OK I do not have the stamina, like some of you, for a full 365 days so how about 365 hours? I will be in Glasgow working for the next two weeks and with one or two days gone already I might have to catch up :D
This is the Crowne Plaza hotel which I did not stay at but was next to the less photogenic (and more expensive :eek:) one I was staying at .

The clouds were whipping by and by the time I recomposed they were gone so this was the very first shot after looking up .

looking forward to see your take on Glasgae, :D
thats why i chose to do an A-Z as i dont have the stamina or time for a 365.

Glasgae just sounds so wrong....try Glesga....now thats more like it:)
nice shot BTW. I hope you caught the river festival today and tomorrow.

Agreed! How do I change a thread title? :thinking:
And no I missed the festival. I am back home now until Monday when I start all over again with a funny working pattern which will assure a dull(er) mind!
Any way on to #2
Glasgow has architecture in bucket loads and this is one of the more modern iconic buildings on the Clyde. Hopefully will feature some of the lovely older stuff in the next two weeks.

No. 1 had such an impact on me on opening the thread so I have got to use the word awesome to describe that one :thumbs:

Help! In the hotel and cannot access my Flickr account to upload images as the "safe" filter is on in the new data stick I took with me. :bang:
It was a picture of my son who has come with me for this week. Will need to sepak to vodafone in the morning. :bat:
Had a great day yesterday at Fort William where I ran the downhill track - 3 times :eek: Had a belter of a fall where I thought I was concussed. I knew I was OK as I could still count my eleven fingers and confirmed I was still 21 years old. :thinking::D
Sorry about the lack of pictures!
tomorrow perhaps.......

What a job to get a photo uploaded using a Vodafone broadband USB stick!
If you see what I see then it won't look very good. I can only say that the original has none of these artifacts however I promised a post and here is one!
After I finished work Greg and I went to Unit 23 indoor skate park. Some of the guys were absolutely brilliant. This guy had a Superman t-shirt on which was particularly fitting as he was flying the whole time!!

I'm really looking forward to this series. So far not disappointed top shots.

Love that last one but what sort of work is an office bound greengrocer doing which requires him to get up at 2.30am? :lol:
:thinking:
Love the first and last dude :thumbs:
Will keep my eye on this :)

Good evening!
Up again in 4 hours so will keep it brief.
Colin asked why I was up at the ungodly hour of 2am. Well I own a food business and as our fresh produce buyer is on holiday it is me that is covering for him. This is a "back to the floor" time for me and I will try to take a camera with me tomorrow (might be a compact). I have to load two artics worth of fruit tomorrow and have them loaded and despatched by 5am ans 7am respectively. The majority of this is, at the time of writing this, not yet bought as quality must be inspected and prices negotiated.
Anyway today was a good day and after a good nights sleep I went shopping with Greg. This is Prince's Square off Buchanan Street. I aimed to give you a panorama but could not get the verticals to align :bonk: :)

Too tired to post last night. These 2am starts are hard!
Any way Greg and I went water skiing yesterday with a friend from the fruit market. This is Greg having his first go at wakeboarding and crossing the wake for the very first time!

I was going to take the camera into the market today but dropped it as I was crossing the car park (TP strap opened at clasp) and broke my 28-70 lens. Looks like Kerso will be getting a call!
