James Watt Dock Today

With the sun finally breaking through his afternoon I was keen to get a few images under my belt.

Very cold in the wind, but being nice and bright, I dropped in to James Watt Dock on my way home.

PS Waverley - Last Greenock Call of the Year

I managed a run to Greenock to catch the PS Waverley as she arrived for her last stop before heading to Glasgow for the final time this year.

She was quite late and the light was fading fast, so pleased that I managed a few usable images.
