Another wet and rainy evening in Aberdeen a couple of nights ago so I thought I would take you on a walk around the block (Alans not mine). Just round the corner is the central library, adjoining this St Marks church and finally the newly reopened and refurbished His Majesteys Theatre, celebrating its 100th year in a couple of weeks time.
Rick Mayall appeared here in The New Statesman last week and was seen out back puffing on a cigarrette, chatting on his mobile before a performance, many were disappointed the first two nights as he was unable to appear due to illness.
This was taken from Union Terrace gardens a lovely park in the heart of the city, shown here the Bon Accord coat of arms for the city, above are the buildings mentioned before
This is The Cowdray Hall, they hold afternoon concerts in this building, live classical music during ones lunch break and often the venue for conferences and meetings. This building joins Robert Gordons University and Public School..Heading home back past the theatre, church and library one can see this turret?spire? belonging to Rosemount Parish Church. I love this building as looking up from Alans street this is smack bang in the line of vision, it always reminds me of India for some reason looked at from that perspective.
As you can see without sunshine the granite buildings in Aberdeen loose their sparkle and look quite dismal and dullTo brighten things up the last two were taken a couple of days after on Stonehaven beach ( my patch) A little sunshine, Im definitely not made for city dwelling
