Albert Hotel, North Queensferry
Fujifilm X-T1, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 20mm, 1/680s, f16, ISO 1600

Six years ago it was this statue of Desperate Dan from the much missed comic The Dandy.
Created by artists Tony and Susie Morrow the statue stands on High Street in Dundee, home to DC Thomson, the publisher of both The Dandy and The Beano (whose character Minnie the Minx can be seen in the background aiming her catapult at Dan!)

Five years ago it was Leawood Pumphouse near Cromford in Derbyshire.
The Grade II* listed building dates from 1949 and houses a Watt-type beam engine that pumped water from the River Derwent to the Cromford Canal until 1944 when the canal closed. The Pump House was restored in 1979 by the Cromford Canal Society and the engine is steamed periodically.

I’m finishing off 2022 with a suitably wintry image from New Year’s Day 2017.
Here’s wishing you all a happy and healthy 2023.
