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.
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.
Photos of sunset over the Carquinez Strait east of San Francisco Bay and includes 3 ships coming and going under the Martinez-Benicia Bridge. Sorry for bad photo quality on some of the pics, I had the unfortunate combination of high winds which caused the waves to rock the dock I was on, and the growing darkness, all which made taking the photos difficult. It was however a stroke of luck to have been there to catch the inbound oil tanker vessel 'Overseas Martinez' being escorted by two tugboats as I stood on the dock at the marina in the city of Martinez. At the same time, another oil tanker (red in color) was passing westbound under the bridge. This set of images were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T3i, there is another album of the same scene using a Canon Powershot camera that includes a few video clips. As always, all of your views are very much appreciated, Thank You.

The dock looks empty without the 100 seater and there's a lot more evening light on east side of the works!
Hebden Bridge delicacy: dock pudding (which is made from common bistort, not dock leaves). It tastes fantastic.
