Brad dropped us off at the Bridge of Don, a pretty urban location, but
within a few steps we
were
lost in parkland
leading up
to the real
bridge
-- the
13th century Brig o' Balgownie
(that's its shadow, with us looking down), and then up
along the Don
. -- which
is a pretty
nice river.
Then we went up through
an ornamental
garden
toward
St. Machar's
Churchyard
and then
the church itself
-- not
quite this gloomy
but
pretty
impressive
,
especially the organ
.(we
were surprised to find
music so central. There were interesting windows, but most of the picures
(didn't come out very well; this one gives an idea of the layout
and the ceiling)
, which
didn't come out all that well either.
