Taken at an ISF (Iowa State Fair) horse and buggy competitions. This was a single horse/ 2 man buggy event. The horses pulling the carriages were Clydesdale horses.
By the end of the evening, they ran 6 horse teams which I could not photograph since I was working.
The Clyde Arc (known locally as the Squinty Bridge), is a road bridge spanning the River Clyde in Glasgow, in west central Scotland, connecting Finnieston, near the Clyde Auditorium and SEC with Pacific Quay and Glasgow Science Centre in Govan. A prominent feature of the bridge is its innovative curved design and the way that it crosses the river at an angle. The Arc is the first city centre traffic crossing over the river built since the Kingston Bridge was opened to traffic in 1969.
The bridge was named the "Clyde Arc" upon its official opening on 18 September 2006. It has been previously known as the "Finnieston Bridge" or the "Squinty Bridge".
Timber Ponds were set up along the southern shore of the River Clyde in the early days of wooden shipbuiling, occupying the area between Port Glasgow and Langbank. The industry required vast quantities of thoroughly seasoned timber, and with shipyards occupying most of the shore line from central Greenock to eastern Port Glasgow, demand was prodigious.
The ponds prevented the timber from floating away and allowed the logs to be organised according to type, length of seasoning, and ownership. Extreme weather could result in the logs breaking free of the ponds, closing the river until they were recovered. Remnants of the timber ponds still exist in the lines of vertical wooden posts sticking out of the mud, and rectangular areas can still be seen in aerial views of the surrounding riverbed.
Imported from North America, timber crossed the Atlantic from Quebec to Port Glasgow. In 1825 this trade amounted to some 19,000 tons, and reached almost 28,000 tons by 1834. The timber was unloaded at the mid-harbour, then chained together with rafters and floated to the ponds. At their peak, the ponds extended as far as the Gare Loch, but the arrival of precut timber and steel construction by 1914 meant that few remained in use.
Arrived in plenty of time for sunrise and took a few shots but noticed these yellow blurry streaks when I zoomed in.
Realised a ship was coming down the canal from Stanlow and was then doing mental calculations how fast tugs pull the ships because it was dot on sunrise and I didn't want to miss it.
Fortunately they move pretty swiftly despite their size and whilst it was exactly where the sun was due to rise when it was sunrise time it didn't take long to pass and it took another 10 minutes or so for the sun to clear the far bank that separates The Mersey from the MSC.
The cloud doesn't look great here but it soon blew over for one of the nicest if not most colourful sunrises I've seen here. It takes around 5-10mins for the wake from the tugs and ship to calm back down and for the water to return to where the reflections work.
Lovely morning, bit twitchy at the thought of the only time I don't want to see a ship here but it was a really nice hour spent afterwards.
The River Clyde (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Chluaidh, pronounced [avɪɲ ˈxlˠ̪uəj], Scots: Watter o Clyde) is a river, that flows into the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. It is the eighth-longest river in the United Kingdom, and the second-longest in Scotland. Traveling through the major city of Glasgow, it was an important river for shipbuilding and trade in the British Empire.
Another one of the "Clyde View" series. This one was taken from exactly the same position as this one but with a wide angle lens.

Clyde is a railroad/radio enthusiast working as a re-enactor at the Pioneer Museum in Dade City. I was absolutely amazed at his command of Morse Code.
It wasnt so much the Iconic Brittish car that caught my attention ,It was the people that were in the car . Instantly I thought of Bonnie & Clyde ! Just my Imagination :-))
[after Clyde shows off his marksmanship with a handgun]
Bonnie Parker: You're good!
Clyde Barrow: I ain't good. I'm the best!
Bonnie Parker: And modest!
— Clyde Barrow, Bonnie and Clyde.
Uhm! Mr. Barrow... You remind me someone I Love with all My heart...My Daddy... My Love.
When walking by a local urban lake, a blue jay landed in a nearby tree and started scolding. A second joined. I thought the behaviour may have been directed at me, but no. I noticed their ire was really meant for Clyde, a cat that was on the prowl. His tag suggests he prefers gold fish, but I suspect he has an appetite for birdies.
The one trip I chose not to bring a camera other than my phone and I leave the hotel to see this. The Clyde like a millpond and the sun rising.

The more I feel I progress in photographic pursuits, the more I am interested in creating setting images for the birds and wildlife I portray so instead of just “filling the frame” with the bird image per se I like to set a living scene. Hope you all like it.
Golden hour meets the blue hour over The Clyde. Looking west over Greenock and Gourock towards Holy Loch and Loch Long.
The power of the River Clyde has been harnessed for centuries. It powered the Mills at New Lanark in the 19th Century. In the 21st it provides hydro-electricity.
