Street shot from Glasgow, Scotland.
A previously unpublished shot from October 2019.
Who can resist a Ferrari huh? Especially one in Rosso Corsa!
I think the Ferrari 458 was the prettiest Ferrari since the Testarossa in the 1980s but this Ferrari 488 is quite a looker too!
Annoyingly I focused on the swage line which tricked my camera into focusing on the road reflections, thus making the car slightly out of focus. I should have focused on the wheels! Oh well, an imperfect shot of the model after the really pretty 458 so it's imperfect all 'round - and it is parked on double yellow lines so imperfection all around. I took this in a hurry for my train and didn't even bother to change my f-stop to have better focus range either. Still a beauty to look at though. Enjoy!

Simply a random snap of a pile of logs that I liked the look of while wandering near to my holiday campsite on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Captured in September 2020.
I hope that you all manage to keep warm this coming winter during the cost of living crisis. Take care of the elderly and vulnerable if you are able as it will hit them the hardest. I hope we have a mild winter for many people's sake. Stay safe my Flickr friends.

Photographed on Barassie Beach in Ayrshire, I have always been fascinated by the different patterns and symmetry or asymmetry of these wave created ripples in the sand. Though, as a child, I was more miffed by how uncomfortable they could be under bare feet while running around the beach.
A strand of seaweed, some shells and a lugworm cast or two speckle the ripples beautifully too. Thankfully there was very little plastic here but at the tide-line it is a different story. I look forward to getting my back up to strength to go and tackle the plastic menace as soon as I can.
Enjoy!

An excerpt from East Kilbride Village that I found looked so magical when speckled with light rain. One of two side by side dog statues (*though at time of photographing one had been stolen and was missing) that guard the one-way exit from The Village in East Kilbride, Scotland.
A sculpture by artist Shona Kinloch who is based in East Kilbride. Searching information online reveals two possible titles for this sculpture as "Twa' Dugs" or "Whistlin'" and while I'm ashamed that I don't know the actual name I can gladly say that I love the statue and it's location.
East Kilbride has been a great place to live for 11 years. Just on the edge of the old village centre and so close to every amenity you could need and just 1/2 hour from Glasgow. I'll be moving to pastures new on Monday and may be offline a short while from this coming weekend. Enjoy!

Urban abstract from Glasgow, Scotland.
The Glasgow flagship store of What Every Woman Wants was the first of a chain of discount stores of the brand around the UK. The Glasgow store was also the first to close and here it is captured just prior to being demolished in October 2019.
Later known as What Everyone Wants the group was founded in the 1970's, a bit like me, and as it is my birthday today I thought make a photographic wish for what this woman wants. Enjoy!
