Apr 3: Vilamoura, Portugal. Bread and Butter for many aerial photographers, but I live in Scotland. Parasols on the beach are unusual! Rig04 & mini KAPilot.
Apr 5: Vilamoura Beach and Cliff. Two walkers approach the cliff edge, unaware of the overhang they are standing on. Rig04 & mini KAPilot.
Apr 24: Boat Lift, Granton. As summer approaches the boats go back in the water, after a winter of care and maintenance. Rig04 & Dopero.
May 11: Falkirk Stadium. Home of Falkirk Football (Soccer) Club, this green-field site to the north east of the town makes an ideal KAP location with open ground around the stadium. Rig04 & Dopero.
May 11: Falkirk Fairground Wheel. Even at 45m high I still couldn't top-out the big wheel, just completed. Other attractions as the fairground came to town are still being constructed in the background. Rig04 & Dopero.
Jul 18: Stones of Stenness, Orkney. Dating from 3100BC these 6m (19ft) high henge stones hold many secrets about their use and the society that erected them. Rig04 & Dopero.
Jul 19: Scara Brae, Orkney. Also dating from 3100BC these are the houses of the Orcadians from 5000 years ago, complete with passageways, furniture and fittings. A truly breathtaking place. Panobubble. Rig04 & Dopero.
