Dock workers relaxing on precarious metal pipe piles in a harbour yard. Shipping boats and machines behind them, the city of Valparaiso in background. Faces of workers indistinguishable

I recently bought into the Lee Filters 100mm system and here's my very first image.
A mixture of the Big Stopper and 0.9 ND Soft Grad. I've still got a long way to go before I'm up there with the better landscape photographers but it's an area of photography I've not shoot a lot of, so it's a nice relaxed change.

South Dock is one of only two surviving docks in Rotherhithe, to the north of Deptford, which was originally marshland, with numerous docks in existence from the 17th century until 1970, when the docks closed. Most of the docks were subsequently filled in and turned into housing estates and parks in the 1980s and early 1990s, when the whole area -- part of the Docklands development area under Margaret Thatcher, along with Limehouse and the Isle of Dogs -- was renamed Surrey Quays. South Dock, however, became a marina, and was reopened in 1994. In the background is Baltic Quay, an award-winning residential block that opened in 1989, but is now very dated in appearance.

The Traffic Office, with its unusual cast iron portico, is one of a number of building designs by Hartley in collaboration with the architect Philip Hardwick.
The original design was by Hardwick, but Hartley radically changed it by adding a second floor to it shortly after its construction.
Both inside (where the 'light well' became an impressive hall) and outside, it was designed to impress and, like others of Hartley's lesser buildings, could be considered part of a 'corporate identity'.
It is built of brick with red sandstone dressings. There are prominent battered chimney stacks with connecting arches.
The most remarkable feature is the cast iron Tuscan portico and frieze. The four columns are 3.5m high, have a diameter of 1m at the base, and were cast in two halves and brazed together along their length.
The architrave is 11.5m long and was made in a single casting, in the shape of a giant "U". Brazed onto the architrave is an iron cornice and pediment, consisting of seven separate castings.
The building suffered prolonged dereliction, including structural damage, before being restored under the aegis of the Merseyside Development Corporation and re-opened as television studios.
The Mart Dock from the air. The ship in the photo is the same Goodrich ship from the previous photo I posted. I'm not sure of the year, but I think this was the 1920s.
The building with the curved roof was where Muskegon's hockey team played until Walker Arena opened in 1960.
Thailand - Bangkok Docks - Klong Toey (Khlong Toei)
Klong Toei (Thai: คลà¸à¸‡à¹€à¸•à¸¢) is a district in central Bangkok, long known for substandard housing. It is bordered by the Chao Phraya River and contains major port facilities. It is also the name of a major market, though not touristic. The market is served by the Bangkok Metro station Klong Toey on Rama IV Road.
Alternate spelling - Khlong Toei
Challenge 2015, Week 3 "Inspired by Poetry"
I found the poem and then went a looking for a wild flower, only they have too much sense to flower in January, but I sort of thought this Dock in seed would fit :))
The Flower
Once in a golden hour
I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.
To and fro they went
Thro' my garden bower,
And muttering discontent
Cursed me and my flower.
Then it grew so tall
It wore a crown of light,
But thieves from o'er the wall
Stole the seed by night.
Sow'd it far and wide
By every town and tower,
Till all the people cried,
'Splendid is the flower! '
Read my little fable:
He that runs may read.
Most can raise the flowers now,
For all have got the seed.
And some are pretty enough,
And some are poor indeed;
And now again the people
Call it but a weed.
