Nice to see you getting your camera out Kiya ;) I bet you are just looking at those helicopters in the hope of spotting Roy :D . The fishing boat splashing through the White Caps looks good :up and I see they are keeping your bench area nice and tidy for you, you will soon be having a picnic on that grass and chasing all those Seagulls away. :lol:

Yes that is my bench with the mower ;)

Here is a better one & how it is looking out just now, with Rattray Head Lighthouse in the distance if you can see it ;)

And St.Fergus gas terminal to the left of the lighthouse where our Horus may have fixed any of the power transformers ;) :)

It wouldn't have been the first time Roy has flown overhead, he always spots our house from a distance with his carport.

I forgot to mention these photos are all taken with my long lens hand held, sometimes I rest the camera on the window frame but, not when taken the choppers.

Kiya have you thought of getting yourself a MonoPod to steady your camera on a zoom shot? They are really cheap on the likes of Amazon, I even have one that is a walking stick with a thread on the handle to attach to the camera, then you just extend it to a suitable height if you use it as a MonoPod. :up

Lovely photos! I like the seagulls and I like the last one of the ship heading home. Pretty choppy water out there.

Nice set of pictures Kiya :up Glad the bench is still there......one day you WILL look out of your window and we will be sitting there. :lol: :lol:

I like the first two of the service vessel. Looks a really cool ship sprecially designed for its purpose and a fast looking hull. The first fishing boat is similar to those around our coast.....but the big one wouldn't even get into Whitstable harbour. :lol:
