I had been told that the dock here had been replaced, so I wanted to see it. I had hoped that there would have been some fall colors, but I wasn't so lucky....oh well, I will have to go back, lol!

Anderson Dock with the Hardy Gallery. The building is covered with bright, colorful signatures and handprints by families, couples, and everyone in between. The dock is quite popular with couples who have marked important dates in their relationship like a first date or wedding anniversary. See the prvious post for a closeup of the graffiti.
Wanted to catch some sunset shots today but problem is I remembered too late. I went outside and saw the sun setting so I threw my gear into the car, raced down to the Everett waterfront and the overhead cloud cover was way too thick and the sunlight was pretty much gone. Luckily I did have my tripod gear with me so I was able to get some cool shots such as this.

I'm not the first to capture this image - and I'm sure I won't be the last... Gloucester Docks by night... I'm determined to capture this image when the water is perfectly flat and the reflection pin sharp... but for now, this is the best I've acheived to date...

A pair of Dock Bugs actually doing their thing on a Dock leaf!
The Dock Bug (Coreus marginatus) is a large and mottled reddish-brown squashbug with a broad, oval abdomen. The two small projections between the antennae are diagnostic.
There is one generation per year, adults mating and laying eggs in spring. The nymphs feed on dock and other related plants in the Polygonaceae; new adults may be found from August onwards. The Dock Bug is common and widepread in southern Britain, including Ireland, where it may be found in a variety of dry and damp habitats.
Liverpool
Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses. It was designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick. When it opened in 1846 it was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, stone and brick, with no structural wood. This resulted in it being the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world.
When it was built it was considered a revolutionary docking system as the ships were loaded and unloaded directly from and to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes. Because of its open but secure design it became a popular store for valuable goods, including brandy, tea, cotton, tobacco, silk, sugar and ivory.
Despite the docks advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology meant that within 50 years larger docks were required. It did however remain a store for cargo.
During the WWll it was requisitioned by the Admiralty. It served as a base for vessels of the British Atlantic Fleet. It was badly damaged during air raids on Liverpool, notably during the Blitz in May of 1941. After the war ended the financial problems of the owners and the decline of docking in the city meant that its future was uncertain. Many plans were put forward for the re-use of the buildings, nothing happened and in 1972 the dock was closed. It lay derelict for about ten years. Redevelopment started in 1981, when the Merseyside Development Corporation was set up, it was officially re-opened in 1984.
Today it is a tourist attraction, and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside London. It is part of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City. The complex and warehouses also comprise the largest single collection of Grade I listed buildings anywhere in the UK, many of which are bars, restaurants and shops.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
One of the first pictures that I took with my new Canon 15-85 lens (which I love so far). I took this shot probably 20-30 minutes after sunset. Probably one of my best shots to date.
Cacilhas, the small location where the ferryboats dock directly across from Lisbon, features some of the best restaurants specialised in fresh fish and seafood in the region. It is also a great place to sit in one of its several pavement cafés along the promenade while enjoying one of the best views of Lisbon, lying across the river.

2/2023 - Conneaut, OH
The P&C dock wasn't too far away and I had been wanting to see the north end of the B&LE/CN. I was surprised to find a ship here, but it turns out the Roger Blough has been laid up here out of service for a little bit now. Some silos and unloading mechanisms were recently torn down. The Roger Blough is an 858 ft ship built in 1972 that's currently down due to an engine room fire.
