After a busy few weeks with uni work, rallying and other stuff I now have a break untill the next rally event. Spent last weekend up in Aberdeen for the Station Garage Granite City Rally. A great rally which I enjoyed again like last year, stages were great and got some good photos. Attended my first VIP day which was brilliant, found a good place at the end of the VIP stage to get some 2 wheel action.

Last week I spent some time up at Stirling Castle to photograph the sun as it went down, was great to get out with the camera in a non motorsport environment for a change. Some the pictures are below.

With my course this year nearing its end I am spending my free time applying for jobs and hoping something comes up soon and that I can get a job which will let me continue going to motorsport events.
