Greenock Christmas Lights


Another run to Greenock to get a few more images of the Christmas lights in Greenock.

Lucky with the weather as it started to rain as I was leaving.

Greenock Christmas Lights


Popped in to Greenock on my way home and was fortunate to catch the area fairly quiet. Also a bit windy though - just enough to move the lights in the breeze.

Still, no one said that life would be prefect.

Derelict Farm at Loch Thom


Through weather and personal circumstances both myself and my camera have been fairly idle of late.

But, enough is enough and today I head out in search of something - anything - to document with my camera in hand.

Light is fading fast as I've left things to the last minute, and it's not looking like I'm going to be rewarded with a sudden burst of golden light.

It's also a very bitter cold evening - so no comfort there either.

I happen across these old farm buildings - formerly Garvock's Farm.

Trudging my way through the mud I get a few shots in the bag, and I hope you enjoy them.

River Clyde This Morning


Popped down to Greenock this morning to catch the 'Grampian Falcon' as she headed on up to Port Glasgow.

A nice enough morning for this time of year and she duly arrived at the expected time.

Christmas Lights Switch On in Greenock


The Christmas Light Switch On took place in Greenock tonight.

The event began at 6pm in Clyde Square with free entertainment and a sizeable crowd gathered to enjoy.

At 7pm we were treated to the arrival of Santa - complete with his sledge and reindeer - accompanied by Provost Robert Moran.

And just to round off the evening the snow arrived right on que to put us even more in the festive mood.

Glasgow Colours at Night


I've been promising myself a trip to Glasgow at night for so long now, but it wasn't until this evening that I finally managed to get up there.

The city of Glasgow has so many iconic buildings and they take on a whole new form when floodlit at night.

Didn't have too long to spend so this will be the first of a few postings when I hopefully manage up again.
