Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 10/11/2025In December 2017, I spent an incredibly wet weekend in Gdańsk, Sopot and Malbork - so wet that my memory card corrupted and I lost half of my photographs. Nearly eight years later, I've managed to restore some of them. 083
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Since I last posted, I’ve had a week in Sutherland, a week in Switzerland and a couple of outings to Pitlochry and Loch Brandy. 251
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Sorry, guys - Bluesky keeps logging me out and then I just…forget to sign back in. 010

Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Washed a new woollen jumper yesterday and it categorically refuses to dry. 100
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 16/09/2025So far in September, Doors Open Weekend 1: Paisley Abbey, John Neilson Institute, Oakshaw Trinity Church and the Russell Institute. 160
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Back into the hills today for a traipse around Glen Esk. 050

Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Kind of love this picture of Union Street on Saturday night. 051
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 25/08/2025Been a fairly quiet month so far, but August picked up last week with outings to Balmaha, Inchcailloch, Stonehaven and Aberdeen. 172
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 22/08/2025I have my issues with their reporting on Isreal and Gaza, but The Atlantic’s Photos of the Week continue to be an unparalleled delight. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...theatlantic.comPhotos of the Week: Monorail Rescue, Human Pyramid, Mountain RitualA collection of images from the past seven days, showing continued wildfires in Spain, a sail-in parade in Amsterdam, weigh-ins at the London Zoo, harness racing in Germany, an independence celebratio... 010

Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 08/08/2025If only the news cycle was full of stories like this. 054
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Been working my way through Inside No. 9 (better late than never) and I’m not sure I could choose a favourite episode, but it’s between La Couchette, Zanzibar and Misdirection. 110
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Held this back a month to let them mature, but here are two adorable fox cubs beside the River Dee in Aberdeen. #FoxOfTheDay 060
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Made a new friend. I chanced upon a #buzzard nest this week and have enjoyed watching the juveniles build their flight muscles. 050
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 30/07/2025One of my favourite photographs taken this year didn’t require any travel at all. I’ve seen foxes along the Dighty Burn before, but this is the first to pause before disappearing into the overgrowth. #FoxOfTheDay 1121
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 28/07/2025I’ve been neglecting this place lately. Here’s a few photos from recent travels around #Scotland, taken on a madcap long weekend spent touring Stirling, Dunblane, Kingshouse, Fort William, Inverness, Elgin, Lossiemouth and Aberdeen. 092
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Can’t remember the last time I was this sunburnt. 000
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Back to normal yesterday, spotting wildlife in Aberdeen. I really enjoyed my time on the Rhine in Germany and the Netherlands but it can’t compete with the Dee where biodiversity is concerned. 0143

Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Saturday: I started last week’s Eurotrip at Brussels-Charleroi, almost a year to the day since I’d last flown out of it. I only had an hour in the city centre before my night bus from Midi but it was nice to be back, even over midnight. 121
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Split last week between Brussels, Amsterdam, the Hague, Utrecht, Arnhem, Wuppertal, Düsseldorf and Weeze. A million more photographs incoming. 021
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Bought a ticket to Düsseldorf, boarded a train headed for Düsseldorf, had my ticket inspected en route to Düsseldorf, and now we’ve just terminated in Duisburg as if that was the plan all along. 210
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 11/06/2025The Netherlands is effectively cashless now and I’m as impressed as I am inconvenienced. I never use cash at home but have always felt buying foreign currency to be part of the travel experience. 020
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 09/06/2025Managed to get bitten by a tick in The Hague today. Don’t remember stepping on grass once. 000
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 04/06/2025A1. Big fan of brie, mozzarella and feta, as well as that Castello pineapple stuff A2. I’ve been to Gruyères in Switzerland to try fondue - the whole town smelled amazing A3. I do love a croque monsieur, an Emmental pretzel and a proper German käsekuchen #NationalCheeseDay #FoodTravelChat 020
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 04/06/2025OK, so I’m likely to have two hours in Brussels over midnight on a Saturday. I’m more than happy just wandering, but in the event of heavy rain can anyone think of anywhere I can shelter until my connection at 01:30? 000
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Looking forward to spending a bit more time in the Netherlands next week. I used to live near the Dutch-German border as a kid, but as an adult I’ve only had the odd day in Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Maastricht and Roermond. 051
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Decided that next week’s travel itinerary of Arnhem, Düsseldorf and Wuppertal over a long weekend wasn’t complicated enough, so I’ve extended to a week and included Amsterdam and Utrecht. Oh, and I’m actually flying into Brussels-Charleroi. 120
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Not sure what happened to the thunderstorm that was forecast. 100
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/05/2025Tripped over my brother while rushing to colour in some Power Rangers drawings, ruined a coffee table and needed stitches in my face. 020
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/05/2025Some mornings are just special. Incredible encounters with dippers, deer and kingfishers this morning, all before 7am, and now a seal. 060
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Rewatching Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for the first time in a decade and it’s still a misunderstood masterpiece. 000
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Unexpectedly challenging conditions on Thursday, with the sun glaring, the water choppy and the dolphins non-committal, but I quite like this set of one above and below the waves at the harbour entrance. 0253
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 16/05/2025I have an irritating habit of randomly buying birthday cards I find funny and then never being able to find them again when I need to actually give a birthday card. 220
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 11/05/2025A few from this week's encounters with the Finlathen Park deer, still mid-moult. It's getting harder to spot them in the warm weather and spring overgrowth. 051
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 11/05/2025Lovely day in Fraserburgh yesterday, but it’s a strange place. Impressive buildings, big yachts in the harbour, more banks than your average high street, and yet there’s barely any shops or cafes. 2171
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 09/05/2025A1. I bought a bottle of Aquarius Hidratación Diaria from a Spanish supermarket and it was the most refreshing thing ever. A2. I don’t think I’ve had a barbecue abroad since I was a kid living in Australia. A3. I’m not sure you can beat pistachio, yoghurt or coffee gelato. #FoodTravelChat 011
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Great day yesterday, though a later start than usual after a couple of long journeys and late nights. There’s just no beating Aberdeen in the sun. 062
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Been feeling a little cooped up and out of sorts lately, so took a long weekend, walked from Tillicoultry to Stirling, took the bus up to Kingshouse and watched the dolphins in Aberdeen. 1142
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 30/04/2025This image has been whole summers in the making. 1131
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Great to have the swallows back at City Quay and to have the weather to properly appreciate them. 061
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Dolphins aside it was a bit of a disappointing day; dull throughout despite sunny spells being forecast. This is about as bright as it got, just before sunset. 070
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 27/04/2025A spot of #dolphin watching in Aberdeen this afternoon. 061
Reposted by Steven NeishLainy @lainy.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Well, I wasn't expecting to see these Orcas when at Troup Head, Aberdeenshire photographing Gannets today! What an amazing experience watching at least four of them (including a calf). #orca #killerwhale #whale #cetacean 1174
