The Kelpies

[leeperry]

My first away day with my grand-kids since the lock down, we went to the Kelpies(art installation) on the Forth and Clyde canal.
It is a busy with visitors and it is near impossible to get both Kelpies in one shot without loads of people in the frame.

Great set very nice indeed. Is there any information about them, are they metal

Really jealous of these great shots. Was on our itinerary for a trip we'd planned in June but we all know how that went.

Had planned for some long exposure shots so that people would not appear in the shots.

Very nice set of photos. I particularly like the second and fifth shots.

Great shots Gary, I agree with John on the ones I like best, the 2nd and 5th in that order, the 2nd I like because of its imposing quality.

A nice set....Especially the mono of the head in isolation.....I have visited once but was using Fuji at the time....I’ll definitely go again....not too far from the Falkirk wheel too.

Very good, really like the second one.
