The Stream Meets the Sea
Join me on the beach at Portsoy, Scotland where the stream that flows down from the hills crossed the beach and flows into the sea.

The Sound of Portsoy Beach
Join me and listen to the waves crashing onto Portsoy beach. Portsoy is in Aberdeenshire, Scotland and was the setting for a Peaky Blinders episode last year. Portsoy has some wonderful walks in and around this most delightful town. The harbour is also well worth a visit. By the way, I used my panoramic microphone (1 dish, two mics) to record the sound.

This image taken way past midnight. Up here in the north of Scotland and, at this time of the year, the sun tries to stay with us for most of the day…

The Rock Pool Diaries (5): The rock pools at low water…
Probably the best time to visit the beach. When the tide is out, all is revealed!
The Rock Pool Diaries (4) – The spinach seaweed…
Again, this seaweed probably has a proper name…but it looks like spinach to me!
The Rock Pool Diaries (2) – The colourful rocks…
Colorful if you’re in the US! Rocks in the bottom of rock pools here in Banff, Scotland. Wonderful colours and plenty of sea snails hiding between the rocks.
The Rock Pool Diaries (1) – The Moonscape!
It looks like the surface of the moon but I think (but don’t know) that these little critters who live on the rocks down on the beach are barnacles. Somebody will, I’m sure, correct me if I am wrong.
The Rock Pool Day
I have a 100mm lens that I hardly ever use but I took it for a spin on the beach today and took photographs in the rock pools when the tide was out. And so, get ready for the rock pool and dog series!

The Missing Wheels
After this posting, there was some debate about where the front wheels for this crane truck were. This image solves the mystery. The front wheels are set back and, in front of the front wheel assembly, there are the extendable jacks which keep the truck from tipping over when the crane part of the truck is lifting heavy weights.

The Other Wonky Ladder + Foot and Hand Holes
I’m guessing that the wonky ladder came later. The foot and hand holes next to the ladder were probably there before the ladder was installed. Must have been hard work chiselling out the holes. I believe the blocks are made of granite…

The Big Red Trawler
You’ll have to take my word for it that BF515 (BF for home port Banff, Scotland) is red (and white) but she is, and she’s being fitted out in MacDuff Harbour. In this image, it is low water and Big Red is resting on the harbour bottom.
