The BRO DISTRIBUTER was licking along at a rate of knots... literally!!! 12.5 to be precise AND on an incoming tide. This set of three shows the fun of photographing fast moving vessels which is closely equal to that of photographing birds!!!

Taken slightly illicitly - I was driving at the time! Couldn't resist this though, as it is rare to have the light like this when passing the iconic Titan Crane.

Thursday again - where anything goes...
This was a winter shot - but given that our May weather is not much improved on this other than the trees being more dressed, it still fits... NOT mono - as witnessed by the building, which offered the only break in the grey. Just.

This coot wasn't so daft...
It took 87 gazillion shots to get even this half-good one. There was apparently something worth the chase beneath the wavelets!!!

Yet another which must remain unidentified... it is interesting to note that there are certain vessels which only show up on the 'radar' as "Military ops" - or just don't show up at all. This is a monochrome take this time.

Some shots captured when I was waiting for the ferry at Greenock;
Eva Marie Muller,
Antiqua & Barbuda,
general cargo,
88m, 3722t.
As for the M33 - when I tried to locate that only got info on the original M33, which was present at Gallipoli! Good old Marine Traffic site let me down on this one - even when I did get it's details, it had no 'name' and was cited as being only 9metres length... and 'military ops'... hey ho...

Like sentinels, these lamps adorn the entry to a church - they would have been gas lamps originally I suppose - but no sign of current usage.

Thursday. A day to be different.
Midwinter, but protected by the buildings around it, this tree still held onto many of its leaves. The colours of the office building walls and windows were the only really bright spot on an icy grey day. I could have played with ISOs and exposures ... but this is as close to the feeling of the actual day as can be conveyed via photo image.
Leith waterfront. It was 1:30 pm.... note the street lights had decided they were necessary!

YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in photographing birds.
...is that Spring on the horizon???
Taken from my lounge chair. The tree is about 150m on other side of street and is a favourite viewing place for the birdies. In this case, magpies. There was double glazing and an stretched lens involved here, so not the sharpest shot I ever took. It is very much 'of the moment' though - at the beginning of April.
