Crovie - Aberdeenshire
Posted by MaryP (Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom) on 17 September 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This used to be a thriving fishing village but years ago it was partly destroyed by a terrible storm. The village has been restored and is now mostly given over to holiday 'lets'.

How extraordinary place ! It could be nice to rent one house for a week and feel all those winds and taste and smell sea!

One can imagine a storm sweeping in here and bashing the village against the cliff. An excellent image in composition and fine detail, Mary.

Great point of view on this little restored village between sea and hills. But it looks dangerous so near the sea...

Breathtaking image and a delight to see. Those cottages look in a dangerous spot, but exciting aswell. It really is a fine view following the coastpath through the village. I like the phone box...!!

What an amazing place Mary, it looks so pretty and peaceful, a place I would love to visit. The colours are fantastic and I love the way you have captured the little township here. Great work.

What a lovely and charming villiage. It seems so unusual to even consider building there. They are like miniature doll houses set along the shoreline.
I really love the image.
