Ayr surroundings

Taken from the same spot as the last two photographs, these two serve to show the extent of Ayr Bay and the Firth of Clyde.

The first is a little to the west of Ayr and shows the coast line up through Irvine and beyond up to the Cumbraes.



The second is even further west looking over towards Arran.

Cumbrae Ferry

Whilst at the Largs Pencil, I took this photograph of the Calmac Largs to Cumbrae Ferry at the Cumbrae Slipway.

Millport - Again

This photograph was taken under the same conditions as that of yesterday, but shows the view a little further round the bay.

The spire showing through the trees on the left of the picture is the Episcopal Cathedral of the Isles, the spiritual home of my sister-in-law.

This is a photograph of Millport taken from the Ayrshire coast just beside Hunterston Nuclear Power Station which was closed in 1990 and is currently being decommissioned.

I used my Sony camera with the big lens, with an octopus tripod wrapped round a rail and a cable release to minimise blurring from camera shake. I think I managed fairly well
