A view from the top of the Science Park building of Thompson Graving Dock, where Titanic was last dry docked before her fateful journey. The photograph doesn't do justice to the size of the dock.
With Belfast City Hall's exhibition over Easter, I'd thought I'd look back over my photos for any hidden gems.

Just to keep things interesting... we move from the desert of southern Utah to an opposite extreme - an island in the midst of Lake Huron known as Mackinac. Three weeks after getting back from the Beehive State, I was at the far end of the Great Lakes State.
My gig on the island combined with the rain only left me part of an afternoon to photowalk it around the place - but it did not disappoint...
Lions Beach, Kearney, ON.

Britain's most inland port is Gloucester docks, located at the northern junction of the River Severn with the Gloucester and Sharpness canal. The docks were formed when the canal from Sharpness opened in 1827 bypassing a difficult stretch of the Severn.
The docks is a conservation area and the Grade II listed warehouses have been renovated to create flats, offices, bars and restaurants. The dock area includes the National Waterways Museum and the Soldiers of Gloucester Museum.

The short lived graving dock at the western end of Penarth Docks under construction. It disapeared when the dock was extended.
Also on 9 June 2010, we see 153377 at Falmouth Docks on the 1520 to Truro. This view is no longer possible owing to a new development next to the station.
Completed in 1852 at a staggering 309ft, the purpose of the Grimsby Dock Tower was to provide hydraulic power to the lock gates and cranes of Grimsby Docks. It contained a 30,000 gallon hydraulic wrought iron reservoir at a height of 200 feet to supply the pressure required.
The bricks from which the building is constructed were manufactured on the site and the clay dug from local marshes. At the time of its construction it was the highest building in Lincolnshire and the tallest brick-built building in the country.
And no, it's not in use today. Seemly the cost of demolition is pretty much all that's keeping it upright.
Lovely blue hour shot down in Noank again. There was such a lovely sky, I barely edited this. It's amazing how dark and black this looked to my eyes, but the camera sees all this color that we don't!

I'm the lock keeper at St. Katharines - and I was on duty that day! The barge 'Leonie' at that time was owned by David Suchet (Poirot); you can see him on board wearing the grey flat cap.
He has since sold the boat - in fact, I think that was the day the boat left us to go to its new owner."
Thanks for your input Jon.
