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 · 07/11/2025Haha, it’ll be getting city status at the next coronation. 100
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Thanks very much! I need to remember to put more in if I want to get more out of it. 110
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 · 28/09/2025And Doors Open Weekend 4, taking in Edinburgh’s Faculty of Advocates, Futures Institute and McEwan Hall, as well as Dundee’s Caird Hall. 041
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Doors Open Weekend 3 was a bit of a bust. Went to Dunfermline on Sunday to see Abbot House, only to discover it was only open on Saturday. Nipped into St Margaret's church to see the reliquary, and finally saw inside Glasgow City Chambers. 130
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Thanks very much! Always look forward to Doors Open. 010
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 22/09/2025For Doors Open Weekend 2 this year, I visited Perth Art Gallery, PSNS Library and St Ninian’s Cathedral, and then Inglis Memorial Hall in Edzell. 240
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Americans on the train trying to pronounce the stations between Dundee and Aberdeen: Browtee Ferry, Carnowstee, Aragroth(?!)… 120
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 · 09/09/2025A view over Braemar from Morrone, the nearest mountain. 051
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 29/08/2025Surely not on Margaret?! (Hope you didn’t lose too much) 110
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 · 19/08/2025Which building would you move across town if you could? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...bbc.co.ukEntire church begins two-day journey across Swedish city of KirunaThe landmark 113-year-old wooden building is at risk from subsidence and will be moved 5km on giant rolling platforms. 000
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 08/08/2025If only the news cycle was full of stories like this. 054
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Yeah, it’s brilliant. Started watching it when it originally broadcast, weirdly, but for some reason never made it past the second episode. 000
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 · 27/07/2025Hey! I’m OK, yeah. Thanks for checking in. Just fell out of the habit of posting. I’ll share some photos soon! 110
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 26/06/2025All good, thanks. Just a stressful day at work that’s already half-forgotten! 000
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Can’t remember the last time I was this sunburnt. 000
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Presumably, and I say that as an air user and an Earth user. 110
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 · 20/06/2025Saturday: I had a few options for my last day but Deutschebahn drama put paid to them all. I was reluctant to travel in the wrong direction (Köln) or on a parallel line (Xanten) so after finally departing Düsseldorf Hbf I ended up spending most of it in Weeze ahead of my evening flight home. 000
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Ha! I’m a modest transport nerd and I just about had a heart attack when I first saw it from the train. 110
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Friday: I wasn’t quite sure what to do with my penultimate day. My biggest remaining blindspot on the German Rhine was Koblenz, but it seemed a bit far and extravagant for a day trip so I decided to stay put in Düsseldorf, eat gelato and drink beer. It was a beautiful evening for a tipsy stroll. 120
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/06/2025I really liked Wuppertal as well. It’s so different from the rest of North Rhine-Westphalia. But there’s no doubt it’s the Schwebebahn that makes it. (The breeze, meanwhile, eluded me 😂) 010
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Thursday: With the next few days forecast to top 30, I brought Wuppertal forward so I could hopefully catch a breeze off the Rhine at Düsseldorf. I bought a day ticket for the Schwebebahn and went to town on it, before accidentally interrupting a couple’s wedding pictures in the botanic gardens. 330
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Wednesday: I had two reasons for stopping at Arnhem Centraal; I wanted to revisit a family grave at Oosterbeek War Cemetery and the manatees at Burgers’ Zoo. It was quite a gear-change, but I bridged the gap with an hour at Eusebiuskerk in the city centre. 100
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Haha, I quite like them! And thanks very much. 000
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Tuesday: Utrecht is commonly quoted as travellers’ favourite Dutch city and it’s not hard to see why. It may only be 30 minutes by train from Amsterdam, but that’s far enough to keep the masses at bay, letting you enjoy the storied streets and historic canals in relative peace, even during Pride. 220
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Monday: It’s hard to think of a more Steven city than The Hague, and after Amsterdam it was nice to be back in the Netherlands proper. Grand, ordered and manicured, with public art and civic spaces aplenty, one day didn’t feel long enough. It was topped off by a very scenic journey back to Utrecht. 240
Steven Neish @findinganeish.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Sunday: On reflection, Sunday morning, before the bin men had been out, wasn’t the best time to arrive in Amsterdam, especially after a wet trudge into town from the FlixBus stop at Sloterdijk. I’d had enough of the mess, rain and crowds by late afternoon and fled somewhere nicer for the evening. 110
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 · 12/06/2025Ha! Not really a fan of living metaphors, tbh. 100
