Chris Nixon has posted a doc:

2008 Challenge #16: The Brig o' Balgownie has been closed to traffic for a good few years. The locals can sometimes be a bit 'nippy' about photographers. I think they want to keep it a secret.

Chris Nixon has posted a doc:

2008 Challenge #14: We were treated to some April snow showers. Nothing more than a couple of inches, but still fun.

There has definitely been less snow in Aberdeen over the last few years. I wonder if that is part of global warming...or just one of those things.

2008 Challenge #6: Footdee (pronounced Fittie) is a small fishing village beside the harbour in Aberdeen where my mother lives. They hang their sheets on the line in a special way so they won't blow away.

2008 Challenge #5 : Since March 2006, Smoking has been banned in all work places. While a lot of people have given up the habit, you'll still find emergency exits with people just having a "quick fag break" in all weathers.

2008 Community Challenge: Week 4. This is the Balgownie mobile (cell) phone transmitter, a short walk from my house. I drive past it every day, but this is the first time I've thought to turn my lens towards it.

Chris Nixon has posted a doc:

2008 Community Challenge: Week 3. Mindless grafitti can blight areas of of our towns and cities, but sometimes it's so lame it makes me chuckle. This is a bus stop I run past every day. I think it's right up there with the "Get Lost" spray painted on a near-by fence. These kids need to get a bit more creative.

Chris Nixon has posted a doc:

2008 Community Challenge: Week 2. A little delayed. Aberdeen is a harbour city, and this is the new building that makes sure all the ships get in and out of the harbour safely. It sits at the end of the beach, and at the mouth of the harbour, dominating the skyline.
