Cloudscape

iPhoneXS shot of Victoria Harbour with the Bolte Bridge "goal posts" in the background. After a few cold days (10-13 deg C) with no wind today is warmer (15-17 deg C) with a light breeze. This view is looking west south west from Harbour Esplanade, Docklands, Victoria, Australia. The white capped piers are the remnant of warehouses that used to used for handling goods coming into what was known as Port Melbourne. With the introduction of container ships, the port was not deep enough and the larger ships went to other docks provided for their size.

Thanks for your view, comments and favs for "Glorious sky". Greatly appreciated.

Grateful for all blessings.
Can't help wondering about these little capped posts......they are too close together to be for mooring. Do they have a purpose or purely decorative? I see Bolte Bridge in the background, distinctive design!

Nice capture!

I would rather have said pier pole scape, haha, than cloudscape because they attract the eyes to them immediately one sees your post. A beautifully composed picture and the clouds seem ready to pour more rain.

@casablanca The white capped piers are the remnant of warehouses that used to used for handling goods coming into what was known as Port Melbourne. With the introduction of container ships, the port was not deep enough and the larger ships went to other docks provided for their size.
