Myths and Legends Firework Display

Tonight was the firework display forming part of Inverclyde's 'Myths and Legends' event.

This is the fifth year of the event, and sadly it had less content than last year and there seems a decline in enthusiasm and imagination.

The event has declined each year with the first year by far the best so far.

Luminous Orange Departs

 The bulk carrier - Luminous Orange - departed this evening.

Light was failing fast so a high ISO setting. Then it rained.

To make the misery complete, the wash from the lead tug rose higher than I anticipated and some of my gear was submerged - thankfully nothing too expensive.

All rinsed off when I got home, so fingers crossed no lasting effects.

River Clyde - Upper Reaches

A cold and windy afternoon - but keen to get a few images for the day.

So, a run over to Clydebank gave me these opportunities.
