1097 was captured at one of the temporary stops currently in use at Ocean Terminal while the roadway in front of the shopping centre is closed for works in association with the Trams to Newhaven project.
Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia, also known as the Royal Yacht Britannia, is the former royal yacht of the British monarch, Queen Elisabeth II, in service from 1954 until 1997. She was the 83rd such vessel since King Charles II acceded to the throne in 1660, and is the second royal yacht to bear the name, the first being the racing cutter built for the Prince of Wales in 1893. During her 43-year career, the yacht travelled more than a million nautical miles around the globe. Today, she is an award-winning visitor attraction permanently berthed at Ocean Terminal, Leith, in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is visited by over 300,000 tourists each year.
These buses were new to Lothian Buses as 348 and 524 in 2009 and 1999.
Seen here at Ocean Terminal.
348 has since been debranded and transfered to Marine depot to alow B5TLs to be introduced on the 22, the first buses in the fleet with USB charging points.
524 has since been sold on to Reading Buses as 520. They have branded it with a stunning rooftop flower livery. They have since refitted the bus with LED desination screens.
Still amazes me they park a ship with multi-million dollar aircraft on SO close to a public location.... Not that I'm complaining, its great for photos :)
This was one of four AV-8B's I could see on the deck. The others being 165380, 165580 and 165574.
This bus was new to Lothian Buses as 993 in 2007.
Seen here at RBS Gogarburn.
This was the last weekend of service for the Scanias, haven already been sold to make way for the 35 migrating to the new Skylink branding of the Airlink subsidiary of Lothian Buses, as of 1/9/17 and become the 300, so they can justify the extra charge into the airport.
Was planning to continue with the Indian pictures, but, now or never - to report on the greatest hit of the city - Rubber Duck.
Since the Duck entered the border of HK, there has been news introducing such art installation / exhibition of which the duck would "park" at the terminal aka the largest shopping mall complex - the Harbour City. Thousands of posts have been flooding the news feeds of Facebook everyday, and even my parents visited the duck on the first day of the exhibit. Of course that's part of the HK culture to get excited and attracted to the trendest events on the news, the phenomenon is actually not difficult to understand for such a city with this extremely high density and life patterns usually across several areas of the city. When information spread in the speed of Whatsapp in such density, it also means that people could come together and meet in seconds.
Especially when something happy and fun in these cloudy days would be loved and highly celebrated. No matter what, everyone around me think that such cute and lovely popular eye-catching art piece fits Hong Kong perfectly with no doubt.

This might look like a montage created in Photoshop. Nothing of the sort...it's very real. Some modern art in Edinburgh: all I've done is remove the wires! And of course turn it into mono.
The first of the 42 new Volvo B8L/Alexander Dennis Enviro 400XLB vehicles had a soft launch into service with Lothian Buses on 06 March 2019. 1063 was the first but here 1079 is seen after arrival at Ocean Terminal and prior to entering service on an evening peak hour departure on Service 11 to Hyvots Bank. I enjoyed the run to the city centre but Stanley Road and Pilrig Street are certainly a challenge for the driver.
The luxury cruise liner Grand Princess departing from Greenock's Ocean Terminal early this evening. The late afternoon sun lit up the hills beautifully, giving the passengers a scenic treat as they left Scotland behind. This photo was taken through my Tamron zoom lens and gritted teeth as typical me had forgotten my other lens, but hey, who needs to see the whole ship anyway... :-)))
Grand Princess is more than the biggest, most expensive cruise ship ever. Built at a cost of over $430 million, Grand Princess has more ways to relax, dine, shop, play, swim, sun, dance and indulge than you can imagine. With nine different places to dine and three shows from which to choose nightly, you can do what you want, when you want.
Grand Princess, the flagship of Personal Choice CruisingSM, is the largest, most expensive ship afloat and the most innovative. No other ship offers so much choice in dining, entertainment and accommodations including more balconies than any other ship and much more.
Newhaven is a district in the capital city of Scotland, Edinburgh, which lies between Leith and Granton and is about 3.2 km north of the city centre of Edinburgh, just north of the Victoria Park district. The new Western Harbour development extends north into the Firth of Forth from Newhaven.

New in 2015, Lothian 433 was captured at the bus terminus at Ocean Terminal in Leith. The vehicle was loading for another trip on the Skylink 200 service through the north and west Edinburgh suburbs to Edinburgh Airport. Many new flats and houses are under construction just out of sight to the right and further changes here soon will include the revitalisation of the shopping centre under the new name Porta, and the start of tram construction, with the tram extension to Leith and Newhaven due to arrive in 2023.
UPDATE - following a change to the ownership of Ocean Terminal in 2020, it was announced that the plan to change the centre’s name to Porta has been dropped.
Established on 01 Oct 2006, the Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23 (HSC-23) called "Wildcards" is based at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, California and currently commanded by Commander Alan M. Worthy (USN).
Parked on the flightdeck of the USS Boxer (LHD 4), a Wasp-Class Amphibious Assault Ship of the United States Navy (USN), docked at Ocean Terminal during a port visit to Hong Kong before returning to its home port in San Diego, California.
