TAKE INTERMITTENT NINETEEN

I wrote about the art of El Anatsui over at DoWY bloggy. Here are a couple of shots that were not shared there. The patience and skill required to create these 'flowing fabrics' is exhausting to thing about!

TAKE INTERMITTENT EIGHTEEN

Dawn over the North Sea...

TAKE INTERMITTENT SEVENTEEN

TAKE INTERMITTENT SIXTEEN

At The Hermitage, Dunkeld... there will be many more views over on the DoWY blog!

TAKE INTERMITTENT FIFTEEN

"Sea Beams" by Duncan Urquhart. These are at Dysart, Fife. The artist is from Perth and the trees hewn for the work were grown in Perthshire. Each beam is from a single tree. It was installed in 2009 and is ageing well, faced as it is with the onslaught of a coastal climate.

TAKE INTERMITTENT FOURTEEN

As time progresses, I realise that the majority of my photographs are now appearing on the DoWY bloggy anyway and that there would be little difference added here. I will continue with these monthly posts for this year, but I will have to make a firm decision then whether to cease posting here and dedicate to the single blog or return to regular daily posting here if I can make proper points of difference. Thanks to those of you who have remained here... and if you haven't followed the other blog, please do think of doing so!

This was shot from the shores of St Andrews, Fife. Storm Kathleen had been raging, so I guess these vessels were anchored for safety.

TAKE INTERMITTENT; THIRTEEN

Visiting Nobby and Gail in Aberdeen has been one of the several highlights of my trip out in The Grey.

TAKE INTERMITTENT TWELVE

Sub-zero temps are no deterrent to a swim in the Clyde for these young gulls! Larus Argenteus, Herring Gull. At the front, two with second winter plumage; at the back, third winter.
