On an evening late last year, I ventured down to the sea front in my hometown to try and reduce the light pollution for some photographs of a clear and beautiful starry night sky. While my pictures of those didn’t come out so well, there are quite a few other things to photograph at an active seafront location. ^__^
This lit up crane is one of three that serve the Port Talbot Tidal Harbour, the first dry-bulk cargo terminal in the UK which could handle ships in excess of 100,000 tonnes deadweight. It was opened in 1970, and further works in 1996 to dredge the harbour increase the maximum size of ship it could handle to 180,000 tonnes deadweight, and that’s a big boat! As you can see by the light at the top, the crane doesn’t have any cargo to lift tonight, but lit like a giant industrial Christmas tree it remains.
Hope you enjoy!

Nope, southeastern Connecticut. The parent company moved out a dozen years ago and sold it to a bunch of minor competitors. Three plants are still in use; a latex facility, a plastic raw material shop and I think the Styrofoam plant is still in use. Everything else is flattened.
