TAKE INTERMITTENT FOURTEEN

As time progresses, I realise that the majority of my photographs are now appearing on the DoWY bloggy anyway and that there would be little difference added here. I will continue with these monthly posts for this year, but I will have to make a firm decision then whether to cease posting here and dedicate to the single blog or return to regular daily posting here if I can make proper points of difference. Thanks to those of you who have remained here... and if you haven't followed the other blog, please do think of doing so!

This was shot from the shores of St Andrews, Fife. Storm Kathleen had been raging, so I guess these vessels were anchored for safety.

This one had me puzzled... not the ferry, but the thing that initially had me thinking 'sub!' but quickly revealed itself to be a small boat tugging a larger raft... It appeared to be some sort of crane equipment, but it wasn't transmitting AIS, so the mystery remains.

The APEX is the sister ship to the SILHOUETTE, which featured here a few weeks back - and is the cruiser that was docked at Greenock hidden behind the cranes and the container ship... as you can see, the weather deteriorated!

A few weeks back I showed you the Greenock cranes from a distance... here they are at work! (That same evening, the cruiser passed the Hutch's window... keep your eyes peeled for a close up of that!)
