Nice schooner shot, highlander! Last year, we enjoyed a local cruise on one very similar to that. Would love to do it again! :)

I've finally managed to work out how Flickr works!
Here's a photo of the tall ship Atlantis that I took down at Thurso harbour in the evening.
The large cruise ship is in the background.

I did get some shots earlier similar to those already in the thread.

Well done, new driver! :) The schooner looks great silhouetted against the lovely evening sky, and the rocks in the foreground add further interest to the photo. :cool:

Great photos from you all, took a couple myself, but had too short a focal length lens on the camera.
Particularly like your photo new driver, good timing.
