Helensburgh Pier

A special local form of transport is the paddle steamer Waverley which calls in to Helensburgh pier during summer sailings. It advertises itself as the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world and was launched in 1946 for service from Craigendoran pier; however Craigendoran pier is now derelict, services having been withdrawn in 1972. Quoted from Wikipedia.

Never been here Roger. Never sure whether mono wins out over natural colour with this type of shot. I like it all the same.

I really like your b/w format, it lends itself to the age of the area. Perfect perspective and dof too. Such a lovely view! I enjoyed visiting the Wiki article and finding the same bench in a photo there. The comparison was fun to go back and forth on! :)
