I just wanted to share some good news with you guys.
Earlier in the summer I entered a competition here in Scotland run jointly by the Royal Bank of Scotland and The Herald newspaper. The theme was 'Scotland's Skies' and as I take lots of sky pictures, the theme really appealed to me. The rules allowed for only 1 image per entrant so I had a difficult choice to make.
Here is the one I chose for 'Scotland's Skies'.
Aurora Curtain
Today I had a call from The Herald to say that my image had won and I was to be invited down to RBS HQ in Edinburgh for a drinks reception and to be awarded with the prize !
I honestly couldn't remember what the prize was and had to ask.
Guess what . . . . £1,000 worth of travel vouchers from Barrhead Travel, a well known Scottish Travel Company and a day with a top pro photographer in either Edinburgh or Glasgow, my choice.
(1,000 GBP = 1,350 USD).
We're away to Portugal on Monday, and then Madeira in February, so the prize will go towards a spring break somewhere, maybe Rome.
