Easter Sunday this year was beautiful and sunny, but there was quite a strong cold wind blowing.  I went to Peterhead to join in the outdoor Easter Sunday Sunrise service which is held in the Lido car park, overlooking the bay and the harbour.  Because the clocks had gone forward I was out and about much earlier than usual and I look the opportunity to take a few pictures as well.

The sun was right over the north breakwater when we gathered for the service and I was able to get a couple of silhouettes with the camera pointing right into the sunrise.

From there it was on to the harbour where I spotted an oil supply boat lying offshore and some spindrift.  I tried several pictures here and have eventually chosen this one as the best.   I wonder if it will make it into a Peterhead Calendar if we do one this year?

I tried a few pictures of the boat from Buchanhaven harbour, further along the shore, but I was not really satisfied with them.  However I spotted some colourful boats lined up beside the slipway waiting for better weather, I expect.

With time still on my hands and the hour still quite early,  I drove on to Boddam to see what I might take there.  Unfortunatley the sun was not really in the right position but I did attempt a couple of shots at my favourite Buchan Ness Lighthouse with the sea churning round the rocks.

If you want to see more of the pictures from today you can find them on my Flickr Site.
