2015 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt - Part 2

Hello Everyone

It's a wee while since I posted some of the photos collected on scavenger hunt (Part 1 is here) and yet I have been out and about clicking away and finding most of the items on Rinda's list. It's been an interesting challenge taking me places as I never been before ... some I'd planned to visit one day, others I didn't even know existed ... in hot pursuit of the next great photo opportunity. Here's a few I've crossed off the list.

#3 A person walking a dog.

This was a lucky find. We were enjoying a family day out in Eglinton Country Park, North Ayrshire, when I spotted this group of dog owners gathering together in the car park.

With few exceptions, the dogs were boxers.

#8 Someone "plugged in" to social media

This is Erin, sitting outside the restaurant in the Culzean Castle estate, totally absorbed listening to music on her mobile phone.

#14 A traffic signal

This traffic signal is one of the many directing the traffic round the notorious Whitletts Roundabout, Ayr, which has been branded one of the most dangerous in Scotland. The bewildering five exit junction has been the scene of 32 recorded accidents in the last two years, leaving 13 people injured.

#10. A college or university

The University of the West of Scotland which is situated beside the River Ayr here in the town of Ayr where I live. It's a new building in the most idyllic setting - students must enjoy the riverside walks just as much as I do.

#17 - At least two people wearing matching outfits or uniforms

Not exactly identical outfits but both men are wearing Fire Brigade uniforms - just from completely different time periods.

This was such a fun photo shoot too. These two guys were just full of good humour and enjoyed being the centre of attention, even if it was for just a little while. The occasion was a Morris Minor Rally at Culzean Castle in June this year.

The red vehicle in the background is this 1968 Morris Minor Pick Up fully restored to look like the 1952 Morris Motors Ltd Fire Brigade appliance which was the first-line fire appliance at the Morris Cowley Motor Works in Oxford, England.

That's the second five items found, so ten down, eleven still to record. As the closing date is 22 September, I plan to be back with the next five very soon.
