By Amsterdam artist Niels "Shoe" Meulman @nielsshoemeulman at Wapping Street, Aberdeen, Scotland in June 2024 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.

"Last week I painted a large scale mural in Scotland, as I was one of the lucky artists to be (re)invited to the magnificent NuArt Aberdeen street art festival.
The main piece I did features the three main disciplines when it comes to letters:
- calligraphy (first layer painted with a broom)
- typography (roman capitals, Benguiat-style)
- lettering (details, drips and colored initials)
It reads:
Real graffiti writers
Do this illegally
Hanging from a rope
In the dark
Abseiling (or rappelling) graffiti is the latest and most admirable of the many forms of illegal name-writing. Born in São Paolo and Berlin, now practiced by daredevils worldwide. It shows us that graffiti culture is still evolving to highs (no pun intended) we never could have imagined.
My piece on the 7 by 30 meter wall is a twofold tribute.
Firstly, I am in awe of those who put their life on the line (another unintended pun) for our illegal existentialist cause, by hanging from buildings. I sometimes feel ashamed to not to get involved in this, but at the tender age of 56, my urge to get up (unintended pun #3) may just not be what it once was.
Secondly, my mural for NuArt Aberdeen is a tribute to the –genius but still somewhat unknown– Amsterdam graffiti pioneer Dr. Rat (Ivar Vičs), who bombed my city with his excellent drawings and ‘gothic’ letters before his untimely death in 1981. There is much to say about his work but better is it to watch the video ‘Dr. Rat Pissteeg’ on YouTube and you’ll see what I mean." @nielsshoemeulman June 13, 2024

Canyoning (rappelling or abseiling) down four waterfalls was one of the high points of our trip.

The crew at Pure Trek were super friendly and wonderful and made sure we had a great and safe experience. And a tasty lunch afterwards.

the view is from the top looking straight down a deep waterfall. two people are on ropes half-way down, wearing safety gear, rappelling down to the bottom, where a guide awaits them. the misty spraying waterfall is on the left, lush green leaves are on the right.

From an unlabeled personal #ViewMaster reel, most likely taken by someone who worked at the View-Master factory in the 1950s. This reel has a lot of #MountainClimbing images. That's Mt. Hood, Oregon in the background.

Stereoscopic, side-by-side images. A man is rappelling down a perfectly vertical rock face. We see very little of the rock along the right side of the image. Behind the man is Mt. Hood, Oregon, and a deep blue, cloudless sky.

Fancy getting up in the morning and going "Yay! Today I get to clean Big Ben!" 🤓

On to a bit of #EngineeringGeology and #GeotechnicalEngineering, the erosion is a serious problem for any structures built on or near the coast and there is a mainline railway track on the route to London which runs along it on this stretch. #NetworkRail is busy trying to stabilize and strengthen the cliffs using #RockAnchor, #RockBolts and #meshing to retard the process. Here you can see workers #abseiling as part of their work.
