A couple of pics I took on my travels.

River Blackwater at dawn:





Part of an old pump house at Chatham docks:



A derelict dockyard crane:



The River Medway at night looking south from Chatham Docks:
It is a little blurry as it was a long exposure and I didn't have a proper tripod with me, but I like how the colours came out.

Really like that last one. Like you say the colours from the lights have come out very nicely.

From the tranquility to the hurly burly of 18' Skiffs at Datchet Water this weekend

@ tankslapper - takes a certain amount of skill to make Chatham look nice!

My gf's mum keeps her saling boat in Chatham Marina so spend o a lot of time down there, in fact I think that pump house you have pictured is the one right next to the Marina car park.

Yes, that's the one.

Chatham town isn't the best, but there is loads of interesting historical stuff around there, and arriving by boat means you can avoid most of the dodgy parts.
