Dolores Ibarruri ."The Passion Flower"
On the Banks of the Clyde at Custom House Quay, a short walk from the suspension bridge in the heart of Glasgow lies this superb statue of Dolores Ibarruri ."The Passion Flower".
The International Brigade's monument to the British Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War of 1936-9. Their fight against fascism is embodied in the statue of Dolores Ibarruri (1895-1989)
Looking a bit worse for ware these days ,but still a striking sculpture.

Fife Regatta
The third Fife Regatta took place on the Clyde in June and photographer Marc Turner was there.
The event was a celebration of the designs of WM. Fife and Sons who designed and built classic sailing yachts at their yard in Fairlie around the turn of the century .
Marc has produced a calendar of some of the best shots he took that week. It has been designed in a simple and elegant manner ,sympathetic to the timelessly elegant lines of these classic yachts .
