Just thought I'd squeeze in a quick photographic set that is more of a prelude to the next post.
The signposted route from the Kelvin Hall to the River Clyde isn't the most scenic of walks as it took me through some industrial deprivation ...
... across a busy dual carriageway road and then into this road underpass. I never thought at the time that they would end up in a blog post far less here in their own right.
(Time for me at the moment is precious and my sunday night blog & editing time has now disappeared. I'll have to grab moments while I can such as my day off work today as I am working saturday this week. As a post script ... it was exactly 5 years to the day that I was introduced to the blogging world by a work colleague with my first embarrassing post being published the following day on the 6th June 2010)
Although this route has become a major path to a new tourist destination, the underpass felt at times like I could have been in a scene from the Glasgow TV detective show Taggart !!
An exceptional portrayal of the Glasgow based Paddle Steamer P.S.S. Waverley amongst the history of shipbuilding on the River Clyde.
In the days when there wasn't much else travelling around the streets or countryside
Other than depicting the local community, I'm not sure what the significance of this unidentifiable local church is, however in contrast the unusual building in the last image is transport related and the subject of the next post ...
Some interesting and clever urban artwork here J.... Well worth posting and sharing with the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteThere are some very talented artists around. I often wonder how much they spend on paint.

J, I love this set of graffiti, those are interesting images. I find them full of reality and fantasy at the same time... and I'm pleased you shared them. :)
ReplyDeleteNice graffiti here. Happy blogging further, J-on-tour!
DeleteI'm so glad I stumbled on your pages through Flickr. Now I see I have much to catch up on. :-)
ReplyDeleteFascinating murals - which we missed because we travelled by car. Glasgow's a great city, but sometimes a little threatening in parts.
ReplyDeleteAccording to your Twitter feed? It looks like you've had an interesting July. What a great time too goo to the Lake District! I'd love to be there some summer day. Hope all's well. Look forward to the photos.
