Montrose Old and St Andrews, Church

in ,

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.

Noord pier IJmuiden

in ,

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

in ,

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,

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.

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.

FRIARTON BRIDGE

Hello,

Today id like to share an image of the Friarton Bridge in Scotland.

With me working in Aberdeen and travelling the 350 miles each weekend home, i have driven over the bridge numerous times and the scale over the amazing Scottish landscape has always been a nice part pf the journey.

Friarton Bridge Is a steel box girder bridge with a concrete deck, across the River Tay on the southeastern outskirts of Perth, Scotland. The bridge was designed by Freeman Fox and Partners with the team being led by Dr Oleg Kerensky. The bridge was a pair of steel box girders (one under each carriage way) 4.3 m wide overlaid by a lightweight concrete deck. It forms part of the eastern spur of the M90 between junctions 10 (Craigend) and 11 (Broxden), the most northerly motorway junction in the UK. It also forms part of the important east coast road corridor from Edinburgh through to Dundee and Aberdeen. It was the first large box girder bridge to be built to the Merrison Rules which were introduced in 1973 after the collapse during construction of three box girder bridges during the 1970s. The bridge was strengthened during the 2000s to cope with modern traffic loadings.

Have a good weekend.
