This morning I have been mainly taking photos around the Castlegate. The council have a webcam on it.
The reason that I went was that I had mentioned the "painted lady" to Tonderai. "When it is a sunny morning", says I, "I'll need to go and photograph her." Today was the day.
I also discovered that I can download, edit (e.g. add photographs) and republish the blog post in Windows Live Writer. Importantly, the post keeps its place in the blog-time continuum. The option is under open.
I took some other shots around the east end of Union Street. Like the statue, where each corner has a mouth, for an old water-spout. What I had never noticed was that each head has 3 noses and other oddities. I wonder if Picasso ever visited Aberdeen? Did he have a grey period?
Always look up in cities, you never now what you might see.
Yes, this too is a "don't forget to look up" lesson, as the rabbit was on an embankment above the pavement.
What surprised me was how busy town was at that time on a Sunday morning.
P.S. editing this with Live Writer was sooo much easier than using Blogger's own editor.

What's wrong with random text anyway?
Thanks, Catherine.
Did I say there was anything wrong with random text? I just commented on the fact that you use it a few times. Nothing wrong with that.
Develop a style, explore it, push the boundaries of your skills. Move on to something else.
I'm exploring light just now, and trying to find accurate combinations of camera settings for different light/subject/location situations. So I chuck away lots of 'failed' photos. But that's the benefit of digital to noobs like me.
PAINTED LADY?! Bloomin' cheek, that is the Goddess Ceres! And I hope she doesn't take offence at your calling her a Painted Lady, because she is the Goddess of Plenty!(She is up there because the building used to be a bank.)
Seriously, it's a good, flattering shot :-) well done!
I know that, but it is easier to describe her as "The Painted Lady". It's all Greek to me anyway!
