Govan on the Clyde

Having completed the tour at Fairfields it was a short drive to catch the Govan Ferry across to the North of the river.

Keen to get some photos of the section of (HMS) Prince of Wales - the aircraft carrier currently  under construction.

The section will be moved by barge to Rosyth where it will be assembled with the other section being constructed.

Arranged to go down the river on a RHIB, and thankfully was blessed with a bit of sunshine.

Glasgow at Night

I saw 'HMS Duncan' late on Friday night all lit up at the Riverside Museum.

 I ventured up tonight to get a shot of her as she is unlikely to dock there again.

Sadly she stayed in darkness so plan B was to get some images from around the museum after sunset.

More than happy with my compensatory images I have to say.

Sunday's Adventures

A noon start as I headed across to Garelochhead safe in the knowledge that a Diesel locomotive was due to go through the station.

A little early on her arrival but fortunately so was I, so that worked out well.

Then up to Glasgow for a visit to the Riverside Museum and to the Glennlee Tall Ship exhibit.

A nice - fairly priced - bowl of soup aboard was very welcome and the service was friendly and efficient.

All in all, not a bad afternoon and now plenty of images to edit.

Vintage Buses - Riverside Museum

While visiting Riverside Museum this afternoon I was treated to a display of vintage buses.

This was part of the Glasgow West End Festival and some of the buses were running with passengers.

Seen her are a few from the static display.

Another wee trip around the Riverside Transport Museum.

Busy today due to it being a holiday.

Some nice entertainment from a jazz band kept the visitors feet tapping.

Final museum visit of the day, making this my third.

Second visit to Riverside and although it's fine for what it is, lacks atmosphere.

The green paintwork also looks rather sickly to me personally.
