14th February 2023 - The Shipbuilders of Port Glasgow. Nicknamed locally as "The Skelpies" are found in Coronation Park, near the Ferguson's Shipyard at Port Glasgow on the banks of the River Clyde. Designed and built by Artist John McKenna.
I knew about them and wanted to photograph them by night. I am told the coloured lights are a new addition to the attraction. Oh WOW, the sculptures are beautiful. The lights change colour every ten seconds or so.
Two 14-tonne figures of stainless steel of around 33 feet high pay homage to the shipbuilding past and industrial history of the town.
I arrived as the blue hour after sunset was there. Gave lovely colours in the night sky. I moved my tripod around the structure to capture images from all angles.
I positioned my camera and tripod in the early images to include the Ferguson Marine sign on The Shipyard and the ill fated
incompleted floated Calmac Ferry The Glen Sannox in the background.
Here are 63 images I took from various points around The Skelpies.
