Mining ship Erie Trader slowly rumbles under the Duluth Aerial Bridge.
It's something with the phone.
Spotted during a walk along the Trent & Mersey Canal at Willington, this Narrowboat Fender maker, had moored up his boat at Willington Wharf, and was selling an amazing array of Boat fenders and sundries.
Sibsey Trader Windmill is one of the few six-sailed mills remaining in England. The mill was built in 1877 by local millwrights Saundersons of Louth, in a typical Lincolnshire style, to replace a small post mill.
In its day it was the 'Rolls Royce' of windmills, being one of the very last to be built in Lincolnshire. It has been described as "one of the finest mills in the country with its slender tower and elaborate wrought iron balcony".
It is not exceptionally tall, containing only six floors above ground, and the height to the top of the cap is 74 feet 3 inches. The slenderness of the tower, and the flat landscape in which it stands, together create the impression that it is bigger than it actually is, and make the sails, already admittedly large, look enormous.
The mill worked until 1954 (although with only four sails in its later years) following which it was allowed to fall into disrepair. In the 1960’s it was earmarked by the then Ministry of Works as one of twelve windmills of national importance. In the early seventies, it and two other mills on the list were taken into the care of the Department of the Environment (successor to the Ministry of Works) and later that decade the restoration began.
It has now being restored to full working order.

Backlit images can be very tricky to get a balanced exposure, especially when shooting with no flash. But with careful control of settings, theres always a way around to shoot compelling portraits. Rim lights produced by backlit exposures is truly worth the effort, as seen in the image.

The Lisbon Trader, a general cargo ship from Monrovia Liberia, unloads a catamaran from it's deck, yacht in front was unloaded earlier. The ship is moored at Ogden Point docks in Victoria BC Canada. This is a common site here as boats usually made in Asia are delivered to local clients. I think part of the reason this is done is because the boats are probably cheaper to buy offshore. Follow the money...haha!

The Pelagos was tied up in Barcelona, don't know if she was taking on or taking off, didn't see any real activity around her at all.
This was shot from the roof of the Eurostar Grand Marina, the hotel we stayed at in Barcelona.
Trader Joe was sitting on the wrong end of the platform but there was method to his madness. This way he could keep a watchful eye on the Blue Jays trying to get in on the action.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all know that I appreciate your comments, faves, visits and such. If I don't get to answer you all please know that I am busy either looking at your photos or with life in general.
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral is a Greek Orthodox parish and center for Greek-American life in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Its noted Neo-Byzantine church is located at 36 North Pinellas Avenue.
St. Nicholas hosts an annual Epiphany celebration on January 6, in which Greek Orthodox boys aged 16 to 18 dive into Spring Bayou to retrieve a white wooden cross, said to bring the finder good luck for the year. It is the largest such event in the Western Hemisphere, with thousands in attendance. A statue of an epiphany diver is located in front of the church.

The domed main church building, designed by the Eugene Brothers of Chicago, was completed in 1943. Modeled in part after the Hagia Sophia in what is now Istanbul, it melds Byzantine and Gothic Revival styles. It is a local landmark that has been featured on postcards.
Noted features include 23 stained glass windows surrounding the dome depicting episodes in the life of Jesus and the saints, hand-painted by Joseph V. Llorens of Atlanta, and the sixty ton altar, made of Pentelic marble. Within the dome are three large chandeliers imported from Czechoslovakia. The altar was originally part of the Greek exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair. It, along with the cathedra, choir stalls, and other components were obtained with help from George Frantzis.[7] A new altar of Carrara marble was installed in 1965.
The interior is richly decorated with icons, many by Greek iconographer George Saklaridis. Forty-one icons, sponsored by various members of the parish, were delivered in 1952, with more added in subsequent years. On December 4, 1969, the icon of Saint Nicholas was observed to have drops of moisture, and some consider it a Weeping Icon.
The community traces its history to John Cocoris, a native of Leonidio in Arcadia, Greece, who settled in the area in 1896 and became a prosperous sponge diver and trader. The trade attracted Greek immigrants as well as Greeks from other parts of the U.S. By 1907, the population was large enough to support a Greek Orthodox church, a project put under the supervision of Nicholas Peppas, a native of Aegina. The first church, completed that year at a cost of $300 for the land and $3,500 for construction, was a wood frame structure painted white. Rev. Stamatis Koutouzis was appointed the first parish priest. The parish added a school in 1925.
By 1935, the parish had outgrown the first church and began raising funds toward the current structure. Construction began in 1941 and was completed in 1943 when it was consecrated by Archbishop Athenagoras (later Patriarch) at Epiphany. St. Nicholas was by then a significant center of community life as well, with major festivals surrounding Epiphany, Greek Independence Day, and Orthodox Easter. Honoring this, in 1975, the Tarpon Springs Board of Commissioners passed a resolution designating the city the "Epiphany City" of the United States.
St. Nicholas was elevated to cathedral status for West Florida on On January 6, 1976.
