The waning light of the mid-winter afternoon casts deep shadows on new housing around Albert Dock. Its land re-used for living and leisure. The lines of the image relate to the tracks that used to bring goods to and from the ships docked there. Although still a working port, a lot of the land has been given back to the ever-growing city of Edinburgh.

The duotone colour treatment serves to highlight the duality of this scene. Without demise of the industry that went before, people would not be able to call this dock home.
