Goldfinger, Goldmember and Gold........

There have been no sightings of bowler-hatted Korean wrestlers decapitating statues with their hats.  There have been no sightings of strange Dutch roller skating super criminals painting things gold.  There has however been a sighting of an Olympic Gold Medallist.

I'm sure this comes as no news to the people of Lossiemouth but it may be news to the wider world.

There are not many of these across the country I'm delighted to say that there is one in Lossiemouth.  Now the big question of the day...  Who was this postbox painted for?

Update:

We have a winner (well a correct answer ) so thanks Shiela for giving us the answer.

Heather Stanning. Who with Helen Glover won the first gold medal for Britian.

Look Out

Another gloriously sunny and warm day up on the Costa Del Lossiemouth, ( far too sunny to be sat in-front of a computer.. harrumph!) I can hear the Spanish tourist board grinding their teeth in envy.

 A pretty easy one for you all today.  This picture has been taken from a position up on high.  Can you name the spot?

This location looked, until relatively recently, slightly different when it was given a more modern look and a bit of a tidy up.

There will be a follow up posting later if ( when ) someone identifies the place.

Ok, here we go, this will give it away I'm sure.

I didn't want to make it too easy so I've blanked out the name. ( for now )

Harbour Views

Wandering around the town today I stumbled across this very interesting house.  The tower gives it some great views over the harbour and beyond and it's location means that it would have to be very stormy indeed for the water to get to it.  ( even more stormy than earlier in the year )

I'm sure you all know exactly where it is and what it was.  Let's be hearing from you.

Wildlife Rocks!

I'm sure there is a whole raft of history displayed in the lines on this rock, there are probably wise and educated people that would be able to tell a great deal from it, I thought that it looked mildly interesting.    According to some scientists many rocks date back to before the signing of the Magna Carta and they can live for many hundreds of years in the wild.  I can certainly see how something this intricate would take a long time to put together at any rate.

It is funny what you notice when you roam the place with a camera in your pocket that you wouldn't normally( i've mentioned this before I know), I don't want to spoil you all and throw all the pictures up at once though.

It would appear that I'm going to have to keep working on the webcam, it doesn't seem to be feeding the pictures to the web automatically so the rolling pictures will have to be updated manually.   (unless any of you fine people are computery and know of some good software to make it work )  I would of course prefer it to simply add in each new photo as it takes them but that doesn't seem to be an option at the minute.  I'll keep rooting around.

Web Cam. What Web Cam.

Well I have the web cam connected to a computer and it's looking out over the East beach, so hopefully the wildlife will frolick happily on the beach for the amusement of us all. It's been a while since I've seen a seal basking on the beach but there are herons ( I think they're herons, they look herony/ish)  fishing away quite regularly.

All I have to do now is work out how to connect the pictures it's picking up into the blog.  I won't be giving you a streaming video as I think that would test the patience of my ISP but I will be looking to set it up to give shots at regular periods.
