Colours by the bucketful

An arresting and very colourful display of….er, buckets, outside a shop in St Andrews.
Pointing the finger

This rock formation in St Andrews juts out accusingly into the North Sea.
Alma mater

This is one of the many fine, typically Scottish stone buildings that form the estate of St Leonard’s School in St Andrews, my daughter’s eye-wateringly reassuringly expensive boarding school all those years ago.

The best you can say about these windows is that they let the light in.
Along with everything else.
This tower is part of the ruins of the medieval castle in St. Andrews.

Lobster Pots
Posted on April 8, 2020
One of the possible subjects for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is ‘fishing items’.

This anonymous dog-walker, lost in his own thoughts but with his faithful pet loyally tagging along, may not even have noticed the exceptionally blue sea on a perfect autumn day at St Andrews harbour – nor all the other people with their dogs that surrounded him: at a respectful, privacy-preserving, distance, of course.
Ladder
Posted on September 1, 2017
The theme for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week is ‘Shadows’. This is the top of a ladder which allows sailors to step down into their boats from the jetty at Saint Andrews harbour, in Scotland. The low, bright sunlight casts strong shadows on and from the freshly painted metalwork – too red not to apply some selective colour to the image.
