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.

PS Waverley - Lochranza Cruise

Today saw me drive to Glasgow and board the paddle steamer Waverley for the start of a cruise to Lochranza.

Weather was a bit chilly at the start and overcast. It was only at the start of the evening that we got a nice bit of sunshine.

Overall the cruise was very good and I am a big fan of the Waverley, seeing her as an icon of the Clyde in the summer months.

The edge was taken off with who I think was the chief engineer. It wasn't so much that he objected to appearing in one of my photographs, but the way way in which he both expressed and animated himself.

Wouldn't have minded but he was only a very small part of the photograph, and as the engine room is always busy and lots of photos being taken I couldn't really understand his issue with me.

Such is life, but it was very off putting on the day.

We returned to Glasgow as the summer sun was setting and gave the opportunity for some nice shots.

The ticket machine at the Science Centre suffered a malfunction so after a bit if a delay the staff finally agreed to open the barriers and let us all get on the road to our respective homes.

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.

"One Year Later" - Day Two Filming

Come another day, and we find ourselves around Glasgow for the second, and final day of filming.

Another early start with a hiccup as we try to get aboard the Glenlee for the first scenes of the day - soon resolved however.

Then across the city for some external and internal shots at St Andrews Square.

Finally, over to the south-side where we complete filming in a restaurant.

Wrapped about 20:30 - fond farewells and now it's over to the editing side for the film to be completed.
