The Prop of Ythsie by Mark Coull, on Flickr
Background info:
The Prop of Ythsie is a striking square tower built in 1861 as a memorial to the 4th Earl of Aberdeen. There are 91 steps to the top parapet, which gives wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. The style of the Prop is severe, even by Scottish Victorian standards, with a curving profile leading to an oversized parapet, so that it resembles a rook on a chessboard.
This was taken on Saturday during the golden hour using my Fuji xt-2 + 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 lens. This is owned by the Haddo house estate, which is part of the National Trust for Scotland. Edited in CaptureOne.
