St Katherine Docks, London
Quite the hidden gem in London, bit of a wow moment when you first stumble across it.
Again, as with most of the best spots in London, I was asked to move on when I set my tripod up, I managed this 13sec exposure before I did though.
Thanks for taking the time to look, your comments are appreciated

The first time or two walking out on these docks takes some definite concentration. I'm the guy who when walking and looking at something, I suddenly step in a puddle or trip on a curb. I definitely didn't want that happening while I had my camera in my hands, and my cellphone in my pocket cause that'd be all she wrote for those if I took a dip in the lake.
We were blessed with great weather for pretty much our entire stay at Lake Chautauqua, NY. I worked up a pretty awesome sunburn on one of my first outings on my friends boat, and I've been nursing it ever since. When you're a fair skinned person like me who either is as white as a piece of paper, or red as a lobster, there is only one word........sunscreen!
Lake Pepin is a 2-mile-wide section of the Upper Mississippi River. On the Minnesota side is the town of Lake City where this image was taken. This is a public dock for boaters to tie up and walk to local restaurants, motels, and parks.

Saturday walk (Borough of Ealing in West London) - starting at Hanger Lane along the Capital Ring / Paddington Branch of the Grand UnIon Canal to Horsenden Woods. From Horsenden south via Perivale to follow the Brent River (passing Hanwell Docks) towards Osterley.
The early morning sun is just coming up over the trees, and illuminates this Catawba River dock in Mt Holly NC.
this is a long exposure of a boat that was down at the docks one night. the long exposure gave a cool look with the water coming out of the side of it.

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.
Liverpool City Centre 2015
A 21m (68ft) high sculpture, which is set to become a Gloucester landmark, has been installed in the docks.
The work - dubbed The Candle - has been designed by Nottingham-based artist Wolfgang Buttress and is part of the city's regeneration project.
It has lines from the poem, Requiem, by the Gloucester writer, Ivor Gurney, engraved around the base.

This one is tricky. It was difficult to deal with the dock which was overlit by nearby parking lot lights. Those lights also cast my shadow, and the camera shadow on either side of the dock (did you notice?)

I vividly remember my first true encounter with dark skies... it was near here returning from a late afternoon of water skiing and swimming. Darkness had fallen and as we traveled back to our "home dock" I saw a sky so full of stars I almost couldn't imagine it. I was raised in a suburb of Washington, DC where the darkest sky I saw would NEVER have revealed the Milky Way.
The rest of that boating story is amusing... We ran aground on a sandy little island and were rescued by other boaters sailing under the beautiful night sky. My father was bestowed with the nickname "Captain Beach'em" as a result. That was an homage to one of the other local skippers who had earned the name "Captain Crunch" after running his boat into pilings.
The surrounding area has blossomed, and there are houses and light pollution nearly every where around the lake... but you can STILL see the Milky Way from a dark spot.
I know the arc of my life would have been quite different if not for the starry skies of Smith Mountain Lake. I wonder with sadness how many childhood dreams go unlaunched because they've never seen the wonder of the night sky.

An example of the Christmas magic at The Albert Dock Liverpool this festive season.
Each evening throughout December, visitors can enjoy a wonderfully festive magical light display. The Dr Martin Luther King Jr building; situated near the entrance of Albert Dock, has become the canvas for an intricate light projection centred around the theme of “Unwrapping Christmas on Albert Dock”. Incorporating origami and hand-crafted paper designs in the style of a beautiful pop-up book.- to captivate the imagination and whisk visitors away on a fantastical journey of storytelling and imagination.
Magical Light Display
5pm – 10pm

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.
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.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
Muskegon's Mart Dock currently plays hosts to a few laid up vessels, notably the Paul H Townsend and the McKee Sons. The McKee Sons is actually no longer a motor vessel but an unpowered barge. My understanding is it was one of the first large vessels converted to a barge, with the stern modified to fit a tug. Nowadays, the pilot houses are usually removed. I'm not sure when the McKee Sons last sailed and if/when it will sail again.
In the foreground is the currently unused spur track off of the Michigan Shore. For years the Mart Dock was a steady customer for CSX and later MS, receiving newsprint by rail. The shipments stopped a few years ago, and the track hasn't seen much use since.
