctor and an exiled monk. It’s time to pounce on this weakness and finally gain control of the South docks…my transportation awaits me there.
It was ill defended. Riddler’s been sporadic lately, one could almost say crazy. His empire is in flames…literally…and it’s time to take South Gotham…soon only one will oppose me there…the same one who now intrudes my home."
