Stadhuis, city hall, van Velsen, IJmuiden, Netherlands, holland

Good morning,

Today here are a couple of images of the City Hall of IJmuiden. I liked how this building has a different style to the rest of the Dutch aesthetic in the local area.

Thanks,

Zuidpier, IJmuiden.

Good morning,

Here are some images which were worth the wait. I have previously posted a grey dull morning in this location. This is a perfect example of why you should revisit the same site as the weather and light make all the difference.

I hope that you enjoyed the early morning drone images.

I would love to see your drone photos.

Thanks

North Pier, IJmuiden at early sunrise, Netherlands

Good morning,

Whilst working out in the Netherlands, I was setting my alarm to get up earlier than when I was due to work to catch the sunrises. I hired a bicycle from the hotel so that I could reach further places.

These images are not what I set out to achieve, but I do enjoy them.

In true landscape style, it is a roll of the dice and down to the weather gods.

Thanks.

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,

Blackpool Promenade.

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.

Annan House Aberdeen

While I am now spending 75% of my time in Aberdeen.

I am out documenting some buildings and offices of Aberdeen.

So today I start with Annan House which EnQuest and WorleyParsons occupy in the city centre. Early morning it catches the sun beautifully.

Completed in 2015 this eight storey building provides 120,000ft2 of grade ‘A’ office space. This building has led to the physical regeneration of a neglected and run down area of the City and also act as a catalyst in generating additional long-term economic activity for the Aberdeen harbour area and city in general.

I hope that you have a good weekend.

All the best

Robert Gordon University.

Hello,

Hows things?

Thats us well into 2020 now..

Here are some images of Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University.

“Omni Nunc Arte Magistra”

“Now by all your mastered arts”

Robert Gordon University, commonly called RGU, is a public university in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland.

The university derives from Robert Gordon's Hospital, an institution set up in the mid-18th century to provide the poor with a basic education and reasonable start in life, and the various educational institutions which developed in Aberdeen to provide adults with technical, vocational and artistic training, mostly in the evenings and part-time. Following numerous mergers between these establishments, it became Robert Gordon's Technical College in 1910, then following further developments became Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology in 1965 and began to conduct increasing amounts of research and provide degree-level education (by now mostly offering day classes to full-time students). Finally, it became a university in 1992.
