Fittie (or Footdee, but nobody calls it that) was a fishing settlement by Aberdeen beach made up of fishermans' cottages, sheds for their fishing gear and a few larger houses for the skippers. It's now gentrified and quite arty and the residents pride themselves on the quirky decoration in their house and shed windows.
When we lived near Aberdeen, I wandered around there regularly - it's a great place for photography.
Gnomes are thought of as unbearably kitch but, somehow, in Fittie they look OK. I think it's because they are not in suburban gardens.
Sometimes the gnomes in Fittie are social beings with several in a group. But in this window, a solitary gnome was the sentinel.
Many of the gear sheds have now been repurposed - sometimes into art studies, utility rooms or more general storage. This one seems to be a wardrobe or dressing room.
The fishing heritage of Fittie is reflected in the nautical theme in many windows and building decorations. I reckon at least a third of the houses have a boat displayed somewhere.
This is not a decorated window but an ordinary bathroom window. I liked the colours of the plastic bottles against the vivid colour of the window frame.
Most windows have a simple decorative theme but this one is really quite complex - I must admit that I don't really understand the Tom, Disk and Harry theme.
