THE VIEW FROM THE DARTMOUTH OFFICE
The Pick of The View From The Dartmouth Office
There have been some extraordinary events happen in front of our view since we moved to Dartmouth in 2003. This album is a collection of some of the better photographs combined with photos of the more interesting events.
It's only a small selection from all the years, and includes Navy ships, British and foreign. Lots of cruise ships, superyachts and even a couple of megayachts. Everyday life in and around the river. And not so every day life. Some of it very unusual indeed. Masses of aircraft, helicopters in particular.
There's always activity on the river, but plenty 'off the field' too. There's been a rebuilding boom since we arrived that shows no sign of let up.
Fireworks always look great in the valley setting, and the Britannia Royal Navy College (BRNC) has great displays a few times each year. But the best ones are probably the Saturday night during Regatta.
Anyway, full marks to you if you manage to plough through this lot. Or plow thro should you be across the pond.

After months (years actually) of renovations Kittery Court house on the riverside in Kingswear was nearly ready. Until a fire started in the roof space (reportedly by a young plumber). Within minutes the house was totally destroyed. #housefire #Kingswear #KitteryCourt

Saw this sight just the once. In our two degree view out to sea, up popped...a submarine. No idea of its name - or even its nationality. Can anyone help?

RAF Chinooks continue to pass through the valley, but they no longer perform aerobatics as they used to during the Dartmouth Regatta air displays. Sometime terrifying to watch

Dartmouth Lower Ferries are a constant plying their trade between our side of the river Dart and Kingswear. but just occasionally they turn in an odd appearance. Two tugs and one barge can only lead to a row (as in an argument. Or maybe as in using the oars)

Fireworks at BRNC, Dartmouth, apparently a private function. For everyone to enjoy. Well, except for those with pets. It was a rather good display - by Firestorm Pyrotechnics.

Time and tide wait for no digger. The repairs to the Kittery Court landing stage continue. When the height of the river allows.

Some sunrises don't look at all promising. And then for just a few minutes, magic happens. In this case the sun popped up briefly over the sea under some very dense clouds.
