The top viewpoint is from inside the harbour looking back out towards the open sea,

and the lower image is looking along the quay from the opposite end.

Sailing on a wine dark, open sea.

I wonder if this was the colour Paul McCartney had in mind

in his song of the same name?

Strolling in a modern 'Cloister'

Cloister  - A covered walk in a convent, monastery, college, or cathedral, typically with a colonnade open to a quadrangle on one side.

There is still a little Autumn colour on a rainy day.

Old and New

This ancient crane on the cobbled quayside, with its deep set rail track,
