Leith Docks was known as the Port of Edinburgh and flourished in the nineteenth century. After 1945 the dock area went in severe decline.

Canning Dock, opened in 1737, named after Liverpool MP, George Canning. It was the World's first enclosed commercial dock
Susanne and Mario Simmen were the first passengers arriving at the new Dock B. They flew in on flight LX 289 from Johannesburg and were welcomed by SWISS, the airport and local journalists.
A concrete boat ramp, docks, paved parking and 12 camp units are situated on the shore of 500-acre Killarney Lake. Campsites do not have electrical or water hookups. Drinking water is available from a hand lift pump. Camp units, water and vault toilet are accessible. Camping fees apply to campsite day use and overnight stays.
This is a photo of a dock on San Francisco Bay (like the Otis Redding song). It was taken on Harbor Bay/Alameda.
This morning, I got a call from the local weatherman, Joel Bartlette, on ABC/KGO (ch7) and they will be showing my photograph of Alameda on the morning news, Monday June 12th 6:48AM.
Isn't that cool? :-)
Most WDW fans do not venture outside of the parks. Shame, since beautiful Lake Apopka is just north! Green Mountain Scenic Byway and the West Orange Trail as well!
What started out being a really dumb mistake ended up with some really cool looking images.
I took a long photowalk this afternoon down to Lake Harriet with my Holga and Kodak Brownie. After finishing off the Holga, I opened it up and took the film out, then realizing that 120 film really doesn't have that much protecting it. So after getting home and developing it, i had a lot of faded light leaked photos. But as I started scanning, I enjoyed them a whole lot.

Old Valentines postcard of Devonport Docks, looks like a Pre Dreadnought Battleship at anchor.
It has been used, postmark date 31st October 1905.
The Albert Dock Conservation Area is characterised by the juxtaposition of buildings and water, created by and for their historic working relationship.
Of necessity the docks and their structures are set apart from the city and not integrated into the city street pattern.
Historically, the Albert Dock complex was separated from the city by a high wall, although a six-lane road now isolates it. The dominant pattern of the area is set by the docks themselves, and streets have been inserted around them.
The impressive views and vistas within or from the Albert Dock Conservation Area, such as the view of the "Three Graces" along Salthouse Quay or the view of the Anglican Cathedral between Warehouses A and E have been achieved incidentally, but nonetheless create a strong maritime character.
The removal of quayside warehousing and transit sheds, particularly around Salthouse Dock and Duke's Dock, have completely opened up views of the docks and the Albert Dock buildings.
At five storeys plus basement the warehouses overshadow most of the other surrounding buildings and structures.
However, as they were all designed with a functional relationship, they work together as an ensemble and the unified design is apparent.
The loss of much of the inland warehousing and its dense street pattern, coupled with the widening of the Strand/ Wapping has given the Albert Dock complex increased visibility across the city at large.
This is a hard working environment, and green spaces are generally alien and absent. However, some trees have been introduced (along Salthouse Quay and also to soften the car-parking areas on Gower Street) and these do not in any way detract from the character of the area.
LIVERPOOL CONSERVATION AREA APRIL 2013
Docking Church in Norfolk was another which I encountered while house-hunting last weekend. The church is dedicated to St Mary The Virgin. It mostly dates from the 14th and 15th century with Victorian restorations.

While in the village I was told that there is an archaeological project locally to try and find a lost 12th to 14th century priory. One theory is that this failed priory made be under the present parish church but test digs have been held around the village to play 'hunt the thimble' or - in this case - "hunt the priory', so far without success.
In his three-volume guide to Norfolk churches author Adrian S. Pye suggests that the tombstone of John Houton (d. 1428) near the south porch of Docking Church is the oldest surviving tombstone in Norfolk.
English Jesuit martyr Henry Walpole (executed 1595) was baptised here in 1558. He was later canonized as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.
SImon_Knott tells me that Docking is the highest town in Norfolk so that makes the top of Docking Church probably the highest building in the county, at least pre-1900.
With Easter around the corner, the city sits in the shadow of North Wales and it's snowcapped mountains.
This was taken from Everton Ridge, a great vantage point that boasts views up and down the river, as well as out to sea. This view is one of contrast with the docks and warehouses in the foreground, not to mention the rooftops of Scottie Road.
We then have the river, with one of the ferries just going out of view behind the tobacco warehouse, had this view been taken yesterday, the river would have been rough what with the wind and the hail the region experienced. Today, however it was calm (much to the relief of the passengers on the ferry).
The Wirral can be seen rising out of the Mersey with the Wallasey Promenade system running along the river-shore. Wallasey Town Hall, with it's tower can be spotted behind the tobacco warehouse. The three tower-blocks in the background are on the Sandbrook Estate in Moreton. There is talk that the blocks will be knocked down, I know of a few people who have been moved out of one of them. As of yet, no date has been published.
Forming the backdrop to this Merseyside scene, is North Wales with it's Flintshire Hills unaffected by the wintry weather that has been experienced further inland. As the Easter Bank Holiday approaches, many Merseysider's will be flocking to their Welsh Retreats, may that be on the coast, or inland.
Where-ever you are, Happy Easter.
Another angle of the docking ring with a nice peek into the main dock itself.
Thank God for Letrapens! :D

Gothenburg docks on a March day.
We went to Gothenburg for a business trip and in a weeks time we had only one day with some proper free time.
That day I took about 300 photos.
It's also funny to think how they had so springy feeling there and no snow at all, almost 1,5 months before. This week it's been snowing like crazy here in Finland, no springtime anywhere. Gothenburg isn't that much more south afterall.
Lake Shumway at Savannah Portage State Park, Minnesota. This was shot in near darkness requiring a 30 sec exposure. An Orton Effect treatment was supplied which yields the dreamy colors.

Somebody once wrote.....Between the deep stonethwaite valley and the shallow depression containing Bleatarn gill rises an indefinite and complex mass of rough undulating ground,a place of craggy and wooded slopes. of heathery tors and mossy swamps and shy little tarns.....a beautiful labyrinth, a joy to the explorer. Nestling here is Dock tarn, a jewel deserving a sweeter name.
