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, así 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.

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.

Docking ring for inter-spaceship connectivity. It is going to be a part of the Sagittarius spaceship model that I'm currently working on.

Formerly a shipyard, then oil platform fabrication yard, the west dock now sees much less activity. The 1950's Butters Bros. crane was demolished in May 2022

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! :)

Les Docks de Marseille

Les Docks de Marseille sont une suite de cinq bâtiments, autrefois des entrepôts et aujourd'hui des bureaux dans le quartier de la Joliette à Marseille. Les travaux de réhabilitation étalés sur plusieurs tranches démarrèrent en 1992, et se sont achevés au début de 2015. Au cœur d’Euroméditerranée, cet ensemble immobilier accueille 220 entreprises employant 3500 personnes : sièges sociaux, directions régionales, restaurants, magasins...

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!

Briery Creek Wildlife Management Area contains an 845-acre lake, well-known for its fishing. The lake is in Prince Edward County, Virginia. The dock is a solid unmoving "thing" within the almost surreal reflections in the water.

Docking in the bus stand at Old Street is brand new Volvo B5LH/Enviro 400 MMC EHV6 (BL15 HBJ) on route 135, which Go-Ahead too over from Arriva last month.

These brand new buses do look the part and are definitely nice buses to do. I hope to see more of these in the future.

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.

A quiet Walk around the world famous Albert Dock in Liverpool, a great place to capture reflections in the docks. I'm well out of my comfort zone attempting night photography, but with more practice I'm sure I will get there.
