Re: Dundee, from the Law hill.

They are interesting shots Eileen, have been there but I don't recall it looking like that but do remember it being very cold. When one gets a view like this from above it gives a place a totally different feel, my memories of Dundee are of granite, the river, the bridges and my Irish landlady's terrible soup that always finished up in the long neglected window boxes.

Number one is great because you have got it sharp from foreground to background, excellent.

Thank you, Steve, I did have a play with the saturation, but was getting carried away, and it ended up looking too false!
Had to crop No.1 as the sky was all blown out, but I think it made for a better picture!

Thank you Snapper, Sorry you never had a better experience of Dundee. Did you not get up the law hill to see Dundee in all her glory? Not sure there is much granite here though, that's more characteristic of Aberdeen.

Re: Dundee, from the Law hill.

We were in a tall building facing the river and it was stone although it may have not been granite. Not sure if it had at one time been used for a different purpose but it had loads of flats when I was there a bit like Glasgow but did not have that tenements feel.

Do remember that we had been used to really good food in Scotland but at Dundee we had a lady that must have been Ireland's worse cook so bad in fact she had been ejected from the Emerald Isle and was now inflicting herself on visitors to Scotland.

Sadly did not visit law hill I expect we did not get the time, we had little to spare between work and sleep and our visits were always short.

Re: Dundee, from the Law hill.

Lol you really did not have a good time here in Bonnie Dundee! Think your old land lady should be deported back to the emerald Isle for giving Dundee a bad name!!

Re: Dundee, from the Law hill.

LOL there was nothing wrong with Dundee nor any of Scotland, just the landlady and that was not the fault of the Scots, think someone had told her you could make money from paying guests and the only thing that stuck in her mind was the paying bit, guests we were not.

Have to say we have always enjoyed visiting Scotland, it was only that lady who stuck in my mind and in memory has somewhat removed other memories about the city. She was not alone, we had a landlady as bad if not worse in Blackpool and I find it hard not to think of Blackpool without remembering a fellow "guest" eating the daffodils from the table saying he was starving, I kid you not, someone has since told me they are poisonous well if they are they must be very slow acting.

That stay in Blackpool is the only time I have been accused by a policeman of being dunk and disorderly, I was not drunk but a group of us girls were in hysterics talking about this particular landlady as we walked back from the theatre to the digs that I finished up sitting on the kerb unable to move for laughing and one of the other sat on a garden wall and unfortunately wet herself.
