Port Glasgow – jazziBeeblog

The Skelpies

This 33-foot-high stainless-steel sculpture at Port Glasgow is indeed a magnificent sight; a memorial to the centuries of shipbuilding on the Lower River Clyde and a means of honouring all those workers. It’s proper title is ‘The Shipbuilders of Port Glasgow’ but everyone calls them ‘The Skelpies’

Lighthouses at Port Glasgow

Found ourselves sitting in Burger King with rain hammering on the roof and streaming down the windows. Thankful for the refuge and some warm coffee.

Once the brutal downpour had expended its energy, we found the waterfront here at Port Glasgow quite deserted. After the storm this was indeed a peaceful place.

Hi! I’m James Brown……that abbreviates to Jas. B……….and hence morphs to jazziBee.

Based in Ayrshire in south west Scotland, I’ve been into photography on and off for a long time. But now I’m taking it a bit more seriously. So I started this blog to post some of my images – still not really sure how it may end up. I may delve into some other observations on the world around me…. if I do, please indulge me.

I hope you like my photography. I retain copyright on all my images posted here, of course, but if you feel you might like to use any please get in touch.
