Rabbie at Union Terrace Gardens

Another capture from Union Terrace Gardens in Aberdeen. This time you can see the statue of Rabbie Burns which stands on Union Terrace, and the historic arches which have been refurbished (not sure what they're going to be used for though). The pod/pavillion will be a restaurant or cultural space, I believe, but so far no-one has taken it over.

Looks good in black and white. Rabbie looks as though he is guarding the arches.

Interesting architecture! Ditto be what others have said about composition and B&W. Well done!

Great b&w and composition!

[Kathy]

The b&w brings out the lines and curves, not to mention the silhouetted statue.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

He certainly stands out there- great shot! I'm intrigued by the modern part- maybe a coffee shop would do good there.

[Shutterbug]

Love this architecture shot and the way the statue is framed by the buildings. Nice choice of pov.

[Sally Ings]

I like how the lines of the buildings and the stairs draw your eye to the statue of Rabbie Burns.
