Ancient and Modern, a photo from East Lothian, Scotland

Photographer's Note

I was intrigued by the juxtaposition of the modern aerials and the centuries-old chimneys.
The bunting was celebrating the 3 Harbours Arts Festival this week. I was in Venue 38, the workplace of stonecarver Gardner Molloy. Workshop shows part of his exhibition.

In this aerial view the red circle is between the houses and his yard.

Hi Winifred,
What a fantastic work - the copyright statement on the roof is almost invisible, it does not disturb the picture although it is there, almost in the center of the image. It is not hidden! You are an artist, no doubt!
Hats off!

Oh, this is splendid, Winifred!
Excellent clear color, lovely blue sky in contrast to the dark stones of the buildings, really nice graphics and detail. VERY nicely done! Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly

Hi Winifred,
The central part of this photo is indeed very intriguing with this combination of past and present. When I strted looking at the aerial view I sort of got lost for a while. What is that big factory, with two big chimneys, somewhere to the west of this house?
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi Winifred
It's usual this big contrast but it's sad, I don't like
