A Stroll Around Glasgow
A trip in to Glasgow today to have the sensor cleaned on my Canon camera.
As it takes a few hours I strolled around parts of the city.
As always I find Glasgow a friendly place and easy to engage in conversation with many of the people.
Below are a few of the images from the day.

Inchinnan Bascule Bridge
Hearing that a barge was to go up the River Cart I headed to Renfrew.
My expectations were that the Inchinnan Bascule Bridge would open to allow the barge to transit, but not all went to plan.
Unsure why, but the move was deferred.
I carried on up to Braehead to catch a shot of the Dutch tug that brought the barge to our waters.
I also took a few of the bridge itself. I've crossed this bridge so many times in my car but never stopped to get a few images, so this at least made my trip worthwhile.

A Few Days
This entry covers yesterday and today.
Firstly a few images from yesterday.
Tonight I managed to catch one of the Joint Warrior exercise ships as she departed to sea from Glasgow.
Glorious sunshine - but still cold.
HNLMS Luymes is Dutch and a Hydrographic Survey Vessel.

Joint Warrior Exercise - Departures
Another early start this morning as I headed for Glen Mallan to see the FGS Frankfurt Am Main leave the jetty and depart Loch Long and out to sea.
Then back across the South side of the river and down to Greenock.
Met up with my friends and we had the usual craick at each others expense as we photographed the remainder of the NATO fleet as it departed.
They sailed from Glasgow and headed out to sea for the first Joint Warrior Exercise of this year.

Joint Warrior Exercise - Arrivals Continue
Another bitter and dreich day as the rain continued relentlessly.
Up early to catch the convoy heading up to Glasgow for berthing.
Then across to Faslane to catch what I could - but too late for many.
Nice to see these foreign warships in the Clyde and surrounding areas.
