Broughty Castle

29 July 2004

100.
After working all morning (yes, I actually did), I stopped to make lunch for myself and Liam at about 1pm. My intention was always to do more work in the afternoon, but Liam was playing Sim City 4 on his PC, and he asked me to help him with something... Fatal. Have you any idea just how addictive that game is? I started building airports, railway networks, police stations and roads. Before I knew it, my city's population had more than trebled, and the grateful citizens were wanting to build a statue of me! Just as I was getting settled in, and began building a motorway to link my city (and airport) with Liam's city, the doorbell rang. I looked at my watch... it was 6pm, and Linda was back with a car load of shopping! Had time for something to eat, then drive Liam to his guitar lesson, giving me 40 minutes to get to Broughty Ferry to strike another Castle off my list. Not as much work done as I had hoped what with the swanning about and urban planning. But, hey, my city is boomtown, and I'm certain to be re-elected!

Looking to your castle pics, I remember why I love Scotland... How lucky you are in Scotland to have so many nice spots. I love ruins (and non-ruin) castles !

Very well captured! Is the right side (facing castle) that pinkish colour? Or is that from reflection of Sky?

The hues are wonderful in this, but is it as lonely as it appears here ?

This is beautiful! It looks like a fairy-tale castle! The colour of the sky adds to the fantsy! Very nice!

Looks like a postcard...

A wonderful structure; wow, and look at that sky! Terrific color!

This is very magical looking.

Stewart, this almost looks like a drawing or painting the way the edges outline the rest of the castle. Sky is so soothing. Use this one as your base in the next 'Sim'?

Defensive castle, I like the color of the evening sky

With all that wealth & power, maybe you can bring Zidane to Parkhead. This is a lovely photo Stewart. I like the tone of the sky in particular. I've a good friend who has moved to Broughty Ferry, so it's nice to know what the locality looks like.

Cool photo, but what's that coloured thing on the right? Enjoy yourself in Sin City ;-)

Interesting color of sky. It is indeed a rather stark edifice; don't suppose the architect of this one had any nice fairy tales in mind.

It's a severe looking castle, very business like! I wouldn't like to try and attack it...

Robin Reid		29-Jul-2004 22:35
Funny story ... I've been there with that type of game. Very, very nice castle image. I like the sky, also.

Robin Reid		29-Jul-2004 22:35
Reelected to what?????

Jill		29-Jul-2004 22:25
Laughing at your story..you did manage to capture this brilliant photograph during the process..it is no wonder you will be re elected as mayor of sim city.
