Dunottar Castle, Stonehaven.

Today I’d like to share some images from an early morning Sun rise at Dunottar castle in Stonehaven, North east Scotland.

The surviving buildings are largely from the 15th and 16th centuries, but the site is believed to have been fortified in the Early Middle Ages.

Dunnottar is best known as the place where the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels, were hidden from Oliver Cromwell's invading army in the 17th century.

Thanks,

Montrose Old and St Andrews, Church

Hello,

Today I am sharing a couple of images of the Church in Montrose.

I really like how the spire is such a dominating structure along the high street and skyline.

Some information on the structure.

The Old and St Andrew's Church ('Auld Kirk') is a Church of Scotland church in Montrose, Angus. It was dedicated in 1793.

The current steeple, designed by James Gillespie Graham, was completed in 1834.

Thanks

Noord pier IJmuiden

Good morning,

Today is a quick post, where I’d like to share a couple of images of the North Pier in IJmuiden.

A very early rise to cycle to this location, fly my drone, take a couple of snaps and then head back to the hotel to get ready for work.

As you will agree these images are very different from the first time I visited this location.

It is always fun to roll the early morning dice and see if the weather gods help you out.

Thanks,

Lee

Good morning, today I’d like to share some images of the residential block in IJmuiden Netherlands, which formally was a water tower.

The Evertsenstraat Water Supply Complex was a drinking water complex in IJmuiden , belonging to the municipality of Velsen . Of the complex, which is a national monument , a water tower and filter building remain . It was built between 1914 and 1915. The former drinking water supply is located in a park-like environment, which has come to be called the Watertorenpark .

Former Kirkton of Craig, Parish Church

Good morning,

Continuing with my church project, here are some images of a church near to where I work in the tiny village of Kirkton of Craig.

One caveat to my project, during the time taking the images, I realised that this is no longer a place of warship and is now a residential house.

Craig Parish Church was built in 1799 by Richard Crichton, an associate of Robert Adam. It is the earliest Gothic Revival church in Scotland. The church consists of an aisled nave and west tower and is situated in small grounds overlooking Montrose Basin and close to the coastal town. The building shows some interesting transitional details and is A-listed. It went out of ecclesiastical use some time ago and is now a private house.

Thanks,

Lee

Montrose Quay.

Good morning,

Here are a couple of images that were taken early one morning of Montrose Quay.

Who Uses Montrose Port?

As one of the largest Chain and Anchor ports globally and with the world’s largest chain inspection companies, InterMoor and First Marine Solutions, calling it home, Montrose Port is strategically placed to work with supply vessels servicing wind farms, oil rigs and other destinations in the North Sea and far beyond.

They have long been trusted by some of the biggest names in the oil and gas industry as well as the renewables sector, supporting the different stages of their ventures from operations and maintenance to decommissioning.

Thanks,

Good morning.

I like to share some images of Blackpool front.

Blackpool’s sea front, with its dazzling lights and timeless charm, has been a beloved destination for generations. Stretching along the Fylde Coast, Blackpool’s sea front is famous for its piers, the iconic Blackpool Tower, and a lively promenade filled with attractions.

Standing tall since 1894, Blackpool Tower is an enduring symbol of the city’s heritage. As the sun sets, the tower lights up, creating a spectacular sight against the evening sky.
