Larking Around Glasgow Cathedral (PART II).

Orlasaurus.

You probably can’t tell but as I was taking these photos of my Niece Orla,
She was making the exact same sounds as the Velociraptor’s in Jurassic Park.

She does that quite a lot.
That’s what she does.

The Tolbooth Steeple, Glasgow (PART II).

…From PART I…

These pictures are from a 1915 report on the future of the Tolbooth Steeple at Glasgow Cross..
One idea was to dismantle the steeple and move it across the road where the Mercat building is.

The Plans:

I think the idea was to completely open up the High Street to allow for more traffic.
They might have been onto something because these days, the heavy amount of traffic around the steeple is causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.

I think the steeple would have slotted into that spot just fine although,
I like it where it is.

It’s A Small World.

The Nikon International Small World Competition first began in 1974 as a means to recognise and applaud the efforts of those involved with photography through the light microscope.
Since then, Small World has become a leading showcase for photomicrographers from the widest array of scientific disciplines.

Snowflake:

Crystallized Soy Sauce:

These are just some of the entries for the 36th annual Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition.
