Another view of the Humber Bridge from the ferry in the middle of the river. The sky is less dramatic than in the landscape version, but this shows more of the Humber.

Another view from Hull’s fantastic dockside rooftop path looking up-river to the Humber Bridge. Steps take the path down to road level at this point and it continued between road and river.

The large building just right of centre is I think the 1919 Grain Silo on King George V Dock and there are 2 ships in the dock visible to the right.

Today’s picture of Hull shows the dockside buildings along the south of Albert Dock. The light was I think just right on this occasion. This is from the steps where the footpath climbs up to go along the top of the next block of dockside buildings – I think there are 4 blocks like this one.

From a lower viewpoint you can see the boxes of fish on the platform under the canopy at the front of Block A.

My last post on the docks for a while, a picture taken as I walked over the swing bridge across Albert Dock entrance on my way back to the city centre. This is the the same bridge that my wife was trapped on for a while as she walked across pushing my younger son in a baby buggy – the warning lights had only come on after she had passed them and the bridge operator had not noticed her still walking across

You can see the new pictures each day at Hull Photos, and I also post them daily with the short comments above, edited slightly for this ‘omnibus’ edition, on Facebook.
