Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

Seems like you can walk on this dock right into the sunset. A beautiful sunset on Key Largo in the Florida Keys.
I wanted to use this dock as a foreground element, yet still focus on the beautiful sky in this photo. What's nice about being in the Florida Keys is the views sometimes include small islands in the distance, adding to the scenic variety of this beautiful location.
As the sky is so expansive, I combined 3 exposures from my 6D and TS-E 17 tilt-shift lens using the shift function, without moving the camera at all. I am happy with the result. I hope this image makes you feel like you can be there. Enjoy!
Assuring that all is properly prepared prior to embarkation. Though she has looked, evaluated and considered the possibility, she has not made the decision to join me in the canoe. Probably a good thing. In the meantime she invariably accompanies me down for departure and appears a few hours later to greet me upon my return, apparently watching for my arrival. A heartwarming habit...
[Interesting that the Flickr tagmaster has difficulty differentiating between a cat and a dog, therefore adding both...;-))]
At Slievenacloy Nature Reserve.
Many of these small beetles noted on large dock leaves. Looks like this one has already enjoyed a nibble.
What could be more romantic than docking under the stars?
I love this dress by Belle Epoque from this round of We <3 Roleplay
A morning filled with fog and low clouds was the perfect pairing alongside the colorful sunrise.
During my post-processing, I wanted to keep this image in line with my editing style to achieve a consistent and clean photo.

This was taken back in '09 (even though flickr says otherwise) when I went to Europe with my school. This was at the docks in Veneto going to take the boat to Venice. The picture would have been better but I had a really bad camera :S
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke%27s_Dock
Duke's Dock[3][4] is a dock on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is in the southern dock system, connected to Salthouse Dock and Wapping Dock to the east. The Albert Dock is located immediately north, although not directly accessible by water.
History
The land for the dock was obtained in 1768.[5] Opening in 1773, Duke's Dock was built privately for the Duke of Bridgewater as a Liverpool-based facility for traffic using the Bridgewater Canal from Manchester.[6][7] The dock was probably designed by James Brindley, who also built the Bridgewater Canal.[2] The first dockside warehouse on the Mersey was built at the dock in 1783, and the dock was extended in the 1790s due to growth in the cotton industry.[2] In 1811, a large six-storey warehouse was built on the southern side of the dock.[5] Barges were able to enter the warehouse from the dock, and the building lasted until the 1960s.[5] In 1845, a small half-tide dock was constructed between Duke's Dock and the river and, at the opposite end of the dock, Wapping Basin was added in 1855.[5] The dock was purchased by the MD&HB in 1900, and the warehouses remained until 1960.[2] The dock had a southern branch which was filled in 1967, and warehouses were removed from the north and south quaysides.[5] The dock closed in 1972.[2]
After closure
After the closure of Duke's Dock, the dock silted up during the following decade and the quayside was in a state of considerable dereliction by 1980.[5] In 1980, disused buildings including one of the Liverpool Lighterage Company, a training school and a customs house still remained on the north quayside.[5]

In 1981, the Merseyside Development Corporation was established to rejuvenate the South Docks, and the dock was dredged between 1981-5.[8] The river entrance was filled in during the 1980s, and replaced with a permanent roadway leading to a large temporary car park on the site of King's Dock.[citation needed] Footbridges across the dock, leading from the King's Dock car park to the rejuvenated Albert Dock, were also installed at this time. The remaining buildings on the north quayside were also removed, to create permanent car parking space for the Albert Dock.[citation needed]
Present use
Direct river access to the west is no longer provided, with the only remains of the river entrance being markings on the dock wall. The dock is still accessible from Wapping Basin.
The water depth varies from around 6 ft (1.8 m) up to 20 ft (6.1 m). The dock is sometimes used by sport scuba divers. Its water is clear and it has much underwater sealife.[citation needed] The waterspace, of this and the other docks in the southern system, was owned by British Waterways from 2003 to 2012 and now transferred to the Canal & River Trust.[1] Water balling is now allowed on the dock.

As a kid I fished off these docks. Call me a scavenger just like the seaguls. My uncle would always have a fit as I'd be the one leaning over too far, or anxiious to get more fish than the rest. The sea has always given me peace. The sound, smell, and the change in the air is like a sedative. I could sit an be mezmorized for hours. :) HSS all!
