I did not understand what the problem was with the new dock but now that I see how much nicer it can be I understand.
Major Props and credit to:
Cork Docklands, Cork, Ireland. While in times past the Cork Dock yards were as significant part of the city's identity, in recent times it has fallen into dis-use resulting in many historic cork buildings lying derelict.
Burrard Dry Dock (originally Wallace Shipyards) was Western Canada's largest shipyard for over a century. They built a number of notable ships and supplied numerous World War II Victory ships for Canada's war effort.
They became Versatile Pacific during the 1980s before closing forever in 1992. It will become part of a major waterfront development that will feature the National Maritime Museum of the Pacific.
This dock is behind my grandma's Florida house (her neighbor's dock) and I was fortunate enough to catch a very nice clear evening outside just taking it all in.
I think the best part of long exposure pictures is that the photographer has a chance to take in the scene for him or herself instead of just "working" behind a camera the whole time. Sometimes it is very nice to just sit back and enjoy everything whilst it is in front of you.

Another trip to Malvern Flea Fair, the last of 2023.
Whenever we visit, we make for one of the sheds where there's usually a guy with assorted items spread out on a tarpaulin, divided into heaps priced at £1, £2, etc. I think they're the 'dog-ends' of house clearances, and there's usually a selection of sad-looking jigsaw puzzles. I've bought quite a few of these with varying degrees of success - some are complete, some have a piece or two missing, but they always provide a few hours' entertainment for very little outlay.
I bought two on Sunday, one at £1 (details to follow), and this approx. 90 yr old "Victory" of Southampton Docks for £2. Included is a leaflet with lots of information, but sadly there's a puzzle piece missing.
So yet again a couple of hours' pleasure, despite that missing piece.
Out and about during the recent snowy weather, I took this shot of the Thekla. Processed using Photomatix.
Clarence Dock is a shopping and leisure destination in central Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It also hosts a large residential population in waterside apartments, as well as a significant office presence.
Clarence Dock was developed as a £250 million mixed-use development between 2001 and 2007 and is located by the River Aire next to the Royal Armouries Museum which faces onto Armouries Square. Clarence Dock's main shopping street radiates southbound off Armouries Square and is called 'The Boulevard'. Another important focal point is 'The Anchorage' at the top of the dock itself. The whole development opened officially to the public in late 2007. The retail and leisure sector of the development was launched on Saturday 11 October 2008 with fashion shows from celebrity fashion consultant and TV presenter Gok Wan. Upon completion, Clarence Dock now attracts around 1.5 million visitors a year.[citation needed]
The Clarence Dock development scheme features Clarence House, a 218-foot (66 m) tower consisting of 227 apartments and six retail units. Upon completion in April 2007, it became the eighth tallest building in Leeds, it has however now been pushed to being the twelfth tallest building.
Clarence Dock also plays host to the Annual Waterfront Festival each June with Dragon Boat Racing, Stalls and other activities being centered around Armouries Square.
