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.
We spent a lovely day touring round Fife on the 28th May 2021.
Have a lovely day/night:)

A little splash of color on Fife Lake.
The train comes through everyday and I remember during summer days at the lake waving to the conductor with so much glee. I guess I was easily entertained back then. :)
Last fling with the camera before it goes in for repair. With autofocus not working, these aren't as sharp as I'd like
It's getting earlier now so this photo was taken this morning at 4.45, 20 mins before the sun came up.
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!
A Category 'B' Listed Building in St Andrews, Fife. Circa 1890. Cast-iron octagon, delicately detailed; scroll-crown finial at roof. Quoted from the British Listed Buildings website
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.
This less than stellar image was taken on a trip with the fam to Seattle Center, a place that we are all too old for, but that's where the ladies wanted to go.
The soil in Fife Washington is some of the most fertile in the world due to previous volcanic eruptions and was once vast farmland. Today most of it is paved with extremely large warehouses full of goodies made in China due to it's proximity to the Port of Tacoma. It really is a crying shame to see. This was taken from Sterino Farms which thankfully is on the other side of the Puyallup River in Puyallup and maintains it's crops and picturesque view. I will be going back for better light, but since we are setting records for rain in a place famous for rain, this is what I have to offer today. :-)
It was my goal to forego flickr for a few weeks until I get something better but I just couldn't do it, so I'll be checking up on ya'll today. I apologize for the tardiness, but this is a lot more fun when you have skin in the game. :-)
