A Fine Day

Opening the curtains this morning showed how grey the buildings are normally...... not helped by the passing rain shower. 
So a bit of judicious framing and spot metering was used to get some colour in the sky and on the hydro, but I was a bit disappointed that the shafts of sun didn't actually hit the Finnieston Crane  so it just become another big grey object which is gradually being swallowed up in the buildings. In 1988 during the Glasgow Garden Festival there was nothing on either side of the river - the crane was in a huge car park and the (now) housing at the other side was where the festival was held.

After breakfast we went along the road so SWMBO could do a wee bit of shopping.
My eye was caught by the abstract wall decorations.
The other things that caught my eye and couldn't really be photographed were - the shop assistant who looked like a woodpecker with his red cap of hair and his long pointy nose..... the window licker who was trying and failing miserably to look like a Hipster ...... the 70+ year old female Goth ..... the woman who walked the same way the Mary Poppins stands (toes pointing about 180 degrees from each other).

We stopped in Linlithgow on the way home to see how things were going at the craft fair I wasn't able to attend .... not very well from what I can gather. Another case of people not wanting to buy handmade stuff.
As we walked aong the road I saw a window stuck in a narrow sliver of old building ..... the remains of a religious building perhaps?
