You could feel sorry for the people who live here - the echoing noise from car tyres on the cobblestone roads is so loud.

I like to shoot the occasional bird... oops, that came out wrong. What I mean is I like to photograph the occasional bird of course. What I don't like is lugging around a 500mm lens and a tripod to capture them in their natural habitat. So why not stroll along a sunny London canal and find one that fills the frame at 75mm. Like this guy!
The dock was opened in 1852. It was named after the road it runs alongside and which also gave its name to the Wapping Tunnel.
The large brick warehouse built in 1856 along the eastern side of the dock was designed by Jesse Hartley. The building is of a similar architectural style to the warehouses surrounding the nearby Albert Dock. When originally built, it was 232 m (254 yd)long and consisted of five separate sections.Bombed in the May Blitz of 1941, the badly damaged southernmost section was not rebuilt, with only the supporting cast iron columns remaining in situ. The remainder of the building continued in commercial use, even after the dock closed in 1972. The warehouse was restored and converted into residential apartments in 1988 and is Grade II* listed.

The quiet streets of Wapping are only ever broken by the soft squeak of a bicycle peddling by, or the banter of two pedestrians strolling by.

This is a mono conversion of a previously posted image. I really can't say which I prefer. I'd been meaning to take pictures of the developments, this included, where once redundant docks provided a sad reminder of the way shallow water caused the south docks to be almost useless.

On 27th September 1997, USA ‘Yankee’ 0-6-0 tank 30075 working on Wapping Wharf during its visit from the Swanage Railway to the Bristol Harbour Railway. Although this type of locomotive was purchased by the Southern Railway and used at Southampton Docks, this example was built in Croatia in 1960, as a Class ‘S100’, but based on the 'USA' design. It was purchased in 1990, moved from Slovenia to the UK and received an extensive overhaul at the Swanage Railway. A major steam pipe failure in 1998 saw it withdrawn from service. Following time at the East Somerset Railway, and the Great Central Railway (Nottingham), it has now found a more permanent home with the North Dorset Railway Trust at Shillingstone Station, although it is proposed that it will be placed on short-term loan to various railways around the country.

tomorrow we are having a Sunday lunch here to celebrate Ben's 40th birthday. The years have passed by so quickly, I can't really believe this is happening! As Peter keeps saying - how come Ben is the same age as me!

Die ehemalige Zisterzienserabtei Bronnbach aus dem 12. Jahrhundert befindet sich idyllisch gelegen im Lieblichen Taubertal, nahe der großen Kreisstadt Wertheim. Das Kloster ist seit 1986 im Besitz des Main-Tauber-Kreises.https://www.kloster-bronnbach.de/Kloster.html
Der heilige Bernhard von Clairvaux zeigte während seines Aufenthalts in Wertheim auf seiner Pilgerreise eines Tages nach einer Wildnis des Taubertals und sprach: „Auch dort wird ein Kloster meines Ordens gegründet werden.“ Noch zu seinen Lebzeiten ging diese Weissagung des berühmten Abtes in Erfüllung, weil einige fränkische Edelleute beschlossen hatten, ein Zisterzienserkloster zu stiften. Als sie hierfür im stillen Taubertal einen geeigneten Platz suchten, erhoben sich plötzlich aus jener Gegend drei weiße Lerchen, ihr Morgenlied zwitschernd. Die Stifter erblickten hierin einen Fingerzeig Gottes und bauten an der so bezeichneten Stelle die Abtei Bronnbach. In das Wappen derselben wurde eine der Lerchen aufgenommen. Sie ruht auf den Händen des Jesuskindes, das auf dem Schoß seiner Mutter sitzt.https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Bronnbach
Liverpool has some of the greatest historical waterfront buildings in the world. The large brick warehouse in Wapping Quay was built in 1856, damaged in the Blitz in 1941 and converted to apartments in 1988.
Randomly came across prices for the apartments and they range from £150,000 - £350,000! Nice location just outside of the city centre but definitely out of my price range lol
