The Docks at Night

Pictures and Captions

It had been a long time since I'd even picked up my camera. Things had been busy at work and home. However, I decided that I would go out and find something, anything to take a picture of. Being 9pm in the evening, and already completely dark outside, I was a little limited in my choices. I headed out of Southampton to Totton, and set up in a Park across from Southampton Docks.

Low tide finds three container ships being loaded up to take who-knows-what to who-knows-where.

A shopping trolley, visible only at low tide. You have to wonder how it got there, miles away from any supermarket.

Marchwood Incinerator, which burns rubbish and generates electricity, sits serenely across the water from Southampton. This is a new addition to the area, and was under construction in 2004 (below).
