Aerial Pictures of the Waste to Energy Plant at East Tullos which is used for Non-Recyclables by Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray Councils.
Its been plagued with issues since it opened but a few weeks after taking these pictures it was fulll operational, for the time being at least.
As you can see in the pictures its very large and dominant in the Aberdeen skyline, in recently plans submitted by the council there is talks of introducing it to districted heating.

Aerial Pictures of the relatively new South Harbour in Aberdeen which has mostly been used for larger vessels, crews ships and oil rigs getting some work or waiting for there new assignment.
I personnally think its a great thing that oil rigs are beginning to be a popular sight in Aberdeen as it continues to bring some work to the local econimy which is desperately needed in the recent year.

A few aerial pictures documenting the ongoing demolition works happening at the Aberdeen Beach Leisure Centre Swimming Pool after it closed its doors due to financial issues a few years ago.
First opening in 1989 the swimming pool, flumes and the gym facilities served the Aberdeen City for 35 years and its sad that its come to this point.
Not flown much at all over the last 6 years and at all really for 3 years but felt this needed documented due to its history within the city.
