Sailing up the Clyde at 06:30 it was amazing to see in the dark all the camera flashes from people lining the shores at that hour. It was too dark for photos then so these are from about 07:30 to 07:50 as Queen Mary 2 was coming alongside the Ocean Terminal to the tones of the Royal Burgh of Renfrew Pipe Band. To accommodate QM2 the port's three huge cranes had been squeezed as far down the terminal as they could go. A lovely morning, which was however soon to turn into low cloud & rain 19 October 2009
