As I mentioned in my previous post, the ship channel was quite busy. Of course I took pictures. I love watching the ships come into the channel to reach the ports o' call [Ingleside or Corpus]. I will just share what I saw the short time I was there, without much further chit chat...
The one image with the huge scooping machine is where they are in the process of repairing a broken jetty from Hurricane Harvey...three years ago!! I also took a few zoomed-in photos too [The first top left image is where they turn the ship into the channel from being anchored at sea waiting for their 'turn' to enter...and the last one in the series below, the ships travel within a few yards of some residential homes!]...
Can't imagine looking out my front window and seeing one of those ships passing by. There sure is a lot to see there. I wouldn't mind hanging out and watching it all.
ReplyDeleteThe ship watching, for me, is one of the highlights.
DeleteYour photos are breathtaking, Anni. Like Ann's comment above, I can't imagine looking out my front window and seeing one of those ships either. I hope those folks realize how blessed they are! ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer to live on the OTHER side of the channel...in the lighthouse!
DeleteIn the lighthouse, YES!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI just love the dolphins, I could watch them all day! Great photos! Take care! Have a happy new week!
Me too! I get excited when the ships come in/go out while I'm there...that means dolphins usually.
DeleteWOW, how amazing would that be...to look out of my window and see one of those gigantic ships passing by!!😮
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your photos of those beautiful dolphins too😊😊
Thank you so much for this wonderful post, Anni...I really enjoyed!!

ReplyDeleteRemember the super tanker that came in to port? Now, THAT was a huge ship!
DeleteGreat captures Anni and of course I absolutely love seeing the dolphin!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm in that area, I look forward to seeing dolphins.
DeleteWhat a treat to see all of those huge ships and the dolphins at play!
ReplyDeleteIt truly is!
Deletei always love your dolphins and wish that i could see them myself. that would be quite to thing to see in a view from my own home... if you lived there you could be come MADsnapper 2
ReplyDeleteBud & I were just talking about the olden days of film...I would be in the poor house developing photos!
DeleteThe scale of those ships is almost incomprehensible. They're just so massive.
ReplyDeleteThey are.
DeleteYou captured some mighty goings-on! Happy ones too with the leaping dolphins.
ReplyDeleteThose dolphins create a variety show each time!
DeleteHow Cool Is That - Excellent Timing - Well Done
ReplyDeleteCheers
Thanks!!
DeleteWhat an amazing sight out their front windows. Never a dull moment. Thanks for my dolphin fix. My favorite sea creature.
ReplyDeleteFor me too...and sea turtles!
DeleteAmazing seeing all those dolphins so full of joy.
ReplyDeleteI think I would find that place fascinating watching all the ships going in and out.
Lovely photos.

It's fun & cheap entertainment.
DeleteThe water looks so real I half way expected a wave to come thru the monitor.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Such amazing action shots of the dolphins too.

Thanks St. C
DeleteWhat great timing to capture these dolphins leaping in the air! Splendid shots! I always love seeing ships enter the harbor here.
ReplyDeletePractice, practice, practice. lol
DeleteI would be so fascinated seeing those big ships.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good pastime!
DeleteThe dolphins are so friendly and playful! I hope the machinery leaves them alone.
ReplyDeleteThe dolphins are used to all the activity, I think they're safe...so intelligent
DeleteI would love to watch them...a different kind of enjoyment to birds, but enjoyment nevertheless.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely
DeleteMust be nice to watch the ships and I'd love watching the dolphins.
ReplyDeleteThe bigger the ship, the more exciting. (For me anyway)
DeleteI love seeing the dolphins - they always seem so happy!
ReplyDeleteThey do, don't they?
DeleteWow! There's so much going on there. Our little town is pretty sleepy.
ReplyDeleteA quiet place to live is good! IMHO
