Lerwick Zebra

The early morning sunlight catching the Zebra that has been berthed in Lerwick harbour for well over a year now. Thought we were getting rid of it but looks like it is here to stay for a while. For those who haven't seen it before it is an accommodation barge for around 100 workmen working on the construction of the new gas plant about 30 miles north.

I'd forgotten what an ugly monster it is.

[Beth]

Ugly and monstrous as it is, it certainly makes for a striking subject!

[Betsey]

That is quite a hulking sight!

[Rosie Kerr]

Oh, my heavens... what a sight! Striking, but I can see why you might be eager for it to leave.

doesn't exactly blend does it

He'll never change his stripes ;-)

Very unique capture of lines and patterns

[👑 AnaZad]

Very intersting barge, to say the least :) it must be fun to see it, but not permanently. Great capture. FAV and follow. Welcome to 365.

I recognised your shot! Why did they paint it that colour? It does seem rather ugly!

[Richard Lewis]

@feathers22 not sure why it's that colour - just it always has been and reduces the chances of anything hitting it because it couldn't see it!!

[Danksound]

Wow I haven't seen that before it's amazing but can imagine it's a bit of a sight for local residents!!

[Lois Bird]

Definitely one of a kind! Welcome to 365!

[W.MARK HATCH]

wow, amazing looking!

[Phil Cameron]

Love it or hate it, I am the latter camp bet you would like to see its aft leave port ? No planning consent required I guess
