Thanks, Yes, historical buildings are not always as nice as they seem in modern times.<br /><br />Adrian... Thanks, I lost count of the photos I took here on several occasions. It is unbelievable how I didn't get any cranes in the reflection or post for that matter. I got some scaffolding instead.<br /><br />Rafael Lam... Thanks, A lot of interesting features here.<br /><br />Marian... Thanks, I've got more Glasgow photos up my sleeve from a previous trip (River & Rennie Mackintosh and possibly another trip in the spring.<br /><br /> JoLynne Lyon... Thanks, The Unicorn is a slightly different kind of story and quite prominent from the bottom of the street shown in the other photos.<br /><br />DUTA... Thanks, I'm covering most aspects in these posts instead of revisiting it later. It does seem a bit touristic but I enjoyed my time here while it lasted.<br /><br />Darryl and Ruth... Thanks, pleased you liked it.<br /><br />Sidhartha Joshi... Thanks for your comment and visit.<br /><br />Wind... Thanks, Sorry I can not offer you another post to read this monday. I too am looking forward to the sun and getting out again places. Hope you have a good week.<br /><br />Cranberry Morning... Thanks, I thought a lot about the variety of pictures in this post, pleased you enjoyed it. It'a a shame about the Youtube clip.... it was the train ride scene in The wrong Trousers.<br /><br />Denise... Thanks, Yes time is sometimes difficult when blogging and catching up. Hope you enjoyed this set.<br /><br />Mahon...Thanks, Hope you had a great and refreshing holiday.<br /><br />Midwest to Midlands... Thanks, there's plenty to see. You just need to do your research first on where the places are you want tio see. Some are a lot more difficult to find than others.<br /><br />forgetmenot... Thanks, I wasn't keen on modern sculptures at first until they put some up in my city... they grow on me... after a while. They are ideal for photographic pieces from different angles. It's been a while since I was at Liverpool and no digital pictures ( looking at a converter). There is a lot of potential here as it was European city of culture a while back. I have friends that organise days out to cities in the North. Liverpool is not on the list for the first half of the year anyway. Your comment has inspired me to return although I'm not sure when it will be yet.<br /><br />Vicki Lane... Thanks, the ridiculous are ridiculous but give a smile... I hope.<br /><br />Lily Riani... Booking ahead with First Great Western it is possible to get a return of £20. Nearby Bath is nice as well. Then again if it is not possible, this is your virtual tour.<br /><br />Monika... Thanks, pleased you enjoyed it. The Cathedral is not something that is advertised very well as an attraction in Bristol for some reason.<br /><br />George the Lad... Thanks, pleased you had good memories. I always had a walk up Park street on a friday afternoon when I was there. Fopp DVD shop was my first port of call for an hour or so !<br /><br />Sweet Virginia Breeze... Thanks, I tried to pack a lot of variety in here as this is the last post in the group of three about the town.<br /><br />Andras... Thanks for your nice comment.<br /><br />1ondoncalling... Thanks for your visit and comment, The mural is at the bottom of Park street (hill) on the right hand side just after College green, Cathedral and council offices on the left.<br /><br />Rizalenio... Thanks, If you like the last photo, you are going to love the next post.J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-47370172744763532222011-01-27T01:16:51.713+00:002011-01-27T01:16:51.713+00:00I love all the photos esp the 13th image, the colo...I love all the photos esp the 13th image, the colors on that photograph is just perfect.

We love Wallace and Grommit and have 3 of the movies in the house, but didn't realize they were created in Bristol. I think the same guy did a short movie, 'The Silent Years,' which we purchased at Fountains Abbey, but it was mailed to us and got destroyed in the scanner. Too bad, for it was really cute. These are beautiful photos, although the strange gherkin-type structure with the cathedral in the background just jars my senses. I am thrilled to see the unicorns on the roof of the council house. What a great, albeit expensive, touch of whimsy! I'm also very fond of the 'black and white' buildings in that part of the country.
