1st: Its a photo by "headphonaught" -cool!!
2nd: Love this bridge - its peaceful around it, compared to others in Glasgow
3rd: The person behind "F**kYeahGlasgow" on Tumblr is my brother & as some of you will know "headphonaught" is a good friend of mine
- so I've got a bit of a 'Pride Party' in my head & heart when they share their passions in the same space on this 'Internet thing'
Cool!!! :-))

Via Tumblr....
"fuckyeahglasgow:
South Portland Street Suspension Bridge, Glasgow
via - headphonaught
This bridge was begun in 1851 and suffered a set-back during its construction.
After the masonry towers had been completed and the main suspension chains erected, the south tower split from top to bottom. The Greek triumphal arch towers now seen in the bridge were the result of a substantial re-build.
In 1870 the bridge closed for extensive repairs. The chains and deck were completely removed, the wrought iron bars forming the chains were re-headed and additional bars provided, the timber deck was replaced by wrought iron framework and the deck profile was lowered by about 7ft.
The deck and hangers were again substantially renewed in 1926. However, the masonry towers remain as originally built in 1853, and are therefore the oldest surviving elements in Glasgow’s Clyde bridges."

365 Project of 2010

I have created a 2nd Tumblr Blog just for my 365 project photos...
Have a look here & do what you will... Follow, gaze or move on ...it is all fine by me.


365-10 = 1 Picture a day for 2010
At least that's the hope & theory!

My favourite 365-10 pictures will be still be posted to this blog ( just not every day!)

Love my Love...

...even when she is face down in snow!!!


But I love her for "just being her" no matter what anyone thinks! She is quite happy to fall flat on her face - obviously!


(Unique isn't a big enough word!)

Those "in the know" (whatever!) say I'm biased - but I haven't met anyone who would disagree with me!

I will no doubt be making Lauren squirm by posting this blog - but sometimes everyone needs a "shout it from the rooftops" moment!

End Result of snow-fall? A Snowman on a hill.. s'pose that's an excuse for falling over (hill not the snowman)

This Video makes me smile -Animoto does a good job- Will make for good memories in years ahead

Latest A Hint of Bergamot Pic

Just thought I would (once again) plug A Hint of Bergamot - a photo blog a number of my online friends & I are submitting photos to… I would encourage you to have a look & if so inclined, join us!!

"a hint of bergamot makes a cup of tea into a cup of "Earl Grey" tea... from something ordinary into something special.

This "photoblog" is a collection of photographs where we document the specialness in the ordinary... if that makes any sense whatsoever?"

The Picture above isn’t new (duh it’s date-stamped Alex!) but does sum up my Monday Mood
