Boys will be boys

2008-11-13T14:47:00.001-08:00

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 . . .

2008-11-12T15:00:00.001-08:00

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 . . .

Kilpatrick

Traffic whizzes by

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

Oct 18 - Where?

2008-10-20T02:08:00.000-07:00

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

2008-10-17T17:27:00.000-07:00

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 . . .

2008-09-30T16:32:00.000-07:00

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

2008-09-30T16:29:00.000-07:00

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

2008-09-13T06:06:00.000-07:00

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???

Per Curam Placebimus

2008-09-11T16:58:00.001-07:00

*am 3-5 1p ft act ind I shall see, I shall be seeing.

placeo : (+ dat.) to please, be agreeble to

v *bimus 1-2 1p ft act ind we shall see, we shall be seeing.

2008-08-05T13:12:00.001-07:00

Johan zooms in
This stately tree spoke to me near the ruins

Set in beautifully remote locations are the ruins of the chapels dedicated to Saints Ninian and Blane, which tell of missionary faith. Stone circles, chambered cairns, cup markings and other mysteries from four millennia ago may grip your imagination as you explore the island. Iron age defence systems along the coast and inland conjure up images of invading hordes.

If I was ever to be buried - I'd hope for a fine view like this over the seas looking towards Arran

Phase 2 - Catch up

2008-08-05T12:57:00.001-07:00

Weymss Bay - ah! the nostalgia and memories of running for the ferry . . from the train
Fransie & Johan - who visited from South Africa
the two Rothesay ferry's pass each other en route - there is one every 45 minutes
At the far end of the Isle of Bute - there is another ferry - closer to Dunoon
A wall that must have taken ages to build - partly broken - probably with age - perhaps never to be mended

Band perform in side street - bagpipes and percussion

0807 Blaze

2008-07-08T13:47:00.000-07:00

Your roving reporter captured events as they were unfolding . . . a blaze - hope no one involved - looks like a scrap yard - might be tyres - they somehow have a habit of going up in flames ??? Don't know how? - probably see the details in the newspaper tomorrow . . .

0707 - Sunset

2008-07-08T13:45:00.000-07:00

2008-07-04T14:20:00.000-07:00

30-06 Dumbarton Rock

2008-06-30T15:09:00.000-07:00

Sunset over Dumbarton Rock -

Apologies I've been a bit lax with my postings - and I have been forgetting to take my camera to work - well today I was punished - rush hour and all of a sudden the car in front of me stopped and I could see the traffic on the other side had already stopped - to my amazement it turned out to be two swans taking their young one's - all four of them for a stroll down this main road - and where was my camera - at home . . . AAAAArrrrghhh! (It was an absolutely lovely site - not a care in the world and chaos all around them - very reaffirming! I promise to carry my camera at all times

29-06 Cenna

2008-06-30T15:05:00.000-07:00

Well I am getting a green finger reputation at work - bought this Cenna was about half the size - and it is now flowering - personally I'm waiting for the golden goose

Just to give an idea of the height about 1 metre - before it flowered I was asked whether we were going to smoke it . . .

1906 Erskine Bridge

2008-06-19T13:48:00.001-07:00

Erskine Bridge - taken after work at about 18h20 - quite dark actually - rain clouds threatening all the time . . .

There's gold in them thar hills - well maybe not but by God they are green . . . - looking towards Dumbarton - photo taken in a small industrial area . . .???

I am in Old Kilpatrick - almost underneath Erskine Bridge - a toll bridge 60p each way until not that long back . . . - sometimes closed to traffic when there are heavy winds about 500 / 600 feet high - above the Clyde - looking up/down river (not sure which would be correct terminology) towards Dumbarton

Now there used to be - I am told a ferry which ran across the Clyde and here is evidence - can clearly see the slips on either side must have been a few minutes and you'd be over - but of course the bridge has put an end to that - looking across at Erskine

14 - 18 The two R's - Fiona my niece's children

2008-06-18T14:54:00.000-07:00

Glasgow airport waiting (yes you seem to do a lot of that at airports) for my plane - actually it was empty . . . not a popular time to fly it seems 21h30 Friday evening

Radisson hotel - the corridor seemed to stretch away to eternity - or you think that was the beers . . . . lol

0506 And the Heavens opened up

2008-06-05T13:16:00.000-07:00

Wow - really humid the whole day and then the heavens opened . . . I am the proud owner of a bicycle - the beginning of a new me . . . lol - something had kept me back - Rioja - from Monday night class gave me first option on his old bike as he has bought a new one . . . I was in two minds but when I say it I thought it was worth it (don't be so nosey - I'm not telling) - I had to take about 16 photo's to get this on - because it si so dark in the close and the slightest movement blurs the photo - I eventually captured it by putting it on my Sports setting . . . .

0406 Invade Iraq - Cheap Petrol - Not !

2008-06-04T15:48:00.000-07:00

This is what it has come to £1.16 per litre of petrol - my friends in South Africa were complaining when I was there in March - there price closer to 80p a litre - there standard reply yes but we don't earn what you guys earn in the UK . . . Erm - that is true but you don't have to pay what we pay either - am I stating the obvious . . lol - my rant for the day! (plane coming in for landing in the background)

0306 - Glasgow - Ibrox

2008-06-04T15:43:00.000-07:00

Photo taken from my Mum's flat in Cardonald - Ibrox in the foreground and helicopter circling overhead . . . home of Rangers and what a season they had - many a tale will be told of what could have been - UEFA Final; The SPL . . . but as they say in the classics - 'you can't win em all' - lol (block of flats to the right - proof that the Borg are not just a figment of Star Trek but that they are actually alive and well in Glasgow . . . hmm!)

0206 - Dumfries - Forest of Ae - Cows (calves) & Me

2008-06-02T15:25:00.000-07:00

Forest of Ae - near Dumfries - just of the A701

I arrive on the scene - cows get nervous and make a run for it

Not too far though

Then they start getting curious

Hmmm! who is this - they edge a little bit closer

They all start back towards me - but sort of such that they can all see me

Ever get that feeling you are being watched - the centre of attraction . . . 'Take me to your leader . . . !'

As I crossed the road - they were all up against the fence - had the fence not been there - I am sure they would have come right up to me . . . eventually - obviously all calves . . .

2008-06-01T15:13:00.001-07:00

3005 Dumbarton - Old Ballantyne's building

2008-06-01T14:57:00.000-07:00

This is a photo of the old Ballantyne's distillery building - no longer in use - but to be made part of a new development flats to be built in the future (OK technically picture taken on 0106 Shhh! don't tell anyone - I want to maintain my perfect record and as far as possible Iw ant the photo's to be taken on that day)

2905 Bishopbriggs - Glasgow

2008-05-29T14:30:00.000-07:00

I followed a road . . . and it led me to Bishopriggs - which is about 4 / 5 miles from where I work . . .as you can see the sun is out again - what a difference it makes . . .

A small water course - caught my eye . . this is in Bishopbriggs

The Clyde & Forth canal - that canal that runs from Bowling all the way to the Forth - I was standing on a float on the side of the canal - so I am actually in / on it . .. woke a duck up though who flew into water - prob cursing me

A group of trees called to me - as they often do . . . Bishopbriggs

This was on the road to Bishopbriggs - I'd be lying if I claimed I knew what area we are looking at - I just loved the view

Same story - same view - slightly more East than last photo . . . lol

Grey Wet day

2008-05-28T14:26:00.000-07:00

It has been a grey - wet day . . .

This was taken on the way to work . . . takes me about 25 minutes to get to the street I work in - Balmore road - then often 20 minutes to actually get to my work . . . this is part of the last 20 minutes - bumper to bumper

All this rain obviously leads to lush and green vegetation as can be seen . . .

This was the evening about 19h00 - things have not improved much

Yacht Plane & Crane

2008-05-27T14:24:00.000-07:00

Clydebank - looking over the river Clyde - I was just parking the car when I saw the yacht sailing past - I had to leg it to capture it (so to speak)

Then an airplane decided to life off - from Glasgow International - who am I to look a gift-horse (air plane) in the mouth . . . a bit distant

A throw back to the river Clyde in its hey day - one of the biggest ship building yards / centres in the world - the have kept this crane and you can climb up and see the view - no I ain't be up it yet . . .

Now if you remember a few days back - I captured Clydebank college being demolished - well here is the new Clydebank College . . . on the banks of the river Clyde . . .

2605 Spying on citizens - shop facades

2008-05-26T13:17:00.001-07:00

Shopping - car park on top of Aldi's - ;ooking down on Paisley Road West - Cardonald - Glasgow (looks like the red head spotted me)

Corner flower shop - when I used to use Interflora when I was in South Africa to send flowers to my Mum here in Scotland - flowers always came from this florist . . just off Paisley Road West - Cardonald - Glasgow

2505 the chair the building

2008-05-26T13:11:00.000-07:00

My sister bought my Mum this chair - remote controlled - lazy boy style - she doesn't like it its too hard - so were going to sell it now . . . some photos in preparation

My Mum's flat - they are transforming its exterior - it was the UK standard grey previously - colour wise it si a great improvement and I am sure improving its insulation dramatically . . .

2405 Glasgow - Merchant City 2

2008-05-26T12:56:00.000-07:00

I get creative - Argyle Street - entrance to Merchant City - against a fading sky

Trongate - the Tron theatre - where I went to see The Drawer Boy . . .

The Tollbooth - Trongate - note the boots over the telephone wires - no doubt a story attached to them . . . Hey could be a future Leaning Tollbooth ???

My fascination with wee rooms on top of buildings continue - I must have spent time in one . . .lol - Argyle street

2305 Glasgow - Merchant City

2008-05-26T12:49:00.000-07:00

Well these are a few photo's split over 2 days of Merchant City - Glasgow - I'm afraid I do not know which buildings they all are let alone streets - they appealed to me as hope they do to you . . .

Something about this solitary room all by itself . . .was very captivating - Ingram Street

An Italian restaurant in the Italian quarter

A side street - which spoke to me

anther side street with a cafe of sorts - had a very nice feel to it - Brunswick Street methinkest??

2205 Glasgow Speirs Wharf

2008-05-22T15:24:00.000-07:00

Glasgow - Speirs Wharf - canal that runs from Clyde to Forth (Glasgow to Endinburgh)

canal runs next to M8 main highway

Ducks made straight for me - must be used to being fed
Canal House - Hmm! I am sure it must have a story or two to tell
This looks like a lovely group of flats - the other side of them - road side does not look as impressive
The one end of the lock system
you would emerge fom this tunnel - showing the difference in levels of the two canals

2105 Canna - Stella

2008-05-21T15:21:00.000-07:00

Canna - my plant at the office - I speak to her and move her around on my desk - oh and giver a drink now and again . . .

Stella - my wee car - gets me from A to B - Nissan Micra - S....L (registration = hence Stella [also interStelLar])

2005 Milngavie Phone Booth

2008-05-20T10:25:00.000-07:00

Milngavie - phone booth - saw it this morning took it this afternoon - seems it has no glass left on the upper half . . . .

1905 Clydebank - Storm clouds; College; Fish & Chips

2008-05-19T15:53:00.000-07:00

Storm clouds gather - stopped in Milngavie - looking towards MIlngavie town (Rangers training grounds in teh background)

looking across farmlands and fields - how green is my valley

Old Clydebank College or what's left of it Riddell Street - Clydebank (oops better just mention it is being demolished - not a disaster or anything . . . don't want you to jump to conclusions)

McMonagles fish & chips shop / boat . . . Clydebank - boasting a sail by takeaway - never seen anyone sail up for fish n chips . . . storm clouds - still threatening
