Liverpool
Coburg Dock on the River Mersey, is part of the Port of Liverpool, being part of the southern dock system, with Queens Dock to the north and Brunswick Dock to the south.
The dock was named in 1840, in honour of Prince Albert. It had a 70 ft wide river entrance. It was enlarged 1858 and again in 1902. The river entrance eventually fell into disuse and was sealed up. The dock was used as a repair berth and for grain discharge, housing a 63,000 ton capacity grain silo. The dock itself fell into disuse and closed in 1972. In 1986 the grain silo was demolished.
This and the other docks in the southern system used to be owned by British Waterways, but ownership transferred to the Canal & River Trust, who still own it. Now regenerated part of the dock is set aside for moorings within Liverpool Marina. Mariner's Wharf, on the north quayside was built between 1989-97.

Fotografía tomada en los muelles del puerto palafítico de Carrasqueira (Portugal).
Una de las tomas más complicadas que he realizado en bastante tiempo, tanto por la ejecución (las tablas bailan y el viento era realmente fuerte ese día, además del paso de algunas personas cerca) como por el procesado.
Para esta toma se han fusionado seis imágenes, cuatro de 30 segundos para la zona del agua y dos para el cielo con el fin de recuperar la sunstar (real) que se filtró muy hacia abajo..dándole más interés a la fotografía pero complicando sobremanera el blending.
Primera foto de una serie de 5 o 6 que sacaré de este lugar, aunque no todas seguidas ;)
Fotografía realizada con nikon d800e y tamron 15-30mm 2.8.
Filtros creo que llevaba puestos uno de 10 pasos y otro de 3 (full), polarizadores o degradados no uso.

Picture taken in the old fisherman´s docks in Carrasqueira Portugal.
I drove near six hours to enjoy the sunset at this incredible location.
One of the most difficult pictures I have done and proccessed in this months... The dock is not very stable an there was people arouend, and too much wind.
Six pictures merged...4 for the sea and two for the sky in order to recover the incredible sunstar I got!

This photograph is one of the most historic and iconic photos I have had the pleasure of shooting. This dry (Graving) dock has always fascinated me as I have travelled through Greenock on the banks of the Firth of Clyde and I have done a little bit of digging to find out some information about it.
This is believed to be the oldest surviving dry dock in Scotland dating from the 1820's. It is also known amongst locals in Greenock as the Submarine Dock. Sadly it has been left to fall into a state of disrepair, The dock was last used in 1984 when the ship HMS Warrior went in for repairs.

I decided to swap the early morning for a late night out on Friday. A nice little loop around the back of Eastham Oil Refinery :)
I couldn't resist a little wander around Eastham Docks Substation and the eeriness of the place at night made for a good stop for a photo.
We saw several large pods of dolphins in the Chesapeake Bay last week. Composite of dolphins from the bay and the dock area.

It's really Dock 9, but this gives the best viewpoint with that glorious sunset behind the BBC buildings that never seems to materialise whenever I go there. The '9' is embossed with anecdotes and witticisms from people who use to work in Salford Docks long before it became the media centre of the north.
At least I've bagged another of my planned shots for my "batter the Quays" project... only another 34 to go!

There is a quality to the light in Cape Cod that amplifies the minimal spareness of the landscape. A stunning contrast to the riot of fall colour inland.
This incident appeared to involve a slow moving train of empty ore cars being pulled off Dock 6 and resulted in a delicate re-railing effort as the cars were over Interstate 35.

The docks at Squamish are brimming with activity today as workers load coiled steel and rail into gondolas and modified flat cars, and CN Local train 546 spots boxcars loaded with pulp into SQ63. The sun has set a good bit ago and the night scene with the semi-street running operation makes a nice scene for the 21 year old C44-9W, that has become a little scarce on CN since their mass AC44 rebuild program.
