taken in Clarence Dock, a fantastic development in Leeds just south of the river Ayre and next to the royal armouries. Formally a mill, it's a swanky flat complex these days

Since I don't have any ND filters, I was forced to reduce the aperture down all the way it would go for a longer exposure. Result? What you see above.. and dust bunnies galore. I need to buy some stuff to clean that thing.
And then I'm going to buy some ND filters.
(I never did end up buying any ND filters.)

These were the biggest European docks at that time. Their architecture is inspired by docks in St. Catherine of London and Liverpool. They were then able to store the goods from the port and then ship them by the railway. The industrial docks closed in 1988.

1856-66.
From May 1992 the docks were gradually restored. The architect Eric Castaldi was entrusted with their transformation into office buildings.
Docks are now rehabilitated in respect of a symbolic architecture. They are seats of private companies, civil services, administrative and cultural facilities.
There is also the Public Establishment Euroméditerranée.
Falmouth Docks

The development of Falmouth Docks began in 1858 and the foundation stone was laid by Viscount Falmouth in 1860 although the location of this stone is not known. The first ship to enter the docks arrived in 1861.
The Docks are currently managed and operated by A&P. At present Falmouth has three graving docks that provide up to 100,000 dwt dry dock capacity. There is a total wharfage with craneage and all other technical services, of 2.5km.
The docks are about to embark on an exciting phase of redevelopment that it is envisaged will include a world class 300 berth marina called Port Falmouth Marina. This will herald a new phase in the history of Falmouth Docks that will see new investment bringing benefits, not just for Falmouth, but the whole of Cornwall.
The regeneration plans include the provision of a new cruise liner terminal capable of accommodating the latest super cruisers. These plans are currently under assessment.
Our Falmouth port boasts one of the world’s largest natural deep-water harbours. Falmouth is the largest ship-repair complex in the UK with 3 large graving docks and extensive alongside deepwater berthing providing capacity for vessels up to 100,000 tonnes.
Offering onsite engineering, electrical, paint and fabrication workshops and links to all other specialist contractors and OEMs, these are integrated to provide a complete range of marine repair services to the customer.
As well as extensive workshop facilities across all disciplines Falmouth offers bunkering facilities, the ability to dock without gas-freeing, in-water surveys and propeller polishing.
Falmouth is a busy working port handling over 100,000T of product annually and with over 30 firms located in the docks providing a full range of services including towage, ship’s agency, area port health, diving services, local surveyors and tank washing.
Falmouth is used by 40,000+ cruise passengers annually who see Falmouth as the gateway to Cornwall. Partnerships Falmouth has many long-term shiprepair partners, including P&O, Grimaldi, Condor, Gardline, Euroships, Stena UK and the Ministry of Defence.
The Canning Graving Docks, Liverpool. Dating from 1765, these dry docks are where ships, including cargo and slave ships, had their hulls scraped clean of barnacles, a process known as graving. The barnacles would slow down a ships progress through the water.
In May 1966, a strike by seamen caused several cruise liners and other large ships to be stranded in Southampton. My family (I wasn't around then) were there on holiday, and my Dad took these photos. This is the Queen Mary.
These public conveniences were situated at the junction of Dock Road and Wood Street in Brompton. I'm unsure when the finally closed, but it might have been in the 1970s
Makes me remember of an emoticon, which, according to a good friend of mine, is just like me.

Strobist Info: The main light was an Alienbee B800 with a gridded beauty dish on the lowest power. It was set as close as possible to the right side of the table. With the grid, the light falls off rather sharply, and the left side was basically black due to a lack of ambient light. I then brought in an Alienbee B1600 in a PCB Octabank, but I left the octa collapsed. I just “fluffed” it a little to get the desired light output for fill. The B1600 was on mid power, as the folds in the octabank killed a lot of the output.
Camera settings were f4 at 1/30th to burn in the face of the phone. The app running is called Antique Clock Lite.

An ore dock is a large structure used for loading ore (typically from railway cars or ore jennies) onto ships, which then carry the ore to steelworks or to transshipment points. Most known ore docks were constructed near iron mines on the upper Great Lakes and served the lower Great Lakes. Ore docks still in existence are typically about 60 feet (18 m) wide, 80 feet (24 m) high, and vary from 900 feet (270 m) to 2,400 feet (730 m) in length. They are commonly constructed from wood, steel, reinforced concrete, or combinations of these materials.[1]
They are commonly used for loading bulk ore carriers with high mass, low-value ore, such as iron ore, in raw or taconite form.
Construction[edit]
Ore docks are typically long, high structures, with a railway track or tracks along the top and a number of "pockets" into which ore is unloaded from railcars, typically by gravity. Each pocket has a chute that can be lowered to discharge the ore into the hold of a ship berthed alongside. The use of pockets and chutes allows the dock itself to be loaded with ore before it is transferred into the freighter.[2]
The docks' storage bins or pockets are typically wider at the top than the bottom, and they lead to movable steel chutes. These chutes project out over the water at a slight angle from the sides of the docks. The hinged chutes, which are lowered to drop ore from the pockets into ships, are located at twelve-foot intervals over the length of the dock.
This spacing is not coincidental, as the docks and the lakers they could load evolved together, and laker hatch spacing is typically 12, or 24-foot (7.3 m) on center.
Many docks have been torn down or abandoned, but a few remain in operation. The Lake Superior & Ishpeming dock, one of the docks at Marquette, Michigan, recently loaded its 400 millionth ton of ore after 90 years of service.[7] The other dock, built later by Merritt-Chapman & Scott for the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway (DSS&A) was taken out of service in 1971. The largest dock of the type in the world exist in Superior, Wisconsin as part of BNSF's Allouez Taconite Facility, however, these docks have been abandoned since 1978. Two ore docks, one in Duluth, MN and one in Two Harbors, MN, are still in service and operated by Canadian National Railway. Ore docks are mentioned in popular culture, at least one high school athletic team, the Ashland, Wisconsin Oredockers takes their name from them,[8] and they have been mentioned in song.[9]
This area of the docks has been swept away for the BBC and wacky plastic coloured things, apart from the lone crane.
This crane was commissioned in 1926, and had a load of 175 tons, and one of it's jobs was was to lift locomotives from the Springburn works onto ships for export.
Some good old-fashioned fun took place at the Essex town dock on a hot, humid day in Summer as local kids jumped as if their lives depended on it into the warm waters of the Connecticut River.

Connected to the Severn Estuary by the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, the Gloucester Docks were, in the 19th century, a key trading centre. The railways, and, perhaps more importantly, the canal system provided trading routes to the growing centers in the midlands.
