Down by the docks

Actually there aren't many docks here, or those bulky dock workers moving whatever needs to be moved onto ships. The only bulky people you'll see here are the builders making even more apartments for people to live in - and then again they use massive cranes and bulldozers and catterpillar things, so I guess they don't have to be as bulky - they just have to pull on those levers.

There are a range of interesting things at Docklands, and they are made even more interesting at night. I now realise that one good thing about winter getting dark early are the lights turning on at Docklands.

The darkness and the lighting give the sculptures and structures an ambigiouity. Is that really a bird, or a light? Straight lines or shadowy bends? Girl, or guy?

Just don't take a picture of that shady character that you walk past, or the camera might just be thrown into the water...
