Vigo dock area continued June 2011

The last photo showed this photo in a colour negative when this is how the cruise ship really looked under a sunny sky, this very hot weather is not for me shade is my friend on days such as this! Not even a cooling breeze came to cool one down! 

Vigo, we are still around the dock area and the statues.

VIGO harbour and dock area!!


This sculpture or stature whatever you wish to call it can be  seen from almost anywhere on the dock, but to photograph with no-one climbing on or over it, I had to wait and wait hours for the right moment! 


I could not see anything to tell me what it was all about, but was amazed by its size and beauty, yet people just climbed over it or walked around muttering "What a waste of money"  I think some would have pushed it into the dock if they could!!


Hope you enjoy it and see the beauty I see in this work of art!! 

VIGO Spain last visit on land before sailing home. June 2011 Cruise

The city of Vigo is situated on the slopes of Monte del Castro in the Northern Spanish province of Galicia.


This was the view that greeted us on the early morning arrival in Vigo Spain, after an early breakfast we ventured ashore but not far as to hot for me, my wife and friends ventured into the many streets.


I have 14 photos to share with you all this time, however have decided to post one at a time trying to tell you something about Vigo.. The building with the colourful lettering we found to be the Metropolitan Shopping Mall looking on to a small square with a large Head and Neck statue also a marina. 

March 23rd to the 25th stroke survivors from all over the UK met in Manchester at Heald Green

The photos were taken mainly with a phone camera and eight by HD video camera they are the eight before the last two. A great time was had by all the stroke survivors, this was my first trip out since January this year so a great achievement for me.  The photo of the dog was taken on our way to the meeting when we stopped off to have coffee with a wonderful friend, who calls me NUTTY .... The dog should be named NUTTY 2.
