Pennan Village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland; famous for the film "Local Hero" which was filmed here in the early 80's. One week after this photograph was taken, the village was partly swamped by a landslide.
Oh my! Sorry to hear of the landslide.... A really nice pic. Shows the town and the countryside ;) Love that red phone booth :)
Artist Reply: Thank you Angie, I am hoping to revisit Pennan again this summer, hopefully can find some more angles to better capture the feel of this small fishing village.

Absorbing Photo, especially with this background story
Artist Reply: Many thanks Hedda. It certainly was a shock when I saw the landslide on the news the following week. It's certainly a stunning tranquil little village. Regards Andy S
Artist Reply: It's a beautifull village and your right Jean, it was a calm evening, such a shock that it was hit by the landslide less than a week later.
