In messing about with the V & A building photos I forgot about My Favourite Thing in Dundee.

LEMMINGS!

Oh how I loved that game.

#photography #Scotland #retroGaming

A photo of the Lemmings statues in Dundee. It is a stone pillar with a brick laying bridge building lemming at the bottom, a climber half way up, and one at the top looking into the distance, holding on to the peak of the top stone. It is lovely. Behind it you can see public gardens, with some pink flowers, a mini bandstand and tall palm tree.

I am one of very few female drystone wallers in Scotland & the world. Below are some things I've worked on. I am very often inspired by traditional drystone structures like planticrus and sheep stells and enjoy bringing their beauty and functionality into our modern lives.

For more nerdy stone stuff...

Revisiting the memorial stone of the ‘last woman burned as a witch’ in Scotland in film and archival photos. (‘Janet Horne’ probably never existed but her myth persists because there were so many like her whose lives and deaths went unrecorded.)#AshesAndStones #ScottishWitches #Scotland #ScottishHighlands #FolkHorror #FeministHorror #WomenInHorror #SheWill #JanetHorne #ModernAntiquarian #Witch

An antique photograph in grainy black and white of a rural location. A well dressed family of a woman and three children, two boys and a girl all stand in back of a weathered stone in the ground, a small boulder which is now called the 'Janet Horne' memorial stone. Legend has it this spot represents the location where the 'last witch' was killed in Scotland. A long stone building and piles of lumber are in the background.

No other beach in the whole world is that beautiful ...

#beach

Picture showing the beach in Durness, Scotland (coordinates 58.57°N 4.75°W).

Standing on the high level entrance to the beach, a brown scenic sign with white letters shows "Award Winning Beach" (I love Scottish humor!). It is a beautiful day, blue sea and mostly blue sky, but some grey clouds are hanging around. Ok, it is a really northern part of Scotland.

In the background the really beautiful beach stretches to the horizon, righthand is the Atlantic Ocean, in the water on the beach are lying several big rocks, like up to five meters high. On the left is the smooth, but rocky landscape. On the beach a few people are wandering through the sand.

Strong winds, especially when combined with steep and unstable edges, significantly increases the risk of falling off cliffs when visiting coastal regions.

#Ruins overrun with life: stone, empty windows, greenness.
Dunmore Park House.
#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #Scotland

View up along the stone wall of a ruined building, revealing three rows of window openings, each containing five arched frames. At top is the shell of a stone roof. Leafy plants and trees fill both the inside and the outside of what was once a splendid structure.

Hi folks

Just joined today. I'm a retired Scottish gentleman interested in vintage buses and I hope to post some interesting facts as we go along.

I'm building a website using Hugo and I'm currently visiting transport museums and collecting photographs.

Golfplatzdiplomatie
Golf course diplomacy

#USA #Trump #EU #Scotland #cartoon #karikatur

Karikatur. Szene auf einem Golfplatz. Trump blickt konzentriert in die Fern während er sich vor einem blauen Golfball mit gelben Sternen positioniert hat. Er trägt einen Kilt und ist soweit vorgebeugt, dass die hinter ihm stehende EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Von der Leyen freie Sicht auf seinen Allerwertesten hat. Entsprechend verstört wirkt sie. im Hintergrund sieht man Golfplatzhügel mit mehreren roten Fähnchen, auf denen Zahlen zu lesen sind, wie zum Beispil 40 oder 50.

The Orkneys are a beautiful place ❤️!

The nature is stunning. But there is also a rich history to discover. The German high seas fleet was scuttled here after WW1.

Diving history!

A big spanner down at the turrets of the SMS Bayern.

The Bayern was scuttled on 21 June 1919 by the Germans themselves. The scuttling ended the interment of the German high seas fleet, which began in November 1918.

Thanks to Sergej for the picture and Harvey for pointing out ❤️ !

Always expect the unexpected. What would have been a less than average Timelapse, saved by the sun. I couldn’t be bothered adding title page or music. I might do at some point. The camera battery died on 500 images and missed most of a very nice sunset.

Samhain [sow-wen]: the ancient Celtic festival that marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter — the moment when Beira the Cailleach, Queen of Winter, regains control over the landscape from the Queen of Summer, Brigid. It also marks the moment when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest and the origins of Halloween. Mountain spirits come to the fore at this time of year.
