Description


Ok I've driven past this ship so many times and thought it looked interesting, and on the way up to Gleneagles a couple of weekends ago I decided it was time to stop and take a photo. The ship is the RRS Discovery, anchored in Dundee. (From Wikipedia) RRS Discovery was the last wooden three-masted ship to be built in Britain, and was launched on 21 March 1901, designed for Antarctic research. Her first mission was the British National Antarctic Expedition, carrying Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first, successful journey to the Antarctic, known as the Discovery Expedition. More info here. In the background you can see the Tay road bridge. The shot was taken at sunset, and I used a polarizer filter which gives the deep transition across the sky. Not really a sensational shot I feel but I've wanted to do this one for a while and it's cleansing to get a bit closer to being up to date with editing recent pics (though probably I'll still be posting ones from France in a year's time!) oh... and spot the moon =) Adam
