I took this city photography in and around Scotland, but there are a few from cities beyond. They are good for exploring architecture and textures, trying to knit a view of interest while excluding extraneous detail. Random things happen in cities.
I am a fundamental Hasidic unorthodox follower in Lord Monty’s second 8th-day compendium of devout agnosticism. In other words I believe in the you and me in the here and now. You may notice imagery in this blog of other churches and cathedrals, not because I’m aligned to one wing of religion, but because the buildings are rather stunning. What people built long ago using primitive tools and methods remain standing today and put many modern building to shame (looking at you 1970’s). There was such powerful combinations of belief, money, power and fear to invest so many lives and years of toil to design and erect. Shelters to gather and spread the doctrines of their belief. Many sited on prominent ground, near hilltops. They do inspire, architecturally of course.
So I did more testing of photographers tools in a walk around the east end of Glasgow at Christmas and shot parts of Glasgow Cathedral which was my first visit then a few city centre street shots. It was dusk and near pitch dark in the Cathedral, but all the light is ambient and seasonal.
We watched Star Trek at Glasgow’s IMAX. So impressed I bought a JJ ABRAMS filter on Etsy and tried it out on Glasgow’s Pacific Quay. Wow even the drain covers shone.
