One of the first shots I took of the Bute ferry.  It was before I bought the flat actually, so mid-winter...and apparently a bit of an uphill swim... That's mostly Eider Duck in the foreground.

Taken with the 'Nik' on auto everything - also not from the window, but down at the promenade.  Same direction.
