Aberdeen Art Gallery

Early November, Aberdeen Art Gallery re-opened its doors after a £34.6million redevelopment which has taken nearly four years. There has been a lot of talk over the years, as the cost of the work went way over budget (what doesn't?!).

I was in Aberdeen yesterday, on Black Friday - that was a mistake - I never knew we did Black Friday in the UK!! Anyway, I met a friend for lunch and took an hour to have a quick look around, as I've been dying to do so for weeks. It is lovely and I will go back again when I have more time.

As I wandered around, taking in all the magnificent pieces of art, I looked up to see a man on the glass roof, either cleaning or fixing something. His head was obscured by the steel beam, and I found it rather amusing to see.

So this time around, I give you the man on the roof, and maybe another time I'll give you a piece of art! :-)

St. Andrew's Day today. Have a good one and don't forget your haggis!
this is a work of art, good combo!

Great Photo and I'd love to have some haggis, it has been years! I enjoyed reading about your day and look foreward to seeing a piece of art soon.

The glass to his right looks much cleaner than the glass to his left, so I guess he was cleaning it. Good shot.

Well seen and captured

Definitely cleaning it - you can see the squeegee beside him... good spot.

Great capture

I do not like haggis, so you can have mine, but I will raise a glass to you and yours on this day.

Brave soul! And great POV. And yes we do Black Friday, I hid away all day to avoid it!!

Well caught. Great abstract. Nice choice in b&w.

I truly thought this was a piece of art....I don’t bother with Black Friday....a crazy idea!

Oh my that looks scary!

Great shot after you spotted him or her. Pun was unintentional.

😊😊 I had to zoom in to see this properly.....very interesting perspective.
I haven't been to the new gallery yet but noticed that the Triple Kirks development across the road from it has certainly changed the area for the better. Hope to see the gallery soon.
