Last time i was down there was when i had the lock up problem with my new camera.... (Turned out to be a fault with the memory card) Need to get back down and up tio the castle across the dodgy bridge :) Before that i think the last time i was in the port was 1987... I fully understand why it could become a favourite. Len Scaps cracking pic love the look on the buskers face... |

Thanks Scary & Alex
Its my favorite and to think it was taken with a throw away camera...
Oh an thanks to whomever fixed my link..... Lexi P.S. Why do I have advertisement under my post? |
||
| Alex Glass |
The adverts appear on the last post of each topic.
It is how they pay for a free site. |
||
| lexi |
Hi Alex,
I understand that advertising supports the board, but I wasn't sure why it was under my post.

I was under the impression that they took water fountains away for hygeine reasons | ||

They were removed during the HIV/AIDS hysteria in the 80's There's no significant health risk from them |

Alex, those demolition pics look the part in B&W
Here's one of my all time favourite Glasgow buildings before it was demolished a couple of years ago to make way for the Glasgow Harbour development. Meadowside Granary 2002

I wish i'd been into photography then. missed so many buildings in Glasgow |
||

Stunning Fjord
|
||
| Fjord |
I wish I'd also paid more attention over the years and took a lot more photo's of various areas and buildings. Hopefully there's plenty of folk out there redressing the balance with what's left. cos there's always one that you've missed :
|
||
| Alex Glass |
Just for you Fjord. A couple old the old granary.
|
||
| Fjord |
Oooh! I do like them
being a self confessed Meadowside Granary spotter I'd date them circa 1962-66 as construction of the final 1968 extension hasn't been started. |
||
| Alex Glass |
I have a book about the new development which has some information. I will need to look it our for you. | ||

The daily commuters in Glasgow central certainly did'nt expect this old beast to come thundering into platform 1 blowing its whistle and filling the air with smoke!

The frames started off as a project to discover the actions buttons on Photoshop. Then it kind of got out of hand till every thing i do in photoshop frequently is now on a key bind. |
