The old Clarence Graving Docks at Liverpool still in existence but possibly another candidate for filling in and built upon in the future!?. On a historical note they date from 1830 but were modernised 1928-33, to the left there was once a Clarence Dock but filled in in 1928 with a power station then built on the site, which lasted until 1994 when demolished. That site is earmarked for high rise development very soon.
What does it mean:
the boy hung
suspended
for the instant
against the far
trees, rim-lit
by fading sun
as he leapt
off the dock railing?
What does it mean
as he disappeared
into the dark
lake water, gone
under for a long
moment, the surface
healed, only a small
widening of ripples,
and from the bridge,
through the lens
the light seems changed
and changes everything,
dim, less focused,
the water reflective
of nothing, Vietnamese
fisherman leaving,
nightbirds silent,
mosquito buzzing
shrill at my ear
before I swat
the empty air
--Miguel deO

An hours photography down at Clarence Dock or Leeds Dock as its now known. Looking for shapes, shadows and any thing else that took my fancy through the camera
The docks on Lake Michigan have been empty for quite some time. Usually there'd be some ice on the harbor water by now but the temperatures have been relatively mild. No complaints here.
The 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.
At the time of its construction the Albert Dock was considered a revolutionary docking system because ships were loaded and unloaded directly from/to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes. Due to its open yet secure design, the Albert Dock became a popular store for valuable cargoes such as brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. However, despite the Albert Dock's advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology meant that within 50 years, larger, more open docks were required, although it remained a valuable store for cargo.
During the Second World War, the Albert Dock was requisitioned by the Admiralty serving as a base for boats of the British Atlantic Fleet. The complex was damaged during air raids on Liverpool, notably during the May Blitz of 1941. In the aftermath of the war, the financial problems of the owners and the general decline of docking in the city meant that the future of the Albert Dock was uncertain. Numerous plans were developed for the re-use of the buildings but none came to fruition and in 1972 the dock was finally closed. Having lain derelict for nearly ten years, the redevelopment of the dock began in 1981, when the Merseyside Development Corporation was set up, with the Albert Dock being officially re-opened in 1984.
Today the Albert Dock is a major tourist attraction in the city and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside London. It is a vital component of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City and the docking complex and warehouses also comprise the largest single collection of Grade I listed buildings anywhere in the UK.
DB shed 66074 sets off from Barry No2 dock destined for Dollands Moor on the 6V10. Dow Corning's chemicals plant is seen on the right. This was a once or twice a month working carrying silica sand from France but seems to have ceased running since Freightliner took over in December 2017.
After shooting mostly picturesque landscapes and countryside locations I have decided to try my hand as some inner city stuff. Leeds has many beautiful, idyllic areas, hidden away from the rest of the hustle and bustle of the main city center.
I was hoping to get this shot whilst the ground was still wet but for a change it was actually a very pleasant evening so I can't really complain.

A re-edit of an old image at Clarence Dock, Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kongdom. 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.
I love the old brickwork at the Albert Dock and there are 23.5 million of them for me to enjoy here. They are even more beautiful on a blue sky day :)
