Some photos of my favourite part of Greenock - the mile long Esplanade - where I have spent many happy hours through the years. These are fairly recent (taken over the past year or two).
Love that view!
This was the first flashing buoy used to aid navigation

Its always good to see how other folk take pictures of the same area.You have already given me an idea for a photograph! I liked the floral picture of the QE2,I have never seen it!

Thanks Gerry! If I hadn't met you and seen your blog I don't think I would have thought of doing this.
Hi Jane,
What a wonderful idea......to post the old and the new......and with such beautiful photos, to boot. I love them all, but I especially love the first photo with the deep blue rail along the river (is it the Clyde?).
I love your web site design, too. Where can I find a way to build one like this?
Very nice. I thoroughly enjoyed looking and can't wait for more.
Thank you so much Jackie and yes, it is The Clyde! (I've sent you the details of building a blog via email)
I agree with the comments - your blog is splendid! I actually watched the QE2 being launched and coming down the Clyde by Dunoon. It was a big deal then to us. I have so many questions about your blog, how you got things where you put them on it. LOVE the blog!!
Thanks again Melinda, how wonderful it must have been to see her launched!! It's really not difficult to add things to the blog!
Oh the Clyde the Clyde the wonderful Clyde ~ ~ ~ ~ ~I am singing the song now Jane!
