Hi all ๐๐ป
Today I want to share some of my RECENT #adventures of traveling in #scotland with you in the form of a walk to see some โMETAL SCULPTURES along the sea frontโ ~ in STONEHAVEN, SCOTLAND ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
We are still โon the roadโ ๐ towards our final destination ๐๐ค soon we will reach it. Along the way, we visit amazing beautiful places. Today I share this walk with you from #Stonehaven, the seafront to be precise.
With this post Iโm joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.
โผ๏ธHave a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in! if you want to joinโฆ the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at the following post : โWednesday Walk Clasky Commonโ
It will tell you also the rules of joining in at the Wednesday walk posts ๐
Todayโs selection will be of 24 photographs, where I take you along on a visit to see some โSCULPTURES along the sea frontโ ๐โ๏ธ
It was a remarkable beautiful #sunny day ๐ loved it.
I visited this town last Monday on 9 January 2023.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone ๐ฑ๐ค
I will follow the time stamps on my photographs. So it looks like you are walking along with me on this #walk along the #seafront, to see the metal #sculptures ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป #discovering everything, like the little #details seen through my eyes. ๐
Let me show you first its location on Google maps, see the yellow star โญ๏ธ :
Zooming out, you see Stonehaven just below Aberdeen.
Letโs start our WALK now:
Are you coming along? ๐๐
After parking the carโฆ my look to the left. We are at the far end of the town. (the top) And we will walk all along it towards the harbour.
The direction of where we will walk towards.
Next to us we find this sign ๐
Another look back.
Suddenly I see this #DOLPHIN ๐ฌ I had to take a picture of course. Still so happy I reached dolphin status in 11 months ๐
The boulevard changed into a boardwalk and I see suddenly next to it sculptures. Thatโs rather interesting. I didnโt know they were here. So I go slowly past them to show you what I saw. ๐
The first little #boat we seeโฆ
Look at the little details ๐ค๐ how cool is this. A golfing ๐๐ป fish ๐ hahahaha ๐
Underneath it has a little sign and tells us:
Next a sailing boat โต๏ธ Itโs so cute โบ๏ธ
A fishing boat with some well known characters. Do you see #spongebob ?
Another boatโฆ
A smaller one with lobsters ๐ฆ catching stones ๐๐
A #viking shipโฆ
Seen from the front ๐ค Such a great dragon ๐
A view towards the town of STONEHAVEN ๐
Next we see a #seaplane ๐
The sign tells us: โit is a NORWEGIAN SEAPLANE and it landed in Stonehaven bay in 1940โ
Letโs have a closer look:
Such detailsโฆ
Next I see an octopus ๐
Another angleโฆ itโs a table in front of a bench. ๐
And to finish our walk along the seafront of Stonehaven I show you a detail shot of the lighthouse ๐
And I say:
thatโs all for todayโs post my friends, join me next time for more #adventures, #stories and #photographs ๐๐๐ป Even some #artworks once in a while will come by ๐จ

Have a great day

Beautiful images, such wonderful scenery, and those sculptures are amazing! I haven't been to Stonehaven myself, one to add to this year's travel list! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you kindly ๐ itโs a cute town with a beautiful path along the sea. And a great restaurant, at the far (top) end of the town, it was called Mollyโs cafe bar.
Happy to share. Have a great evening!
What a wonderful walk this is! There had been many things to see and they are so fun too. I couldn't help getting amused on seeing the golfing fish and another one maneuvering a boat! What a great work of imagination! Glad to have caught up with this post of yours today :)
Happy weekend and safe travels!
Thank you so much for joining me on this walk and seeing the sculptures. The golfing fish was indeed very funny.
Thank you so much, have a wonderful week further ๐๐ป๐

The dolphin is so cute but the boats are too. Especially the viking boat, that's my fav from your photos! :)
A lovely walk you had and it's so sunny!! ๐
It was so sunny, truly lovely. Imagine the fresh crisp airโฆ such a difference.
Yepโฆ loved the viking boat too. Such a cool sculptures along the coast. It was great to find them.
Thanks for checking them out @mipiano ๐๐ป๐ have a good night and enjoy your Thursday โ๏ธ๐บ
So lovely. Lots of peebles. Are those small stones on the shores?
Thank you so much @shula14 ๐๐๐ป
This beach and surroundings was a combination of fine sand and small pebbles. Some big boulders too.
It was a great place to explore.
Have a nice weekend โ๏ธ๐บ
I see. The beach in our place has fine sand too, but the sand is grey.
Thatโs nice too, I was once in Guadeloupe and the sand was in different areas a different colour. From white, to golden sand to black from the volcano.
Have a great week further ๐๐ป๐
Cool! Here in our province, we're in the same coast in other towns, but in the western part has white sand, in our place fine gray sand, while others have black sand.
Oh thatโs coolโฆ also such a difference.
Have a wonderful day further ๐๐ป๐ enjoy it!
!PIZZA
Thank you so much. Enjoy your weekend. ๐
Oh, how absolutely fascinating! I love how Scotland is just so full of stories, everywhere you look. Such a magical place!
Thank you so much ๐
Itโs stunning and full of magic ๐๐ will share more soon ๐

Hi, @littlebee4! You are doing well on your journey so far... Yes, I have been sitting down now and caught up on your journey with your latest posts. Some beautiful scenes that you have captured along the way. The accommodation you are using along the way also looks very nice, cozy, and comfortable. Very neat.
And today you share some more special photos with us. I love the sculptures in this post (even after looking at those huge 30-meter-high sculptures in Part 2).
I hope you don't mind me referring to your other posts from this comment here on this post...
Thank you for sharing all these beautiful scenes with us!
Hi @jacoalberts ๐๐ป๐ thank you so much for checking out my posts of our journey, and it is perfectly fine to answer them all here. It saves you a bit of time ๐๐ค
The journey is going well so far, I hope to post part 4 soon. Tomorrow morning we travel to the next location again ๐ and after thatโฆ hopefully we can finally travel to the end destination ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป If all goes wellโฆ so soonโฆ you know where I end up ๐ค
The scenery is so beautiful and it takes my breath away sometimes.
We crossed some mountains with snowโฆ icy roads tooโฆ to go to weโre I am now. My internet connection isnโt good to upload and edit photos from my camera. So I hope tomorrow the next location is better and I can post the next part ๐
Some accommodations were really good, better than expected. We are now in a cottage along the forest and the next one will be a wooden cabin right in the middle of nature ๐ should be fun ๐คฉ
We were lucky with the accommodations so far ๐คฉ
Happy I could share these amazing sculptures with you, along with the Kelpies ๐ค I love metal sculptures. They are great to see and observe.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend ๐๐ป๐
Take care!
!LUV
I love following your journey! It is so interesting! And, as you have pointed out too, the areas that you are traveling through, are really beautiful!
I am looking forward to seeing your end destination...but in the meantime...I'm just enjoying the journey๐๐!
The mountains with snow must surely be beautiful... Icy roads...? That can be dangerous.
What you say about your accommodation being better than expected can be seen in your photos. You are staying over in really beautiful places. A wooden cabin right in the middle of nature sounds like great fun! I hope you'll be able to share some photos of it. I would love to see the cabin.
Yes, I can see why you love metal sculptures. They are unique!
You must also enjoy your weekend, @littlebee4!
Enjoy the rest of your journey! Travel safe and stay !ALIVE
Thank you so much @jacoalberts ๐๐ป๐and believe me it will get better the scenery. ๐๐
Just like me. Iโm enjoying the journey.
We got a rental property next week. Weather permitting it depends on what day we could move it. As the truck is already delayed with our belongings, due to bad weather. And the trip to this rental could also be a bit delayed due to weatherโฆ you will know why, when I show our last journey and destination.
The rental we havenโt even seen in real life. So we rented it unseen hahaha ๐คฃ such an adventure ๐คฉ
I have some epic snowy mountain photos, just need a better internet connection to upload them. Iโm struggling really at the moment to even make a comment. It takes forever.
I will go out tomorrow in daylight and take some photos of this wooden cabin. We just arrived in the dark. I believe on these grounds they have 8 holiday cabins. As far as I can see there are 2 occupied right now. From the ones I see.
I will enjoy it all further my friend. You too have a wonderful weekend!
Talk soon ๐๐ป๐
Is the scenery getting even better...? I can't wait to see that!
Getting into the rental property sounds like an adventure on its own...๐๐๐! Moving into the property without seeing it... The truck is being delayed with your belongings...Your own trip to the rental property could also be delayed... Wow, as I say, an adventure within an adventure...lol!
Battling with your internet connection...but then you look around you and you see all the snowy mountains and the beauty that surrounds you, and it becomes part of the adventure!
I'm looking forward to seeing your photos of the cabin!
Enjoy the rest of your trip/adventure, @littlebee4!
Talk soon๐๐๐!
Yep it isโฆ ๐๐๐ค
Sorry for my late reply, I had no mobile reception and the internet is so badโฆ canโt really upload any photos. Will try today and tomorrow ๐
And it was, we arrived and not a day to late. We could drive up the hill in the snow, the next day we would not have managed. So luckily it went all well.
Better weather predicted next week, so hope the truck can come than. This week was a no go unfortunately.
Indeed, looking around us where we are, seeing the sceneryโฆ just epic and like winter wonderland now โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
I even build a snowman today hehehe will share soon too ๐ค
Got the photos from the area and the cabin. So that will be in part 5 post. Need to hurry up with part 4.
Thank you so much @jacoalberts ๐๐ป๐ I didโฆ every moment.
Talk soon โ๏ธ
No problem at all!
Wow! That sounds great! I'm glad that you arrived safely! Now it's just to get the truck up there as well!
Wow! Winterwonderland you say... It really sounds beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing some photos of your snowman...lol!
I am also working at a snail's pace at the moment...having some internet issues with the internet being extremely slow at times...well...it was slow most of the time today...and I'm not even between the beautiful mountains like you...lol.

Oops, I commented too quickly in the other one, I see there is no update yet!
Awesome photographs nonetheless. These are some awesome sculptures! Really fascinating.
I see this is very close to St Andrews! Golfing nerd I am I really want to travel there and play the old course.
Anyways, I hope you are well!
Hahaha ๐คฃ ๐ค all goodโฆ. Now there isโฆ
It is indeed, well spotted.
Hubby is a golfer too ๐ hope you can play there one day.
I am well and we arrived safely at our destination. โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ Will post soon where it is. Part 6 of the journey. Will have to post 5 first thoughโฆ so I will keep you in suspense a bit longer ๐
Have a wonderful evening ๐๐ป
!PIZZA
Hopefully, he will also be able to play there, as you are very close! At least, closer than me. My brother, who loves in the south of England, wants me to "just fly over" and come play with him on St Andrews, but the cost is literally everything I have in the savings account! It is crazy expensive.
Oh suspense is the best! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend!
Not so close by anymoreโฆ but I am sure he will go there one day. You are right, we are closer by than you.
Yesโฆ it is crazy expensive and you canโt just fly over and spend all your savings. Hope one day you canโฆ letโs hope crypto takes of a bit more then ๐ค๐ค๐ป
Thank you so much, I had thank you. Our belongings arrived finally after more than a month not have seen them. The truck could get up after the snow and ice ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ
So busy unpacking and organising. Hope your weekend was nice too and you had a great start of the new week. Enjoy it further ๐๐ป๐
Oh snap, but I am sure there are some stunning courses near by that he can play!
Organising can be fun! I hope all of your belongings arrived safely! Many of our things were stolen when we moved. Such a shame. And some of the things got hurt badly.
Enjoy the organising!
There areโฆ he will have to check them out.
Luckily nothing stolen, but got broken items when boxes were squashed ๐คจ or wrongly transported. Things like a compressor put on itโs side, even though it says what way up. Have to find the oil to test it if it is still ok for my airbrushing.
Havenโt unpacked everything yetโฆ so still have to check more.
Such a shame when movers are not careful, in your and my case.
Thanks a lot!
Have an awesome weekend ๐๐ป๐
Oh that is so frustrating, people are so selfish sometimes. But it is also understandable sometimes when you know what movers get paid. At least here in South Africa they are paid minimum wage which is sometimes less than two dollars per hour. It is no wonder that they do not care about their job. But this is only the case here! Hopefully, it is better there.
Best of luck with testing the equipment. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be.
Nice sculptures at the beach Jackie, when I saw the dolphin I was going to ask you didn't it remind you of being a dolphin on Hive and you mentioned it ๐
It was so great to see all those sculptures. Very beautiful location at that beach in a little town.
Hehehe ๐คญ niceโฆ same thoughts there ๐๐
Enjoy your evening Joe, hope it isnโt too stressful. How is it going?
A rather nice evening it has been, watching a podcast. ๐
Have a good night Jackie. ๐
Thatโs great to hear Joe ๐ enjoy further!
Thanks, good night for later too ๐๐ป๐ด
Wow! I can see how the honor fishing as an important way of life here. Just looking at those sculptures gives us an idea how people are in this place. The dolphin sculpture is meant for you. Haha. Enjoy the travels. Keep safe.
Thanks a lot @bluepark ๐๐ป๐ will doโฆ it is such an epic trip ๐
Yes, fishing is so important for this town. We saw it everywhere.
Happy I could share these sculptures with you.
Hehehe it was meant to be ๐ฌ
Thanks! Have a wonderful week further!
OMG!!!!!
Those metal statues are outstanding, never seen anything like them before, amazing artwork.
Are we nearly there yet?
Thanks @grindle ๐ they were such a great find. Loved observing them and seeing all details. Such a cool sculptures/ art works.
Nopeโฆ not yet. Iโm in the Cairngorms (center of Scotland) now and have 2 more journeys ๐ but thatโs almostโฆ if you see how many I already did. ๐
Have a great evening!

WOW I loved this walk and post those sculptures are all amazing, it took me a while to scroll through stopping to look at the cool detail of all the statues
I think my favorites have to be the dolphin and the lighthouse
Thanks for joining the Wednesday, its always fun for me to visit the walks from all around the world, getting a feel for communities where people live and what they see on their daily walks
Thank you so much @tattoodjay ๐๐ป๐ it was such a great find, and so many with so much details. Funny too.
The lighthouse is very cool. Thanks for picking your favourites.
Happy to join in. Have a wonderful evening ๐๐ป๐
an amazing find, must be so much fun walking and exploring there seeing all those unique pieces of ART
Thanks, it is and I truly love every moment from it ๐๐ exploring is the best thing.
I saw so many things already I never have seen before. Will share soon ๐
Happy Thursday ๐๐ป
This is really cool. I know Stonehaven and have driven past it many times, but only stopped in it twice, and only went to the harbour, so never knew these sculptures existed - how cool is that ! Now I'll have to check it out !
