Even with the 10mm ... needed two captures there to get the wide view I wanted with the crane completely in the frame plus the floating dock. This is a stitch of two captures to the wide view I envisioned standing there.
A great evening to be there in Baltimore along the harbor areas.
Lady Maryland and Sigsbee docked at the Frederick Douglass- Isaac Myers pier in Fells Point, Baltimore Harbor.
Split, Croatia, view of the harbor after a departing rainstorm on a spring afternoon, the low light image was taken from the balcony of my apartment, the others from sea level earlier in the afternoon. Happy weekend to everyone.
Early morning along the Columbia River.
I will be away for a several days, taking my first flight since the start of Covid. See you the middle of next week.
Some fond memories in the past...seeing a Flickr friend posted many photos taken in Barcelona that reminded me of mine. I'd say Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, esp. with all the Gaudi's buildings there. He was one of the best architects, a genius, in my opinion.
In the picturesque harbor area next to the Groothoofd, Kuipershaven, Wolwevershaven and the Merwekade, dozens of steam-powered ships, machines and vehicles will be on view.
Steamboats will be making round trips on the river. For children, miniature steam trains will be operating. Various (steam)ships will be open for visitors. Sidewalk cafes and live music will provide a sparkling atmosphere. In the Wolweversharborarea ships and facades will be magical highlighted.
Dordrecht has harbours, but no canals. The Voorstraats- harbour forms the backbone of the old city. Graceful bridges connect the Voorstraat and the Wijnstraat, streets that lie on either side of the water. To effectively handle trade, the Nieuwe Haven (1410) and the Wolwevers-harbour (1609) were created, followed later by the Maartensgat and the Kalk- harbour. The unchanged attractive harbour quarter with its warehouses, merchants' mansions, quays and - now - pleasure boats is found between the Grote Kerk and Groothoofd.
This is a small fishing village about an hour away from Valletta, the capital. I rode on a local bus, absorbing the wonderful ambience of the Maltese people.

Harbor seals, Phocidae family, also called “common” or “hair” seals by some locals. They are covered with short, stiff, bristle-like hair. Coloration varies, but two basic patterns occur: light gray sides and belly with dark blotches or spots, or a dark background with light rings. They can be distinguished from other pinnipeds, such as fur seals and sea lions, by the absence of external ear flaps; only a small hole (the external pinnae, or opening to the ear canal) is visible on either side of their head. Harbor seals are mammals and therefore breathe air, but they are well adapted to life in the ocean.
The first white settlers to Alaska in the 1700s established a massive fur trade based on the pelts of harbor seals and nearly wiped them out completely, but since the Marine Mammal Protection Act, their numbers have rebounded and are now estimated at between 200,000-300,000.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! I prefer to post a new image every other week when possible, but chose to post this shot one week after the last, to promote a very important message.
A mammogram + early detection can help save a woman’s life. Be educated about fighting breast cancer, and please share the message.
I love long exposure photography. The effects intrigue me, and even though I plan to capture a specific look with each shot, the resulting image often surprises me.
What I attempt to convey using this technique, is the surreal, but not unreal. An image that represents light and color detail in almost every part of the recorded scene.
