Vital Spark in the Rain and Mist

Vital Spark in the Rain and Mist
The Vital Spark was a BBC Scotland television series set in the western isles of Scotland in the 1930s, based on the Para Handy books by Neil Munro. It starred Roddy McMillan as Peter "Para Handy" MacFarlane, captain of the puffer Vital Spark. Quoted from Wikipedia.

The rain and mist make a very pleasing picture here Joe. With the overcast sky, the red of the Vital Spark, your framing is perfect in portrait mode. Cheers, Rosa.

I tried to photograph her straight on, Rosa, but there were two large wheelie bins in the way. LOL. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe

Good that she is still about. We saw her last at Crinan in much better but boring weather. Great catch here, well done. ~ Herb

Me too, I loved The Vital Spark in the 60s, and, the 90s re-make The Tales of Para Handy. Thanks for your visit, Herb. Cheers, Joe

Thanks Joe. Come to think of it, I have a book of the Para Handy tales too. What a lark. Got to admit that I love exploring Scotland and fortunately it starts from only 3 hours away up the M6 for us. Cheers, Herb

I didn't watch the series, but I must have missed an excellent programme if this red boat is anything to go by. Lovely in the mist.
