my favorite city in the world; of course there's more than one thread worth of pics...but here's the condensed version.

pics from mid and late july this year. i met up with gleegieboy for a mini-meet in late-july, on a day with shite weather,

so some of the pics were between ducking pub to pub. but the next day, the skies were clear. too bad my head wasn't. :cheers:

anyway, on w/the pics:

bucking the pano as last pic trend, a 360 from The Lighthouse, formerly a newspaper office, now a design and architecture museum/observation deck

it never fails, it never fails, just like the last time i was in Glasgow, someone at night asked if i wanted to take their picture; of course i did, click here to see the last time, at night (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=235957)

http://www.pbase.com/lsyd/image/51478446.jpg

top floor of my dorm had a nice view of the science centre tower; too bad it was closed, otherwise me and gleegieboy'd have gone up its deck

http://www.pbase.com/lsyd/image/51478447.jpg

and just like when i arrived for the first time in 2005, my departure was marked with a fire on the horizon;
like i said, my favorite city in the world, giving me a grand welcome and sendoff

beautiful. my favourite city in the world too. but feeding pigeons should be made illegal...

Jesus LSyd these picture threads of Glasgow get better with every one.

Really man, I know I've said it before, but you really know how to capture a city. Awesome stuff. Puts a smile on my face when I see someone who really does Glasgow justice.

Top Notch. :)

there's a guy who looks pretty angry that you're taking his picture. tho you've evidently survived the encounter

his girlfriends got a pretty big nose - maybe he didn't want the world to see. i'm evidently giving it too much thought now

^^^You havin a chat to yourself there, cities? lol ;)

Your right though - one little pic of the girlfriend......:

.....And the boyfriend is raging:

How possesive.....

;)

haha you're evidently too clever for someone like me who just talks to himself all the time

haha you're evidently too clever for someone like me who just talks to himself all the time
:lol:

You are right about the actual picture in question though - that bloke looks miffed.... :)

thanks y'all.

as far as dude being pissed...the memory's kinda hazy, but i think a car or bicycle almost hit him while he was crossing the road. you can see him and his big-schnozzed girly in the pic before that.

or maybe he's just pissed off that she's touching him?

i didn't put up the pic from sauchiehall street of the neds, with the one who called me a "fookin' voyeur." after he did that, i just took another pic, pointing the camera right at him.

Lovely stuff, its always nice to see your pictures as you capture the people that live in the city aswell! good job.

where did you stay? to be honest i always the science tower looked shorter than it is - being right by the river, but it looks huge from your dorm!!

Sufficiently teased.

so when do we get to see the rest? :crazy: :happy: :cool:

thanks y'all.

Lovely stuff, its always nice to see your pictures as you capture the people that live in the city aswell! good job.

always my goal to show the city's people; without them it's just a bunch of empty buildings.

as cities burn, i stayed at the Cairncross House dorm; it's pretty close to the tall ship.

tayser, the rest'll be up in...maybe a week or two.
