Quayside Tank Tops

The Kennet and Avon Canal at Aldermaston Wharf in West Berkshire. Beautifully peaceful now but once this was a hive of industry. After the completion of the canal in 1810, trade and commerce increased and a community grew up here which included all-important carpenters who serviced the locks and bridges. The Wharf would have seen exports of timber and agricultural produce and the import of coal, groceries and manufactured goods. However, with the coming of the railway canal trade declined.

Tenby Harbour Quay, Pembrokeshire, Wales A zoomed in photograph of Tenby Harbour Quay, showing all the beautiful houses that overlook this iconic harbour in South Wales, UK. Tenby (Welsh: Dinbych-y-pysgod, lit. 'fortlet of the fish') is both a walled seaside town in Pembrokeshire, Wales, on the western side of Carmarthen Bay, and a local government community. Notable features include 2+1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) of sandy beaches and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, the 13th century medieval town walls.

Seen here as a digital coloured pencil drawing is Tobermory, capital of the Isle of Mull in Scotland's Inner Hebrides, This colourful and picturesque town is on the east coast of Mishnish, the most northerly part of the island close to the entrance to the Sound of Mull. It began life as a fishing port in 1788 and was apparently based on designs by the noted engineer Thomas Telford. The quayside is busy with fishing and leisure boats and is also home to the Tobermory Distillery.

December sunrise on the River Blyth in Northumberland on the North East coast of England with the light from the golden sky silhouetting the seagulls and the Tall Ship Williams II as the sun rises.

The Kennet and Avon Canal at Aldermaston Wharf in West Berkshire. Beautifully peaceful now with a visitors' centre and teashop but once this was a hive of industry! The scene would have been busy with the wide Kennet boats loading and unloading their cargoes of farm goods, coal, building stone etc. Here were also the carpenters so necessary for maintaining the locks and bridges as well as forges for shoeing the boats' horses. Now a boat yard services leisure craft.

The Ketch rigged Tall Ship William II started life as the Haabet, built in Denmark in 1914. The ship is now berthed at Blyth in Northumberland for restoration prior to re-tracing the voyage of another Blyth built ship which was the first to discover land in Antarctica. The image has been given an antique plate filter in keeping with its vintage.

Lovely warm winter sunrise after the coldest night of the year so far with a golden glow to the sky and frost on the slippery quayside. The image features the silhouetted tall ship Williams II which is being restored to recreate an epic voyage to Antarctica when a Blyth born sea captain discovered the land mass in 1820. The whole image has been given an artistic filter for something just that little bit different.

A view over the port of Stavanger in southwestern Norway. It is the fourth largest city in the country and has a history stretching back to medieval times. Starting life as a village it grew into a fishing port. It was the discovery of offshore oil and gas that made it grow into the major port it is today. The old town and its harbour has old, colourful houses and quayside buildings, the city itself having an eclectic mix of old and new, This image has been finished as coloured pencil art.

Sailing out of Portsmouth Harbour and passing the Royal Naval Dockyard where a Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker is moored. Portsmouth has been an important harbour for years - an ideal place for warships from Medieval times. The first Royal Navy was formed by Henry VIII although the first properly organised RN was started by Charles II in the late 1600s when he inherited a large fleet! However, Portsmouth is also an important Merchant Navy port and ferry terminal with many cruises starting here.
