I stumbled onto this place about a month ago. It's on the beach, below a moldy crumbling hotel. In its heyday, holidayers splashed in salt water in stone-ringed swimming pools cemented into the rocks.
The pools are long empty now, their walls cracked and falling, their bottoms slick with mud and spiked with weedy grasses. I've taken lots of pics there but... so far... have utterly failed to capture the mood (I think it's something I may need to shoot at night; it's on my list, along with so many other scenes).
Anyway, I went down there the other day, hoping the pools would reveal their true eeriness if shot in infrared at the right time of day. Wouldn't you know it. Someone was down there, working in an adjacent shed. So I sneaked along the rocky beach (hey... not trespassing - everything below the high tide line is public) and scooted in under the dock with my gear. The rocks are very steep and slippery and, as usual, the wind was howling. I was constantly worried that my camera and tripod would tumble into the drink... so I hovered very closely during every long exposure. Sometimes I think I get better pics when I'm truly frightened (of whatever) while I'm taking them.
I make no apologies for this being red. I like it for its simplicity and straight lines. Also... to me, there's a whooshing-through-space effect. One of my all-time favourite things.
... taken from the dinghy dock in Ganges Harbour on Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada - an ongoing:-)) series... to introduce you to the many faces of this beautiful island, my new home!
I can't believe it's been that long since I have posted any photos here to share with you, my dear flick friends!
After a few times back and fourth to Vallarta and our intensive ongoing house&studio renovation here on the island, I am now settled in nicely... and finally also with a with a big computer again :-))
I sincerely hope you are all well!
Sending you my best!!

Sorry for the title ;)
Thought this made an interesting capture with the dock, traps, and buoys under the pretty lighting of sunset.

IMG_9425: My try at the wide-angle dock-and-water shot. The image itself is right off the camera, since I'm a Photoshop n00b - all I did was straighten out the crop and add a border.
I took this from our cruise ship as we prepared to undock and cross the Atlantic from Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands to Fort Lauderdale in Florida.
The salt dock (as it is known by the locals), located in the natural park of ses Salines, is the place where cargo boats come to get the salt to export to the rest of europe. In Ibiza as well as throughout the Mediterranean, salt occupied a special place in the development of commerce and society. Not only it was traded for its intrinsic value - that of seasoning and preserving food - but served also as an exchange medium, and, on this strength, became one of the engines of ancient and medieval economies.
El dique de la sal, en el parque natural de las Salinas, es el lugar donde los cargueros vienen a por la sal para exportarla al resto de europa. En Ibiza, asà como en el resto del Mediterráneo, la sal ocupó un lugar especial en el desarrollo del comercio y la sociedad. No sólo era usado para la preservación de alimentos, sino que también como medio de cambio. Debido a esto la sal se convirtió en uno de los motores de la edad media.

Dock 5 on the left hasn't been used since the mid-1980s while the largest ore dock on the Great Lakes, Dock 6 on the right, continues to serve CN today.
Probably my final insect photo in England this year.
Another dock bug. It was at the triangle section of the reserve. The setting is better than the photo.
I didn't have much time this past weekend to really get out and actually enjoy being at the shore.
Larry and I were busy most of the weekend, working in our rental unit, getting things ready before our first renters get here in a couple of weeks. There was plenty to keep us both busy!
Not that we could have gone out and done much anyway, the weather was almost a total washout.
Mother Nature took pity on us though, and on Saturday, just a bit before sunset time, the rain cleared out.
Larry and I took a drive up to our favorite haunt on the bay, The Surfing Pig for a delicious dinner
This was our view from the table over the South Dock Marina.
The docks of Bricksburg, situated at the edge of the lake. Not very big, but I don't mind that; I like how they came out. Looks like Hagrid is docking his boat! :)

Docking ring for inter-spaceship connectivity. It is going to be a part of the Sagittarius spaceship model that I'm currently working on.
I 've been trying to board a ferry to the island of Syros since early this morning... Strong winds in the Aegean Sea (9 in the Beaufort scale) have made this impossible, but now it seems the weather's better and the ship will depart at 8pm.
On the other hand, docks and ports are great for photography!
