Port Glasgow Clock Tower 5

Taken in Autumn this year.

Church Street Port Glasgow

This was taken one Autumn Sunday as St Andrews Church was coming out. The low sun cast warm colours and reflected light on the buildings and trees in the distance.

Port Glasgow Roses

This is from an old photo which was scanned.

Blackpool at low tide

Here is Blackpool from a couple of years ago in which you can see the new white stairways being built to allow safer access and exit to and from the beach.

Happy Meal Toys

The children were engrossed with their free puppy toys in an art gallery in Blackpool.

Blackpool Glitterball

Another Breezy Blackpool photo of the children with Erin's hair being blown about.

Blackpool Sculptures

This was converted to black and white to emphasize the shapes of the structures and I also caught the people on the roller coaster at the top.

Blackpool Beach Nuts

This is not the usual beach known to most tourists as it is beyond the Pleasure Beach. I like the unusual nuts and placed this large monument of a glitter ball on the edge of the wall.

St Johns Trees Port Glasgow

These trees are next to St Johns Church. I liked the colours and the shadows

Port Glasgow Fire Station

This shows the fire station with Fergusons Shipyard behind it. To the right is the old rope works building which is now converted into luxury flats

Oban Car

This is a scan of an old photo taken at Kelburn Estate near Largs.

This was taken for a dereliction theme.
I was attracted by the gate of this old nursery and the abandoned building in the background. I liked the keep out sign and the fact that someone had left a yellow cart on the site which would possibly would have attracted children onto a dangerous site

Kibble Palace

Smetimes you can take good pictures on bleak days if you remember to think in black and white and shapes when taking them.

Musicians

These musicians were playing last year at Cawdor Castle

Clyde Sunset

You can't beat a sunset over the Clyde as this one taken this summer shows

Wellington Reflections

Taken outside the MOMA in Glasgow the same day with good reflections on the paving between showers

I loved the reflections here in the rain and the girls umbrella added nice colour to the scene

Fog Horn on The Isle of May

This was taken after a boat trip to see the puffins which are easy to get close to on the island. There is also a lighthouse in the background.

Lossiemouth Beach

This was taken whilst landing RAF jets cut across the view. I had to wait to get a clear picture.

Red Reflections

Taken on the same day outside the MOMA. I likes the reds in the reflections and the ladies clothing.

Another bad weather picture outside the MOMA in Glasgow

This candid photo was taken at Luss at Loch Lomond.

Blair Atholl Castle

Taken a couple of years ago in the spring.

Lochranza Castle

This is a copy from an old slide taken in Lochranza on the Isle of Arran years ago. I liked the reflections on the water. Unfortunately I used a poor quality scanner but the grain in the photo adds to the effect.

Loch Lomond Swans

This was taken on Loch Lomond at Luss near the pier

Killiekrankie woods

Taken in Killiecrankie in Perthshire a few years ago one Easter. I like the brownness of the landscape which made the pink stand out.

Port Glasgow Clock Tower and War Memorial

This was taken from the high flats which allowed a good view of the Clock Tower and War Memorial with the River Clyde in the background.

Misty Cranes on the Clyde

Taken as the sun set over the Greenock hills one winter. I liked the mist that was returning after the days sunshine had cleared it away

Port Glasgow War Memorial

This was taken early one morning to catch the low light shining a golden glow on the structures. I likes the old street light and St Andrews curch on the background

Double Rainbow over Port Glasgow

This one of the tracks the old Scott Lithgow Crane ran on. The picture was taken on the same day as the previous photo and the light was ideal for rainbows over the Clyde.

Port Glasgow Boat and Lighthouses

Taken with a pocket camera between heavy showers when the sun broke through the clouds.

James Watt Dock Sugar Sheds pillar
