Altaire

The Altaire, LK429, lying in Lerwick harbour. 77m long, built in 2004. In 2006 she landed a record 2,200 tonnes of mackrel from one trip.

A fairly laid back Monday, didn't have to get to work early, nothing on after work, no frantic deadlines. And a whole lunch hour that I didn't have to shop in, or pick things up, or put them down. So I had a leisurely drive round town looking for inspiration. Its a cool, blowy day, the seals outside Tesco weren't sunbathing; there were gannets fishing, but I didn't have my big lens. I'm happy with the Altaire, though.
