Toward Point Coastal Battery

Popped up to see the remains of the Toward Point Coastal Battery  from World War 2.

Quite impressive that so much of the buildings still stand.

Inverclyde Council Fireworks

Tonight was the turn of Inverclyde Council to host their annual firework display.

The weather favoured us I'm pleased to say, dry and pleasantly not that cold for this time of year.

I haven't been to Greenock's display for a few years and was pleasantly surprised to see that this was an awesome effort.

Very pleased I made the trip down, and congratulations to Inverclyde Council on giving us such a great display.

Day in the Sunshine

Short walk near Coves Reservoir today yielded a few photos.

The remains of a Second World War gun emplacement are still visible.

  This was an anti-aircraft battery and part art of the Clyde AA Defences.

The battery was equipped with four gun emplacements

Met up with a couple walking their dogs and one - Tess - was Maya's double. Quite amazing to see them together.

The local families were happy to pose as they enjoyed the very warm sunshine today.

Final image was of a much cooler variety as the sun was setting.

Zippos Circus in Greenock

The circus came to town this week amid all this wonderful sunshine we're enjoying.

The days of a circus with many animal acts seems to have wained and only horses were on show. This has to be a good thing.

The horses appeared well treated and in fine health - a credit to those who look after them.

I had a quick walk round and these images are the result of my wanderings.
