Another fine day in the north east, with a spattering of rain later on. I love how the sky and sea change colour and shape.
And more fine entertainment at the @weegaitherin festival. Here’s a shot of @shugmcmillan on fine form tonight.
ALT Dusk at Stonehaven harbour. Boats on the sand, stone steps, buildings silhouetted against peach and blue sky

Loved Afrique en Cirque today at the Fringe. Definitely worth a visit. Brilliant playing, drumming and dancing. tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o… @edfringe
