The lock reminds us that this is really a canal dock and not just a normal harbour. The recent development of this area has been staggering and amazingly tasteful.
Found the dock area fascinating, saw plovers and grey wagtails. Shame it's all seen better days. Can't believe this is the first time I've had a proper, if brief, look. I'll spend some more time round there on the next trip back
Docking baty 94 at Mos Eisley from Star Wars. I made this environment for Hera Syndulla.

Cork Docklands, Cork, Ireland. While in times past the Cork Dock yards were as significant part of the city's identity, in recent times it has fallen into dis-use resulting in many historic cork buildings lying derelict.
This dock is behind my grandma's Florida house (her neighbor's dock) and I was fortunate enough to catch a very nice clear evening outside just taking it all in.
I think the best part of long exposure pictures is that the photographer has a chance to take in the scene for him or herself instead of just "working" behind a camera the whole time. Sometimes it is very nice to just sit back and enjoy everything whilst it is in front of you.
Fitzroy Dock on Cockatoo Island. The brown and white building in the distance was used for submarine maintenance.
For this shot I adjusted to compensate for the intense brightness of the beach. Which do you like better, this one or the slightly darker version below?
Clarence Dock is a shopping and leisure destination in central Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It also hosts a large residential population in waterside apartments, as well as a significant office presence.
Clarence Dock was developed as a £250 million mixed-use development between 2001 and 2007 and is located by the River Aire next to the Royal Armouries Museum which faces onto Armouries Square. Clarence Dock's main shopping street radiates southbound off Armouries Square and is called 'The Boulevard'. Another important focal point is 'The Anchorage' at the top of the dock itself. The whole development opened officially to the public in late 2007. The retail and leisure sector of the development was launched on Saturday 11 October 2008 with fashion shows from celebrity fashion consultant and TV presenter Gok Wan. Upon completion, Clarence Dock now attracts around 1.5 million visitors a year.[citation needed]
The Clarence Dock development scheme features Clarence House, a 218-foot (66 m) tower consisting of 227 apartments and six retail units. Upon completion in April 2007, it became the eighth tallest building in Leeds, it has however now been pushed to being the twelfth tallest building.
Clarence Dock also plays host to the Annual Waterfront Festival each June with Dragon Boat Racing, Stalls and other activities being centered around Armouries Square.
Gloucester Docks was a working docks (supposedly the country's furthest inland port - though this 'honour' is also claimed by Goole) until the 1960s or so but was beginning to undergo redevelopment by the time I was aware of them.
However, the buildings beyond the main basin remained untouched for many years, some of them still working, others quietly crumbling. It was this part of the docks that acted as home to 'The Waterfront,' the pub in which I drank many a pint of Castle Eden Ale as a teenager. Having 'pound-a-pint' night on Sunday wasn't ideal but it was the nearest I got to a social life in Gloucester.
These particular warehouses, still wearing their 'West Midland Farmers' branding in places, are some of the last of those buildings remaining. It doesn't look like they'll be deemed fit for tasteful/bland conversion, so I can't imagine they'll last much longer.
Just out of shot is the boxy, unimaginative 'Gloucester Quays Designer Outlet,' built on another former industrial site. I suspect the same fate awaits these buildings. Maybe they'll get to be an overflow carpark or something equally forward-looking.
