due to the stinking weather and wind, not much deckspace for fishing though ;)

saw this boat on the local news this morning and as i was heading down in that general direction took my trusty canon with me. :camera:

 

once i got there i couldn't get very close so i used my 55-200mm lens, but had to shoot through a wire fence and the holes in the fence were too close to poke the lens through, so the blurry bits are fence wire

you can see the "brittannia" in the background as well

 

by the time i worked out how to get closer albeit with the risk of being ejected by the dudes in the flouro coats i had run out of time and had to bolt....

 

crap pics, but the best i could do in the circumstances

Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, and its sound is like razors through flesh.

cheers lads,

 

i'm a bit disappointed i couldn't get a bit closer, i was pushed for time as i had to be home for my son's getting home from school.

 

i'm not shy at trying to get in for a better shot, but there was a few of the yellow jacketed guys about and unusually i wasn't in the mood for an argument...lol

 

maybe get a chance for a better shot before it leaves

Les that is one mean looking craft. Not fancy taking your family for a tour of Brittania,looks like you could get some good shots in from her bows :thumbs:

 

I paid for a trip around her a few years ago and found it very educational.Those audio handsets are supplied which I always plumb for. :rolleyes:

sorry john used my spare arm and leg last weekend at drummore paying the bar bill on sunday night :drunk:

 

i've heard it's quite expensive and as i'm scottish..... you can guess the rest.

 

last time i was in edinburgh castle it was free, it's about £12 each to get in now....
