Bravo!

Poster stuff!

(Even better than that tennis girl scratching her bum...)

The flip side of all this was when, circa 1987/8, oil dropped to USD10/barrel and Aberdeen caught a cold.

Fab sky. And it's dreadful to think but the place won't look the same without these man-made structures. Nice shot! 1-2-3

Saw it today; the Firth will look better without it! But it has a most beautiful photo to be remembered by.

Nice shot.

Saw these rigs here in the summer. An awesome sight. The firth will look better without them, I think, but a memorable sight and memorable image to mark their passing.

Beautiful picture. How come they're moving, are they going elsewhere for their repairs?

What a wonderful composition. We haven't had one parked out here for ages now. You used to be always guaranteed to see at least one in the Forth but not anymore.
