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.

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.
This picturesque harbor is one of the most beautiful spots in the city, perfect for both residents and tourists alike. Located near the Grote Kerk, this harbor is filled with pleasure yachts and stretches from the Engelenburgerbrug to the Aardappelmarkt. At its center is the Lange IJzeren Brug, a charming cast-iron bridge that provides fantastic photo opportunities. It’s a true Instagram hotspot!
Dug in 1409, De Nieuwe Haven earned its name as the “new” harbor alongside the Voorstraat Haven. The Engelenburgerbrug is a movable bridge featuring an Art Nouveau-inspired design.
De Nieuwe Haven is surrounded by cozy terraces and excellent dining options. Nearby attractions include the Simon van Gijn Museum and Museum 40-45, as well as the Dordtse Rowing and Sailing Club.
Despite being centrally located, the harbor offers a peaceful atmosphere. Almost all amenities are within walking distance, making it a convenient and unique spot for mooring, open to both members and visitors.
The schooner Margaret Todd and the Tiger Shark ... the red one sunk back a season ago as I heard. Increased the ISO here to 1250 so the shutter speed could be reduced with the slight wave action, wanted a capture in this light with the boats not moving.
True friends see who we really are, hear our words and the feelings behind them, hold us in the safe harbor of their embrace, and accept us as we are.

Texture from Tota, thank you.
Yesterday's weather was brutal. Twenty-five mile an hour winds with the wind chill .... too darn cold! I've been feeling down without my camera in hand so I dragged Kipp out into the weather to see the sparrows. They seemed happy to sit in the sun yet many were in their cozy Lobster Traps.
This one was so happy to show off his best side:) I may spend the rest of the year photographing these darlings...
