  • Timber Ponds were set up along the southern shore of the River Clyde in the early days of wooden shipbuilding, occupying the area between Port Glasgow and Langbank. The industry required vast quantities of thoroughly seasoned timber, and with shipyards occupying most of the shore line from central Greenock to eastern Port Glasgow, demand was prodigious.<br />
The ponds prevented the timber from floating away and allowed the logs to be organised according to type, length of seasoning, and ownership. Extreme weather could result in the logs breaking free of the ponds, closing the river until they were recovered. Remnants of the timber ponds still exist in the lines of vertical wooden posts sticking out of the mud, and rectangular areas can still be seen in aerial views of the surrounding riverbed.<br />
Imported from North America, timber crossed the Atlantic from Quebec to Port Glasgow. In 1825 this trade amounted to some 19,000 tons, and reached almost 28,000 tons by 1834. The timber was unloaded at the mid-harbour, then chained together with rafters and floated to the ponds. At their peak, the ponds extended as far as the Gare Loch, but the arrival of precut timber and steel construction by 1914 meant that few remained in use.<br />
Current practice is to place green, unseasoned timber in vast kilns, gradually reducing the moisture content until the sawn material is stable. This technology was not available in earlier years, when ancient practice was to leave the unsawn logs to lie on the tidal mudflats and season, for months or even years.  (secret scotland wiki)

  • There are many beautiful spots along the Orchy where you can spend hours happily shooting the river rushing over and across the pale layers rocks of sandstone and quartz. This was a particularly handsome lump that drew my eye instantly. I reasoned to omit other surrounding rock from the frame, also giving the exposure a few seconds to emphasise movement. I wanted to create an ambiguous sense of the scale of it and contrast its steadfastness with the milky flow of white-water pushing against.
