Kelburn Park - Parklee - Port Glasgow

Popped in to Kelburn Park on my home - intention was to get a few photos of the 'Question Mark' sculptures placed in the Clyde recently as a tribute to the recently deceased sculpture George Wyllie.

As the access road has been blocked to vehicle access I was left with more of a walk than anticipated, so I just took the time to get these images and will return another day to achieve my original goal.

Autumn Colour - Greenock Cemetery

The Greenock cemetery at South Street is a most beautiful place to spend some time meandering through the myriad of trees and paths.

Come autumn on a sunny day the beauty is there to behold.

It is also home to rabbits, foxes, and grey squirrels.

Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust - Open Day

 
 Today was the annual 'Open Day' at the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust.

It seemed busier than last year and a good selection of vintage buses on display.

There were also vintage lorries and other classic vehicles to be seen.

Not forgetting a hurl on the old buses as we were transported from George Square to the garage and back.

Lunderston Bay - Twilight

Hoping for a good bright sunset tonight I headed down to Lunderston Bay near Gourock.

The clouds didn't clear so it all looked a it mundane.

However, with my new "Lee Big Stopper" filter to try out I fired off a few test images by way of experimentation.

It'll take a bit of getting used too, but not too unhappy with the results in the way of something a bit different.

Time will tell - watch this space.

Langbank at Sunset

While taking these images I wasn't too enthralled and my expectations were duly set.

Images belatedly processed and I have to say I'm very pleased with the results.

Louds Island - Laying Up in Greenock

Container ship 'Louds Island' has berthed at the Great Harbour in Greenock.

She is laid up here due to a turn-down in work and will soon be joined by her sister ship.

I have here a series of images as she made her way up the channel and then berthed by the tugs.

Chemtrans Havel

A few images of 'Chemtrans Havel'- a small tanker - as she passed Greenock bound for Rothesay Dock.

The tug 'Bruiser' was assisting.

Light was changing by the minute.

Loch Ard at Nightfall

This was the final location of the day.

Drive to Loch Ard in an attempt to get some nice sunset shots. Sadly the weather wasn't going to give us a red blazing sunset, but nonetheless we were gifted with some nice subdued lighting on a fairly calm night.

Also with a bit of time in hand we managed to have a cup of hot soup followed by a Belgian hot chocolate. Life is good.

Achray Forest - Trossachs

Our second location of the day was the David Marshall Lodge in Achray Forest.

A part of the Trossachs, this is a wonderful area to visit with many paths and walks.

The waterfall is a magnet to photographers but there is much to be seen while walking.
