From this morning walkabout, one of a few gateway to the local park.

Week 39 Gates

Gate by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Fuji Dave]

Nice gateway Stan, the bricks look pretty old.

 

[HelenC]

Love the bricked up doorway! No gate there

Nice looking gates, looks very inviting

Love the bricked up doorway! No gate there

Thanks, Dave and Helen. The cathedral nearby dated back to the 13th century and the wall is the northern boundary wall.

Absolutely horrible weather-wise here in Scotland today. It never stops raining all day. So ideal time to take this week's theme.

Love the colours in the reflection on this.

Great colours Stan. Lovely image

 

[Darkslinger]

Two good shots Stan, I like the POV for your gate shot and I find the bricked up doorway to the right intriguing.

Good take on the memory theme.

 

[rpn]

Love the colours in the reflection on this.

Thanks, Kell. Just to add some colour to an otherwise boring item.

Great colours Stan. Lovely image

Thanks, Simon.

Cunning idea using colour on the screen to create the reflection. As usual, super sharp on the detailed bits, and beautiful take off colours reflected on the disk

 

[HelenC]

Great idea... makes a interesting image.

Great lighting to add interest to pic

Upward and onward to week 41.
This 70ft tall obelisk commemorates Sir James McGrigor (1771-1858), a military surgeon who reformed the Army Medical Service, and greatly improved sanitary conditions for soldiers. He went on to become Lord Rector of Marischal College, Aberdeen University.
The obelisk was originally erected in the quadrangle in the college grounds in 1850, but after the extension of the college, was moved to it's current location in south of the city centre to Duthie Park in 1906.

Photo taken late afternoon just before twilight time.

Thanks, Simon. For all the times I've visited the park I've no idea of its history.

 

[Darkslinger]

That's a good shot Stan.
