Nice one gavin, very dramatic!
My view is a beck, a drainage stream that looks quite nice really.
And then in the distance is Pleasure Island theme park. A couple of rollercoasters and a few rides, not too big!

This could turn into a lengthy thread. Any more interesting views from one's window of a morning?
We're led to believe you guys just see fog or smog, rain, snow or sleet when you look outside.

Cheers Mike. We had the nice morning but now it's turned to rain again. But even though the sun was shinning this morning the roads were still wet, not dry like yours were,
Chris.

Gavin,
Where are you getting towed to? New location or to a port?
Cheers

Not in Oil Gavin,
A joiner to trade, just that I live on the shores of the Cromarty Firth, been watching semis, jackets and jack ups passing for 25 years now. Mind you last year was the quietest since they started, we had a while last year for the first time in 20 odd years with not a rig in the firth.
It was quite a sight when you used to go up Nigg hill as the sun was setting, to see 10-15 rigs moored in the firth.
Cheers
A.M.
