I like taking shots of old derelict buildings like this one. It looks as though it used to be a hardware store. There was a construction crew working inside, and the parking lot has recently been blacktopped so I guess this building wont be derelict for too much longer.

Newlyn is England's biggest fishing port, but doesn't feel industrious. This is one of the smaller boats returning to the dock.

Dock Street, Middlesbrough. Water tower and clock tower, built c.1870 possibly designed by Philip Webb. Used as water tower for water accumulators or reservoirs for maintaining hydraulic pressure to dockside cranes and dock gates; also used as navigational aid on River Tees
South Dock in Rotherhithe, London. One of two surviving docks on this side of the river that were part of the network of Surrey Commercial Docks. Built 1807-11, timber and grain were the main produce imported and exported. It was badly damaged by bombing in World War II, but was repaired and revived. Eventually it's downfall came with the advent of containerisation in the 1960s with the ships too large to enter the dock. It closed in 1970. Now it has been regenerated with residential properties all around, and in 1994 reopened as London's largest marina.
Dock is such a beautiful colour and fascinating in its details. This flower was seen and photographed the day before yesterday, 21 August 2013, when a group of us visited Keith Logan's property again. Keith and his wife, Sandy, live on a 35-acre piece of land, NW of Cochrane. After enjoying seeing a lot of Keith's stunning photography and incredible woodwork, and enjoying coffee and the most delicious cheese scones and spicy scones straight out of the oven, we then walked on their land to record all flora and fauna seen. We all agree - if you sit in one of Keith's chairs, you'll see that no chair could ever be more comfortable - they are simply amazing! Thanks to Keith and his wife, Sandy, for such an enjoyable day!

"The docks and sorrels, genus Rumex L., are a genus of about 200 species of annual, biennial and perennial herbs in the buckwheat family Polygonaceae. Members of this family are very common perennial herbs growing mainly in the northern hemisphere, but various species have been introduced almost everywhere. Some are nuisance weeds (and are sometimes called dockweed or dock weed), but some are grown for their edible leaves.
The usually inconspicuous flowers are carried above the leaves in clusters. The fertile flowers are mostly hermaphrodite, or they may be functionally male or female. The flowers and seeds grow on long clusters at the top of a stalk emerging from the basal rosette; in many species the flowers are green, but in some (such as sheep's sorrel, Rumex acetosella) the flowers and their stems may be brick-red." From Wikipedia.
Two species of Rumex have been seen on the Logan's land - Garden Sorrel, Rumex acetosa, S4 (i.e. apparently secure), and Western Dock, Rumex aquaticus/occidentalis, R. (i.e. rare) - and I'm not sure which one is seen in my macro photo.
