What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Two years ago it was the ‘Granite City’ of Aberdeen and specifically some of the street art to be found there…

We must have walked past the above piece (by Spanish painter Pejac) half a dozen times before I eventually spotted it! Look closely, isn’t it wonderful?
