The Green Isle of the Great Deep

Farewell to the Petrolia, originally uploaded by ccgd.

The anchors of the SS Petrolia are being lifted, and she is on the move for the first time in seven years. Oil prices are high, and the Firth is almost empty of Rigs, for the first time in 10 years or so.

I'll miss this rig. She has been a constant presence for my walks - and photographs- for so long now that I'm not sure what to focus on when I come round the corner of the beach and the links.
