Wild Dolphins in Aberdeen

Off to Aberdeen for work today, a long journey, but very worthwhile.

The city is hosting the Wild Dolphins project, which has seen 50 spectacular life-sized fibreglass sculptures of bottlenose dolphins – usually spotted off the North-east coast – popping up all over town.

Organised by Wild in Art with The ARCHIE Foundation, the official charity of the Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital, and Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), the dolphins can be seen until August 29, before being auctioned to raise money for the two charities.

The finished designs include a pirate, a diver and Spiderman, and dolphins made of mosaics, wool and willow. Here is Krista by artist, Julie Nicholson, which can be seen in the lovely Victorian, Duthie Park.

Back in Edinburgh now and the sunshine has been replaced by thunder and lightening!

Hope you are all having a good Wednesday.
