Week 17 in 52 Weeks for Dogs. Tasku was just lying quietly and sensing my movements around the kitchen, still hoping for a morsel to come her way. I took the opportunity to grab my phone and get several shots. I had a few that I liked, but her paws sold this one to me for her project photo.
The eagle-eyed among you might spot fragments of paint in her fur, and clumsy attempt by me to cut it out; we had a decorator in this week and she felt the need to assist him. 😊

I didn't pick the best time of day as it all looks rather mucky when the tide is out. The sky was getting darker by the minute but it didn't actually rain.
The quay at Eling has been an active harbour going back many hundreds of years with tall-masted ships loading and unloading their goods since medieval times. Today the adjoining industrial wharf is still used for commercial cargo on a regular basis.
A tide mill has existed here for centuries, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book, it was built for milling the local flour, and is still producing today, one of a few such mills in Europe and is a favourite tourist attraction.
Next to the mill can be seen wharves where once shipbuilding thrived but is now owned by timber merchants and light industry, while Eling Creek is a popular place for the mooring of private boats. The Anchor Inn, which stands on the wharf, is a popular stop off for those sailing in Southampton Waters.
Of course, BlueStar introduced a brand new fleet of Enviros to the city last year too to upgrade routes 2 and 7. Here is one of that batch - 1752 - arriving in to Southampton.
