Boys will be boys

I just loved the vibrancy of the colour . . .(In the old Apartheid days these would have been called front end loaders - not bulldozers - what is the difference - None! Spin before it arrived in the UK???)

The moon rising . . .

Not the best of pictures - an unsteady hand - just leaving work . . . and it is that twilight period again - soon there will be no light when I leave work . . .

Streets of Glasgow . . .

Beresford - a Glasgow university residence - if I am not mistaken
The King's Theatre
alleyway between Bath & Sauchiehall Street

Misc

Fairmilehead - Edinburgh - old pump station
Just leaving work - twilight
Birthday girl - Maureen turns 60
The light and quiet before the storm

Kilpatrick


Traffic whizzes by


Looking out towards Dumbarton on the Clyde - you can just make out Dumbarton rock - visibility quite poor . . .

Oct 18 - Where?

I can't help wondering - Where on earth does that door go to?? It's under a bridge - under the A82?? in Kilpatrick

Oct 17 - Eddie Reader

Ms Croach - supporting act - excellent, I thought


Eddie Reader & band (drummer is the only person since Fairground Attraction days - although far right guitarist Boo Hewerdine has been associated with her for a very long time.) too much light in places - like Eddie's face


'Ae Fond Kiss'- just starting to blur - its the distance and the light . . .

29 / 30 Sep - Crane 4

OK last one - I'm milking it now . . . lol

Hmm - camera problems - I have had a problems with the batteries but now another clasp seems to have broken which means I have to push down / up to ensure that they make contact otherwise I have no power - problem is I have to apply so much pressure that it shakes and can quite easily cause a blur . . . hmm - will need to take it in so they can tell me whether it can be fixed or what the prognosis is . . .

27 / 28 Sep - Crane 3

From another angle

Glasgow Architecture 3

Glasgow Architecture

Two statues look down upon an entrance to a building - one male - one female - he has something slung over his shoulder (a chord runs across his body attached to this device?? . . . almost as if he is listening to something. . ? note the object at his left foot? a beehive?) - she seems to be carrying a bouquet . . I wonder what they have seen over the years . . ????

Glasgow Architecture

I have taken a series of photo's and will continue exploring this over the next few days . . .weeks . . as long as holds my interest . . . - this photo speaks of grandeur from days gone past . . . this is next Central Station and is attached to the hotel at the station . . . strange it's almost like a door up there???
