Seafish

The sun sets behind the Seafish Industry Authority’s offices on St. Andrew’s Quay (East) in Hull. The north tower of the Humber bridge is just visible in the distance to the right of the building, above the derelict lock gates in the foreground.
The lock gates are at the entrance to the now silted-up St. Andrew’s Dock, which was the main trawler dock in Hull until it was decommissioned in 1975. This must once have been one of the busiest parts of the city, but most of the dockside buidings here are now decaying and overgrown. The site is now earmarked for regeneration.
I took this picture in December 2006 and it featured in the BBC Humber Photo Galleries for that month.

Another great image.
Spent a lot of time in Hull, a romantic encounter many years ago
& really came to love the place warts & all.
Enjoyed looking through your stuff.

Although I am not generally too intersted in art, I stumbled across this and found it very enjoyable to look through, enough that I thought I ought to say so!
