Good to see you offering a set of images, Brian. Lots to look at. One of them reminds me of an auld Scots joke: Kid: "Whaur's Santa fae?" Teacher: "New Mexico".

I do like the tone of these a lot. The weather looks very hot, in stark contrast to my day at Portobello (or Portly Belly, as we say) beach.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Or was it: Teacher: "Whaur's Santa Fé?" Pupil: "Lapland". Probably that!

 

[Pete Askew]

I agree, and a fine set too. What caused those line though? Scanner?

My favourite is 'Information', especially the whale - she won't know what got her!

And that hat is looking cool!

"Whaur's Santa fae?" Teacher: "New Mexico". I'm tempted to say I don't get it.



Thanks Rob. It was indeed a warm day.

I don't get this one either.

Thanks Pete.

I think the scanner caused the line, Pete. I'll check the negs, though.

What whale?

 

[Pete Askew]

The Orca closing in on the information booth! You were lucky it didn't get you.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Fé = from!

It's Dundonian for frae...

Och,...an orca is a dolphin!* You had me looking for a whale and wi' your eagle eyes I though for sure I was missing something!



* Although, I will admit that technically dolphins are of the whale family.

Same in Ru'glen. "Fe," no frae.

Yes, we have both the santa, looks very much like a Scotsman I've seen. And we have fairy fayes too!

Great series well done Brian.
