A view of Montrose (road) Bridge seen from beneath the South Esk Rail Viaduct in October 2022.

The pretty uninspiring road bridge opened to traffic in 2004 and replaced a much more visually interesting structure dating from 1930. The 1430ft long South Esk Rail Viaduct was built by the North British Railway (NBR) in 1881 and carries a single-track section of the Edinburgh-Aberdeen main line.

Yet another image from Gourdon in Scotland… During the week we were there we may have popped into the Harbour Bar once or twice 😜

Monochrome Monday… Aqueduct Cottage, June 2022

Aqueduct Cottage has featured on this blog at least once before, here, coincidentally taken using another tiny point & shoot camera, the Canon Sure Shot Sleek.

The cottage has been extensively restored in the intervening four years and to my eyes is less appealing to photograph but the team behind the restoration has some interesting plans for Peter Nightingale’s cottage.

An image from the archives today (but only recently digitised).

I’m reasonably certain this was taken during an early morning walk from the village of Malham in the Yorkshire Dales to Janet’s Foss, I’m slightly less certain that it was taken on Wifey’s 40th birthday.

As is often the case I’ve no idea of camera, lens, exposure, development…

Something a little unusual today (for me anyway…) Monochrome Monday on 110 film!

The Fujica Pocket 350 Zoom is a quirky little camera and will be described in detail in a future post.
