Beautiful Glasgow

The car boot sale sign at Polmadie :-)
Instantly recognisable to anyone who passes by in the southside

The squinty bridge :-)
Have a good one
I should post more I know, but most of the stuff I take images of doesn't quite fit in with beautiful and glasgow ;-)
John

Have you seen one or been on one yet ?
I have to admit I loved the intimacy and noise of the old ones 😉

Have you taken a journey on our new trains yet?

Morning all :-) from a VERY snowy Glasgow.
The Savoy.
One of Glasgows Brutalist buildings.
Its either you love it or you hate it, there are very few inbetween, however one thing is for sure, many memories have been made in the Savoy :-)

Hi all,
I know things are tight out there just now, but you might still be looking to buy one of my beautiful prints for a present, or to go on your wall.....
To help out I have decreased the margin on ALL my prints to the minimum I can. I can't do this forever but I will leave it in place till the new year....
This is my way of saying I understand its hard.
Like many small businesses I have seen sales fall away this year and I need a little help keeping the lights on :-)
I can't change the pricing of the postage, so it's always best to buy more than one to make it easier to handle :-)

The Doors at GOMA closed for the day.
This was taken over a decade ago, so they may be slightly different now ;-)
Have a great day, hopefully, it's not raining where you are.

What a beautiful morning 🥰
I was crossing the bridge this morning, thinking once this area is fully regenerated it’s going to be a wonderful space to encourage wildlife and the locals to hang out 🤩 the mix of plants with colours and smells is great and the grasses have been seeded with wildflowers, clovers and all other nice things 🤩
Have a wonderful day
John

The duke looking down the street :-)

I have been playing around with the new neural filters in a well known program.

Here's how it interprets my GOMA image ;-)

Have a good one

This caught my eye the other night whilst I was out for a stoat about 😍
John

The barras back entrance, just before the signage was repainted.
It's still well worth a visit of a weekend, many new stalls coming online along with the stalwarts who have been there for decades.

Down the side of the Barrowlands on a day much like this.
Originally taken on black & white film, I colourised it, similar to how it looks
have a good one
John

The back end of some tenements.
Glasgow Southside.
have a good one :-)
John

I was out the other week testing a new to me camera.
Shot on black and white film, I colourised in photoshop.
It does a no bad job. It just couldn't get the bright green of the bridge ;-)
It's a bit more dreich today :-(

Have a good one, john

Candleriggs last night
Massive redevelopment going on there just now and a new mural on the wall.

Have a great evening
John

I am seeing reports that Morton’s, Glasgows most loved supplier of morning rolls has ceased trading 😥😥
Massive blow to the local community if this is true.
Workers apparently turned up tonight to find the gates padlocked.
😟😟

I remember arriving at the crack of dawn to see the towers coming down.
It as well into the late afternoon by the time they came down.... A long time to wait at the fence for sure

Looking down to Glasgow Cross from the High Street.
have a good one :-)

Anyone know people this may be of interest to?

Morning all,
From quite a few years ago, there is always someone trying to get a piccy of the duke 😉
Have a good one
John

Glasgow streets, where even the fittest need an oxygen mask to get to the top ;-)

Some famous Glasgow spots in close proximity to each other.
The Sarry Heid (Saracen Head), McIvers at the Barras and the Tolbooth Steeple at the cross.
I had a wee bit of an accident whilst developing the roll these were on, so McIvers got it in the neck, so to speak.

Morning all :-)
Cobbled lane, Southside, Glasgow.
Who remembers running up and down the cobbled lanes?

It's a bit of a cliche, I know ;-)
Have a great day
Just off Argyle Street at the back of Frasers in Mitchell Street.
