There are a lot of mountain and water and cloud pictures here. Basically the docks are a system of loading ore, which contains about a quarter-million dollars worth of gold, silver, platinum etc per big bag (you could probably put about two of these bags in the back of a pickup truck). The ore is loaded into the holds of massive ships which take it to be refined in Japan, in one of a handful of places where the very complicated and specialized procedure can take place. The metals are present only on the molecular level, so there's no way of extracting them without these kinds of specialized systems, and that's why it's all shipped to Japan.
AW says "On a sunny day in August....Dock Tarn is a place to lie adreaming, and life seems a sweet sweet thing." It is still a lovely place on a bitterly cold January day.

运气不太好。大早起来还在下雨。但是临了的时候居然已经有一阵阵的阳光南方多变的云雨在云南真是淋漓尽致与其说我喜欢拍云南的复杂多变的云不如说云南复杂多变的云让我喜欢上拍云这是一个很有意思的事情。一成不变的东西总是很快让人失去兴致。总是要变化的，要么从自己，要么从对方。Flickr上有个群组的名字很有意思，叫CloudPorn。很是直接而精确。 来自http://sadgen627.diandian.com/post/2013-11-04/40058239730

This was the first dock dogs competition I had the honour of seeing...had fun taking photos.
Challenged with getting these dogs in focus...especially since my camera has a VERY slow focus time. Found my best results with manual focus, and pre 'guessing' how far away I thought the dogs might be...lol.
Late autumn and still not cold this afternoon, walking from Sharpness to Purton. We spotted a heron on the river and were greeted by a glorious sunset on our return.
