A Lambanana guards the entrance to the Albert Dock. be wary, although they look cute they can give a nasty nip and like to shit on your shoes when your not looking!
It was a beautiful sunny day at the Albert Dock and these reflections were crying out to be photographed.

The single storey warehouse on the left is the Great Western Warehouse of 1863. Originally a tall warehouse of several storeys, it was gutted by fire in 1945 and only the ground floor was salvagable. No. 4 Warehouse (centre) probably dates from the 1940s. Behind it is the roof of Fox's Malthouse of 1888. On the right is part of the Alexandra Warehouse of 1870. 16th April 1991.
Visited Delaware City yesterday to shoot the 114th Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen's Association Parade. I had a great time and Delaware City is one of Delaware's best kept secrets.
This is the iPhone dock I posted a while ago from my iPhone, this time in better quality. It's a simple little tool that not only holds the cable in the proper position, but also routes the cable neatly out the back
Preston Docks as it was and how it should be, the ship Geeststar was a common sight to this inland port, I'm talking a good thirty years ago now, when you could wander the docks and enjoy seeing the different vessels loading and unloading their wares. The ship was one of several vessels that brought bananas over from the Carribean, and obviously Geest was one of the well known importers of bananas. The ship also had accommodation for several passengers.
Now to the film and picture itself, Agfa CT18 was what I was using at the time, I'd love to try Agfa films in my Leicas, sadly they've gone bust, never mind. The transparency hasn't aged well, as they were bound in glass, standard practise at the time, and has suffered quite a lot of fungus, had to nearly airbrush the sky after scanning, it was so badly affected.
When mounting slides you stuck the perforations to the glued inside of the mount, placed it between two clean two inch square glass plates, one was pregla glass that had a slightly mottled surface, which went on the shiny non emulsion side of the transparency, this helped to prevent Newtons rings from forming, rainbow coloured contours like you have on ordnance maps. Then when you were quite happy, wou then sealed the whole lot up with mitered gummed tape called passe par tout, remember Around The World In Forty Days? That's what you did when you were exibiting slides.

Through the Aberdeen Tunnel (a two-tube tunnel linking Happy Valley and Wong Chuk Hang near Aberdeen on the Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong) and onto Aberdeen. The tunnel shortens the travel time between the north and the south of the Hong Kong Island. It connects the Wong Chuk Hang Road in the south, and Canal Road Flyover in the north.
The tunnel is 1.9 kilometres long.
Aberdeen is an area and town on the Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. Administratively, it is part of the Southern District. Aberdeen Harbour is a harbour between Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau. The name 'Aberdeen' can refer to the areas of Aberdeen, Wong Chuk Hang and Ap Lei Chau, but it is more often used to refer to the town only.
Aberdeen is famous to tourists for its floating village and floating seafood restaurants located within the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelters. The Tanka people are generally associated with the fishing industry, and there are also several dozen expatriates living on boats in the harbour.
Ocean Park is in this area.
Starting during the Ming Dynasty, "Hong Kong" became the original name for the presently-named Aberdeen village. In the early 19th century, foreigners who landed near Aberdeen Village mistook the name of the village "Hong Kong" for the whole island. When the foreigners eventually realized their mistake, the name "Hong Kong" was already commonly used to refer to the entire island.Thus in 1845, Aberdeen was named after the British Foreign Secretary, the Earl of Aberdeen.
Aberdeen is known indigenously as Heung Kong Tsai or Hong Kong Tsai, which means Hong Kong Minor. It is believed that Aberdeen is where the name of Hong Kong (more accurate transcription, Heung Kong) originates.
From here you can get SanPan rides, eat a mean in the Jumbo floating Resturant and expeariance the life of the Tanka (Boat People).
The Jumbo Kingdom consists of the Jumbo Floating Restaurant and the adjacent Tai Pak Floating Restaurant.
The Jumbo Kingdom was established in October 1976 by Dr. Stanley Ho after four years and over HK$30 million were spent to design and build it. It was originally decorated in the style of an ancient Chinese imperial palace.
In 2000, two tugboats brought one of the floating barges (Palace) from the Aberdeen Harbour to the mouth of the Manila Bay, and it was rebranded as the "Jumbo Kingdom Manila". Much of the original ancient Chinese imperial palace style renovation has been retained.
Aberdeen is a wonderful place to visit. More tall buildings mixed in with traditional Junks, Sanpans, Fishermen and food.
I took many random photos of the buildings. I have no idea what they are but they made an impression on me. I also discovered just how wide 24 mm on my lens was as the perspective of buildings was interesting, they were all leaning into the pictures.
