The River Clyde as it flows through Glasgow past the Tall Ship, Glenlee and the Riverside Museum.
Taken from the Swivelly Bridge - the new Govan to Partick bridge.
A long exposure from the Riverside Museum and Glenlee tall ship; crappy weather today but it was good to get out along the river for a wee while.
Glenlee is a Tall Ship berthed at the Riverside Museum in Glasgow.
The Swivelly Bridge spans the River Clyde and links Govan and Partick.

The River Clyde meanders through unseen from right to left in this shot and then out to sea. In the distance you can see the unmistakable outlines of The Cobbler, Beinn Narnain and Beinn Ime of the Arrochar Alps.
The middle ground shows some of the unique landmarks along the banks of the River Clyde. From left we have the zig-zag shaped roof of the Riverside Museum, The Glasgow Tower and Glasgow Science Centre, BBC Scotland, Crowne Plaza Glasgow, the SEC Armadillo, Finnieston Crane, the Clyde Arc and the SSE Hydro. This is all west of Glasgow City Centre and there is just a faint wisp of the M8 Motorway curling on right of frame that leads into the city.
Captured with light from the setting sun barely tickling the edge of the SSE Hydro with my 70-200mm f/2.8L lens and Manfrotto monopod. I know that a tripod and some stitched shots would have yielded better results but I was literally just out to sit and enjoy the view and hazy sunset from Queen Mary's Seat in Cathkin Braes Country Park, some 300ft above the River Clyde below. Enjoy!
On this day in 1946 the PS Waverley was launched at the Pointhouse yard of A & J Inglis, at the mouth of the River Kelvin and close to the site of the @riversidemuseum It wasn’t until the following year on 20 January 1947 that she was towed to Greenock for the installation of her boiler and engines. Finally she made her maiden voyage on 16 June 1947 and started what has become a very long and illustrious career.
Beautiful light and blue sky over the Riverside Museum in Glasgow.
I love the shape and form created by the zinc cladding which interacts with the changing light around it. The reflections in the window creates a fabulous abstract of the building.
You could photograph the Zaha Hadid’s building every day and never be disappointed.
The Tall Ship is moored beside the Riverside Museum at Glasgow Harbour. The Riverside Museum is the current location of the Glasgow Museum of Transport and was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.
Looking over Glasgow from Radisson Red Hotel. A view over the Scottish Event Campus and The Crown Plaza Hotel, downriver towards The Riverside Museum and Tall Ship "GLENLEE" and the Titan Crane beyond.
Had planned on going up north to get some pics after the recent snow fall
But had to change my plans as the weather forecast predicted a whole day of rain
I went to the tall ship in Glasgow to try some long exposure with the lee big stopper just as the rain stopped for a short period and a little late evening light appeared
