Saga Rose










Saga Rose departing from Greenock Ocean terminal yesterday evening. A lovely calm evening,the light was particularly beautiful as she headed into the haze and Crepuscular rays came breaking through the cumulus nimbus clouds.

The Saga Rose is a 'classic liner' cruise ship operated by Saga Cruises of the United Kingdom. It was launched in 1965 as the Norwegian America Line's Sagafjord, and was long operated by the Cunard Line. Well-maintained and known for its stately interior and classical swept bow, it now operates worldwide on cruise tours targeted at the senior market.

The Saltmarshes


A visit to Old Kirkpatrick today,and a walk along the Clyde salt marshes.
I spotted this deer and her young fawn, she was no more than 100 yards from the river edge.

The Saltmarshes at Old Kilpatrick is a nature reserve on the banks of the Clyde it contains internationally important numbers of wintering redshank and curlew that flock to the reserve’s rich mudflats, which are an important feeding ground.
