One from a while back (January 2014), popped up after an image from the same set appeared on the local newspaper’s website (cough… cough…) and was spotted by a keen-eyed friend. As noted at the time: “Another high surge tide on the River Forth down The Shore at Alloa this afternoon. This one didn't quite beat the previous high from decades ago, but was the highest most people around here had seen for a while.” –•– #Clackmannanshire #Alloa #AlloaHarbour #RiverForth #SpringTide #SurgeTide #flooding #harbour #pylons #StormHour #longexposure #nightphotography #longexpoelite #longexposure_shots #amazing_longexpo #longexpo #longexposureoftheday #longexposurephotography #nightscape #slowshutter #lazyshutters #nightimages (at The Shore, Alloa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5GaezoB4Og/?igshid=1951i1e80l7e7

The hot end. The glassworks factory - silhouetted in the glow of sunset on one of the hottest days of summer most of the UK’s ever had - has a perpetual one. Pity the poor sods that had to sweat their shift out on the bottle production lines in there today; no relief to be found even with the River Forth tempting them in for a dook (NOT recommended down here, no matter how hot it gets). • • • • • © Copyright Brian Smith 2019 #Alloa #AlloaHarbour #Clackmannanshire #RiverForth #TheShore #harbour #SkyPorn #summer #sunset #sunsets #GetOutside #OutAndAboutScotland #SonyImages #SonyAlphasClub #A6500 #longexposure #nightphotography #longexpoelite #longexposure_shots #amazing_longexpo #longexpo #longexposureoftheday #longexposurephotography #ScotlandIsNow #IG_Scotland #IGersScotland #Heatwave #UKHeatwave (at Old Alloa Docks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0W0CavF-b2/?igshid=nk5nv00i731n

I have been elsewhere this weekend, but it’s been hugely distracting down here at the end of both days when I’ve been passing. A nice bit of boaty alignment in this one too. • • • • • #Alloa #AlloaHarbour #Clackmannanshire #River #RiverForth #TheShore #boat #colour #evening #goldenhour #harbour #sky #sunset #sunsets #Scotland #Stirling #StirlingCastle #thisisscotland #scotland_greatshots #lovescotland #VisitScotland #ScotlandIsNow #scotlandshots #SonyWorldClub #SonyAlphasClub #OutAndAboutScotland (at Old Alloa Docks) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuRyFNYBnOX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1916dg3c5aopz

Double triptych. Sixtych?
