By the riverside on our approach to the Vizcaya Transporter Bridge I spotted this beauty:-

The doorway had some fine detailing:-

This port/marina building is also in the deco/moderne style. Spot two ships’ funnels behind it:-

Closer view. It’s like an 1930s airport tower only with porthole windows:-

Reverse view looking back to Getxo. Those “English” buildings are prominent to the upper left. The main part of Getxo itself is off to the right:-

There was another Fred. Olsen line ship docked at the same time as ours, the Boudicca. Both are seen here from the pier approach:-

SS Black Watch. The bow has a very angled rake:-

Below is a photograph of the new Royal Navy aircraft carrier as viewed from Rosyth. This is the one that apparently won’t have any aircraft once it’s fitted out as we can’t afford them. Trident yes, it seems; warplanes no.

On Friday I realised that T Ronald Dump’s hair reminded me of this:-

The reason we were at Rosyth was to go on a cruise. On the Fred.Olsen Lines ship SS Black Watch. This was the ship’s (mascot?) Not figurehead. It was facing to the rear.
