I am wondering if any Mudcatters can help. I have a new album in the works called SANDS OF ABERDEEN - and I'd like to find a photo I can use for the album cover. I'd like to find a photo I can use for free - I will give credit, of course for the pic.

The album name comes from the title track. Here are the lyrics:

Sands of Aberdeen (c) Jed Marum, 2008

Grey and blue while I wait for you
All on the South Breakwater
Overdue how I long for you
I long to see your sail

May the Cold North Sea bring you home to me
I am my mother's daughter
From that foreign shore, frozen Labrador
Home to Cruden Bay

CHO: Every night I hear your footsteps
Climbing up my stair
You kiss my cheek and I awaken
I speak your name
But you're not there

Time wears away
Wearing day by day
Are you still among the living?
Months have been
Since you should have seen
The sands of Aberdeen CHO
        - instrumental -

Time wears away
Still I wait and pray
Along the South Breakwater
I watch for you
How I long for you
I long for your embrace
CHO CHO


AND HERE IS A LINK TO A SAMPLE OF THE MUSIC

Go here: Sands of Aberdeen and click the song title in the jukebox.

I had in mind a lonely beach scene, maybe some recognizable landmark in view - maybe the golden sands obvious ... empty beach, empty horison ... maybe overcast sky ... OR maybe a recognizable picture of the South Breakwater - if so, something that might not look 21st century (the song is early 19th).

Any thoughts? Any helpful ideas??

oh, and of course it doesn't have to BE Aberdeen, it just has to look like it COULD be Aberdeen - Cruden Bay etc ...

I don't know if they're any use to you, but when you go to Google Maps there are lots of pictures there. Zoom in on the Harbour area. I found the North and South breakwaters and a couple in stormy weather.

Jed, I'm in Aberdeen this week. How quickly do you want photos and can you be more specific if possible on what you need..?
