On the harbour wall.

On the harbour wall.
A nice lazy day. Spent the morning reading news, doing crosswords and e-mailing friends. in the afternoon phoned Linda whom I had missed yesterday and spent well over an hour gossiping away about potholes, lockdown fatigue, Johnson's "Greed is good" blunder and Nicola's 4% pay rise for lower paid NHS staff. Well deserved but brilliant timing as Holyrood is in recess and electioneering is now started. Should be worth a few votes for the SNP.
Afterwards I took my prescription to the chemist and glass to the recycling then went to Dysart to have a walk and a photograph. Found I could get onto the harbour wall to photograph a boat I've always liked and the blue Sea Beams by Donald Urquhart. They caused a bit of a stooshie when they were first erected but people have become fond of them over time.

Amelia, Gillian Everett, Weard Bültena, Marco F. Delminho and 16 other people have particularly liked this photo

I quite like the Sea Beams Jean. On this particular day they match the lovely blues of the sea and sky. I can understand that they may have caused a bit of a commotion, but art is subjective and it gets people talking! You've got a good angle on the boat. Is it a permanent feature?

It's been there a while but not permanent. The harbour is full of boats out of the water for the winter but I think this one needs some work doing. It's hard to remember that this harbour used to be full of ships exporting Fife coal in the past. Now it's full of pleasure craft and looks more attractive than it ever did. Dysart is lovely. Lots of 17th century buildings and a strong Dutch architectural influence.

A well composed shot, Jean. I love the beautiful sky. I have passed through Dysart many times, but I don't think I have ever stopped there. All the best, Joe

A beautiful old traditional wooden boat, Jean. The Sea Beams make a good background too. Best wishes for the weekend.

Nicely composed under a beautiful blue sky Jean. That boat looks as if it's been there for some time..............but the wooden hull has a beautiful lines and I can imagine how wonderful she would look when it's properly refurbished. The blue beams are not really my cup of tea, but they're not unattractive and match the sky nicely.

I hope you enjoy the weekend Jean.
