I had to take the car into the garage first thing to have a minor matter attended to. I had an hour or so early in the morning before the main coffee shops opened (in Napier many are open by 0700 but it's 1000 before they open in Stornoway) so I took a walk around even though it was a very dull morning.

| The auxilliary power station which is no longer in general use following the Islands being linked to the mainland for their electricity. So why were all the turbines up and running I wondered. |
 |
| 'Monaco' seemed a little inappropriate for this Glasgow registered boat which I have a feeling might become a major problem for the harbour authority - if it isn't one already. |

| Our wonderful lifeboat |

| Who thought that name up and what's behind it I wonder. |

A good look round.......pity there were no dogs. I can never erase the mental link between Stornoway and fornicating dogs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour... I like that first photo a lot, nice balance of colours with the water reflection.
ReplyDeleteFor Adrian: What? I have been walking Briagha my retriever around Stornoway and Castle Grounds for 5 years now and have never, ever, seen a fornicating dog!
ReplyDeleteWhere were you walkingI wonder?!
Is it just me, or does that power station look somewhat like a huge old ocean liner with those three chimneys?
ReplyDeleteFornicating dogs are often just standing around nonchalantly... enjoying a little post coital attachment. You need to now what to look for Spesh1

Spesh... Click on GB's label 'boat' in the sidebar and read the comments there and you'll know what Adrian is referring to (I think). (What remains obscure is why I remember. One of my first impressions of Adrian's eye for background detail, maybe! -lol- )
