Why not start some new sections on this section.

We have seen sunsets, animals, water,trees and lots of others that are the subject of topics in Photography or the Chat Room. I am sure everyone would appreciate seeing some of our overseas friends photos of where they live and if there is a Glasgow link that would add to the theme of Hidden Glasgow.

Thanks very much to both doonunda and ozneil for sharing some of their photos. Hopefully we will get to see even more.

Not quite Glasgow. Pic is of the "South Steyne" last Sydney Harbour Ferry built in Scotland (Leith) and sailed out here in 1938, withdrawn from the Manly- Circular Quay ( city centre) run in 1980s It is a double ender ie propeller & rudder at each end & 2 bridges, never has to turn.

This time NYC; March 2005 and Frrrrreeeeeeezing cold.
Looking NE towards Bronx and La Guardia beyond.

Chrysler v Trump

And Chrysler wins by a flagpole!
Note the completely unimpresive UN Building by the river, reminds me of the Coledge of Building and Print.

Cheers Josef,
I took Our Lady from behind in this photo as opposed to the usual face on from the Old Square.
FYI I stayed in the Hotel Josef

You could have phrased that with a tad more care Bex mate.

"I took Our Lady from behind" .. Oh, Matron! ::):
I like him ... He says "Okie Dokie!"

Well, he did refer to himself as an old square, after all.
