What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

15 years ago it was Another Place by Antony Gormley at Crosby beach on Merseyside.

I remember being somewhat underwhelmed by the sculptures and quickly turned my attention to the passing ships.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Four years ago it was Seacliff Beach and Auldhame Castle in East Lothian.

Auldhame Castle dates from the 16th century and although now a ruin it is still an impressive structure overlooking the Firth of Forth. Not much is known about Auldhame’s history, it is somewhat overshadowed by its near neighbour Tantallon Castle.

Some more Fujichrome from 2001 for today’s Slide Film Sunday.

I think both images are from the same day in September and as usual I’ve no idea of which camera, lens or exact film stock were used!
