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,

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

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.
Lee
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,
Lee
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.

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.

Hello,
I hope that you have had a good week.
I want to share with you an image of the One O’clock gun at Edinburgh Castle.
What is the One o’Clock gun?
The firing of the gun dates back to 1861, when businessman John Hewitt brought the idea to Edinburgh from Paris. It’s now an Edinburgh tradition, but the one o’clock gun originally came into being out of necessity over 150 years ago. It has been 158 years since the first audible indication of the time was made during bad weather at Edinburgh Castle. The citizens of Edinburgh, as well as the ships docked in the ports of Leith and Firth of Forth over two miles away, were able to hear the signal, quickly making it a curious visitor attraction. With an electric cable stretching over 4,000 feet from the rear of the gun to the Royal Observatory on Calton Hill, the original 18-pound gun was operated via a mechanical trigger at precisely 1pm each day apart from Sunday, Good Friday and Christmas Day. The 94-pound artillery weapon was provided by the Royal Artillery. The weapon of choice is now a L118 Light Gun. This particular weapon has been in service approximately 15 years, and is traditionally fired by a volunteer District Gunner from the 105th Regiment Royal Artillery.
Have a good weekend.

Hello,
This is the Lecropt Kirk Parish, Church of Scotland 🏴.
What an Amazing building, and interesting contrast between the old and modern.
It was built in 1825 now with the M9 adjacent.
Bonus random fact for you, the founder of the special air service (SAS) Major David Stirling was from Lecropt.
Have a great weekend
Lee
