Hawkcraig Pier is a relic from the days when the coast of Fife was littered with military defence installations. This was one of the landing points for passengers and supplies for the nearby WW 1 research facility. Almost everything else was dismantled when the military moved out but this pier has been around slowly disintegrating over the decades.
I had hoped to catch the sun popping up just at the end of the pier on this morning shoot but I was tricked by the distant hill (Berwick Law) which hid the point of sunrise until it was too late to change position. I’ve tried to make the most of the resultant shot by trying to create a balanced image across the frame but that meant bringing the rig into frame. I’m not convinced that rigs make all that an interesting subject but when you live in Scotland it appears at times you can’t look at the coastline without seeing at least one.
This Confederate reenactor was quite a skilled fife player. He was playing along with a drummer (a Union reenactor, interestingly) during the recent Civil War Days at Detroit's Historic Fort Wayne.

Flickr friends, my Internet has been down since yesterday afternoon and just came back, so I'm late posting and a bit behind on comments. Will be catching up soon.

Last fling with the camera before it goes in for repair. With autofocus not working, these aren't as sharp as I'd like
Looking out from St. Monan's harbour across the Firth of Forth towards Berwick Law and the Bass Rock, home of the worlds largest gannet colony.
A bit too sunny for me, I would have preferred moodier and stormier!
Theres a boat on the left hand side of this oilrig, I had fun watching it move across the water til it reached the oilrig. If anyone knows the purpose of this type of boat, Id love to know.
