I recently edited the footage Genie and I shot in the autumn of 2011 of Perthshire sculptress Debbie Dobson. We both like the final result and hope that you will too! Features cool soundtrack music by Tracing Arcs (The Go-Between).
Yesterday Phil and I walked by the Tay to the Hilton, where we joined a few friends. We were there to see the commemorative bench and newly planted tree from family and friends of Gordon McNeill-Wilkie. It’s a wonderful time of the year to be walking alongside the river Tay, and if you fancy trying out the new bench it’s by the swimming pool.
Here’s a few photos I took on the day.
Most of you will know that Gordon McNeill-Wilkie passed away peacefully on the morning of 23rd March. There was a get-together up at Lethendy on Sunday 17th April, which was well attended. Many of the people gathered there to celebrate his life were still in a state of shock, and I think I have to include myself amongst them. I do realise, though, that Gordon is still with us in spirit.
Here’s that wonderful poem he left us with:
Eons ago we forged this tryst
At a different place in time
Knowing that love would always unite us
Two beings of light entwined
Two halves of one, both finding the joy
That only soul love can define
The links in a chain that can never be broken
By darkness, nor death, nor all time
Gordon McNeill-Wilkie
I have finally edited my footage of the fireworks display which celebrated the 200th anniversary of the opening of Dunkeld Bridge. And here’s the movie, just in time for the 202nd anniversary!
Many of you will remember how windy it was that day. There was some doubt as to whether the fireworks display would go ahead, yet hundreds of us turned up at Dunkeld Cathedral in the evening. Blast Design, who put on the display, also provided the climax to the Perth 800 festivities on 26th November 2010. Here are a couple of photos Genie took that snowy evening on Tay Street, Perth.
