Thank you, William.

New ? I guess that a relative word.. I remember it with the Shell oil tankers 50 years ago.. but it has been enlarged

And the Shell refinery built during WW1 and all the oil pipework have been long gone.
According to Wiki the area is historically known as Shellhaven and "the first edition Ordnance Survey map of the early 19th century shows Oil Mill Farm a mile or so up Shell Haven Creek". There are many relatives associated with the site ;-)

That is why I did know it... family friend was a supervisor and early tech at Shellhaven... time passes... seems like yesterday....

My! how it's all changed down there.

Being on your doorstep (almost), I would have thought you'd have noticed by now ;-)

A really sharp and clean image Neil.............I love all the lines and angles and I can see what Jean means about table and chairs. The cranes are quite elegant looking from a distance.

Thank you, Keith. I thought that the cranes made super silhouettes against the lighter sky and many of my fellow passengers were oohing and aahing as we passed them.

This is a great shot Neil.

Thanks a lot for that, Jeff.

I admit to a certain weakness for cranes, big container ships are also interesting to see.!

I'm wondering which of the two you would prefer for a Christmas present, Gudrun ;-)

I have to be impressed by the scale of the cranes!
