Autumn,
Late on a misty afternoon just when the light started to fade as the sun set below the trees at Hawkridge Reservoir,
Large perhaps!
Vital Spark!
Another image from the archives once again it's 2018,
This is Loch Fyne at Inveraray Pier with the Clyde Puffer "Vital Spark" She was launched in 1943 as "VIC 27" (victualling inshore craft) These ships were a World War II derivative of the iconic Clyde-built puffers which, for nearly a century, were the lifeblood of coastal communities up and down the west coast of Scotland.
She was the “"the smertest boat in the coastin' tred", with her blood red hull, shiny brass whistle and cargoes of anything from Heilan coos to furniture, and plenty of whisky.
She also starred in the mini-series, Para Handy – Master Mariner
I recommend a large view,,,,,,, HFF and a lovely weekend to all!
I have a link to a programme on the Clyde Puffers for anyone who may be interested,

A large view perhaps and HWW!
Northern Sea Walls
Port of Ness village, Isle of Lewis, Outher Hebrides, Scotland, HWW!
Nis, or Ness, is the most northerly parish in Lewis. It has the highest proportion of Gaelic speakers in Scotland, over 90%. It was settled by the Norse and its story since then has been closely tied to seafaring and to the sea.

Better large in my opinion!
14th Century Tower Castle,
Flat light and a gentle mist for this image of Portencross Castle, On the Firth of Clyde in the tiny coastal hamlet of Portencross, North Ayrshire!
The castle was in severe danger of serious structural collapse but In 1998 a local charity, the Friends of Portencross Castle (FOPC), were successful in putting together a funding package of just over £1 million for repairs, and this is the result!
HFF and a good weekend,,,,,,,,,,,,, Large for detail!
A link for anyone interested in its history! www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/westkilbride/portencrosscastle/index.html
