Non-Royal Deeside

It’s true of all large ports I guess but it always intrigues me that beautiful rivers can end their journey to the sea through such very industrial landscapes.

South Breakwater Sunset

I wish the lighthouse was larger, the seagull was closer and the ship on the horizon wasn’t so far away. Although, maybe that’s why I like the picture.

Edda Fram : One

I love creating images from my photos that hint at the look & feel of paintings. For this photo of the Edda Fram the soft light of the sky opposite an uninspiring sunset helps set the mood.

Marine Operations Centre

There are particular places and specific buildings in every town & city that, despite being off the main tourist trails, continually attract photographers. They are usually easy to photograph but tricky to photograph in any new or interesting way.

This is my excuse if I’ve over done the effect on this image!

It never fails to amaze me that most of the ships passing in & out of Aberdeen Harbour these days are taller than this impressive building!
