For today's #CrazyRebelliousArt the topic is to share photos of your city and tell us what you like or don't like about living there. I'm not going to lie, I've had troubles with my hometown over the years- Stonehaven, but I think in recent years I've grown to love everything it has to offer. Even if not everybody I may know there is as up to par as the history, scenery or food is!

[Apologies for this being very photo heavy! Thought I may as well make the use of the photos I have.]

So as I said before, my hometown is Stonehaven. You may have heard of it before for several reasons including; 

Anyway, this post isn't really meant to be about why my town can be placed on the map for being awesome and more onto what I think of it truthfully. So yeah, over the years my relationship with my home town has changed. I used to find it boring and lacked a lot of things to offer for young people aged between 13 and 25 (as long as it wasn't drinking for those over 18). And although that circumstance hasn't changed, I've found new ways and new things to do that I enjoy. 

It's pretty evident from all of the posts I've done over the years but I do love to go out with my photography and in all honesty, Stonehaven has a lot to offer in terms of scenery. To the East there's the ocean and cliff edges, and then mainly to the West and South there are plenty of woods to explore and finally, pretty much all around, there are loads and loads of fields to take pictures of. And over the past few years these things have made me fall in love with my town a lot more than I was at the ages of 13, 14 and 15. 

Lastly, I think one of the important aspects that bring a lot of business to Stonehaven is the community. I've already touched on the Fireballs already, which are always popular among locals and tourist and to get a decent spot to see them you need to head down usually about 10pm. But other than that there is a lot of other things in my hometown that bring people together, whether it's the yearly Feein' market, the Harbour Festival or the Bonfire Fireworks which happened this past Sunday. I think I'm pretty lucky to live somewhere that does do things like these and includes people- even if you don't to be involved with every single one of them. 

But anyway, I definitely do like my home town and hope that one day I can live in a similar place with a great community, beautiful scenery, an interesting history and tbh, great transport links as well. Because even though I do enjoy my home town just now I know it isn't and won't be my final place to live in this life and that I will find these things elsewhere and grow to love that place too. 

Thanks for reading, I'd love to hear a bit about your home town below, as well as your thoughts on Stonehaven too!
