Perhaps Scotland's most famous phone box, in the beautiful village of Pennan on the north Aberdeenshire coast. The one actually used in the film "Local Hero", which was partly made in the village in 1983, was a prop placed nearby.

Yes more good news for the shortest day - my heart is positively racing it canna take it 😂
Cranes made a comeback in #Scotland after a 500-year absence. The crane — once a mainstay of medieval banquets — disappeared due to hunting and habitat loss. The birds are now recolonising naturally thanks to the restoration of their wetland habitats by conservationists. This summer up to six breeding pairs were recorded in #Aberdeenshire.

Always expect the unexpected. What would have been a less than average Timelapse, saved by the sun. I couldn’t be bothered adding title page or music. I might do at some point. The camera battery died on 500 images and missed most of a very nice sunset.

After the heavy rains of this morning I happened upon this roe deer sheltering in the woods. We spent a few seconds sizing each other up before it wandered off into the distance #Aberdeenshire#Scotland

Lorna Moon, she liked the ring of it,
transformed from Nora Helen Wilson Low.
Names need to have a resonance, a fit
and this could take her where she yearned to go…

As well as scriptwriting, Moon achieved critical success with her 1929 novel DARK STAR – “an uncompromising picture of rural life… it explores the precarious social structures, sexual instabilities & surface hypocrisies that shape its confines”. It was adapted for the screen as MIN & BILL (1930), starring Marie Dressler & Wallace Beery
