Greenock

After my trip up to Glasgow it was down to Greenock for a Chinese carry-out.

Couldn't resist the temptation to get a few images along the way.

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.

Glasgow West End Festival

Decided to give this a try as hadn't been before.

Came across more like a 'street party' but lots of enthusiasm from all those taking part.

I didn't stay too long but here's a few images of some of the events.

She was then expertly berthed by the Svitzer tugs.

Stella Ada - Tugs at Work

An early start as I arose at 03:39 to dress, breakfast, pop in to Tesco to pick up some buns, then head to the James Watt Dock where the Svitzer tug 'Anglegarth' awaited my arrival.

Safely aboard we proceeded down river to Hunterston and I was hopeful the weather may improve and we get some better light.

Sadly this wasn't to be as it stayed very dull and the rain persisted in hanging around just enough to catch the camera lens.

This is the first Blog from today and more will follow.

A big thanks go to the Svitzer personnel (you know who you are) who made this trip possible, and who went out of their way to make me part of the crew for the day, and to set me up for my shots.
