A cloudy sunset

The sunset over the Firth of Clyde are never the same. On Friday and Saturday night we were treated with cloudy sunsets. From a panorama on Friday night to a closeup of the sun on Saturday night, topped off with the MV Bute (Eilean Bhóid) sailing into the sunset.

Queen Mary 2 sailing down the Firth of Clyde

Cunard Line’s luxury cruise ship, the Queen Mary 2, sailed down the Firth of Clyde this evening. The liner had been berthed in Greenock’s container dock as it was too large to berth in the usual spot for cruise liners.

You can see how large the Queen Mary 2 is in comparison to the passing MV Bute (Eilean Bhóid).

A purple sunset over Toward Point

We simply cannot get enough of the sunsets over the Firth of Clyde. The sunsets are spectacular and every sunset is different!

Tonight’s sunset provided vivid reds and ambers against dark purple hues with a strong reflection on the water. The MV Bute (Eilean Bhóid) coming in against the backdrop of the colours will be a strong contender for my picture of the year.
