Trip into Hull today for a meet up at Geek HQ (in my old work building).
Both the River Humber (on the right) and the River Hull (flowing into it) are very muddy.
Probably my best picture of Hull Pier

Technically flawed no doubt, but it was hand held however I hope it gives the flavour of the Waltzers still my favourite fairground ride When I was much younger I worked on the Waltzers one year taking the money and spinning those cars to the sound of the Stones, it felt pretty cool in 1969.
A sample from the lyrics to the song “ Some Old Salty “ by the late and very great songwriter Lal Waterson the song is about Hull in the fifties. A salty is slang for a sailor
Some old salty, how he used to rock me.
Jelly roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me.
Hull Fair waltzers, bopping to Brenda Lee.
River boat jazz cruise, jiving to the Two-Nineteen.
Some old salty, how he used to rock me.
Jelly roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me.
Down there for dancing, come on Mr Chester please.
Play "Deliah's gone" for one more round, some old Salty's on his feet.

Yesterday did not work out as planned I was expecting to travel to Scarborough to do a piece of work but this fell through at the last minute. Mary had the car so I travelled into Hull by bus and had a walk round the Marina, which is right in the heart of the city. It was one of those cold but very bright still days perfect for taking a few shots. I used the little point and shoot camera
The Marina as I say is right in the centre Hull obviously now its used by small leisure boats. However when I was a kid the Marina was a fully functioning Dock and when my mother took me into the town I used to love to see the dock workers unloading timber from Russian and Scandinavian ports. It seemed so exciting and exotic in the days when foreign travel was just a dream
The map on Flickr is useless I was just putting my photo on the map to discover that the Marina seems to be dry land LOL

tonemapped with photomatix. I've deliberately tried to stay away from this kind of processing, not because I dislike it but because I do like it! I went through a phase of processing every image the same because I liked it too much! I think whoever said variety is the spice of life was right :o) well this is the city hall in Hull. what do you think?
