[Geomonkey]

so 8 people have looked at this post and decided it was too boring a topic. PLEASE can someone suggest a cool place to take snowy photos in this great city?

I'm bored and want to get some good shots. even if it is nearly five and freaky freezin'

I have walked for nearly 7 hours today in Glasgow in sunny but sub zero temp I took 12 pictures.
If you want to find nice pictures of Glasgow you need to switch yer PC off and go outside and
have a wee look yourself darling.

[Geomonkey]

so did you find any nice spots then?
if you spent 7 hours and only got 12 (although I'm sure good) pictures then where did you take them?

p.s switching off the computer would mean having to stop work. i was simply looking for some advice....darling.

can anyone help or is this Hidden FROM EACH OTHER Glasgow?

Hi, if after your first post, you waited 14 minutes before berating forum members for a lack of response to your request, you might care to think that your response was a bit OTT.
Forums rely on members helping and being helped, to be honest your initial contribution doesn't seem to highlight you as someone who would help others, so perhaps its Karma for you.

Depends what you want - botanics and glasgow green are good for lots of white type pics.
Somewhere high up with a telephoto lense if you want to see city centre,
A helicpopter for overhead shots.

If our illustrious and somewhat belligerent new member took the time to go through the photography section (not even the full section mind, just the December and January Glasgow City sections - y'know .. when the snow actually fell) he might find what he's looking for in there. In fact I'm sure they would.

This place is a mine of useful information and wonderful insights into our fair city .. instead of shouting the odds at being (very moderately) castigated, just use a bit of the old noodle matter and that way you'll at least have an excuse for making a request from the knowledgable and the city wise on this here place rather than breenging in and rubbing folks up the wrong way.

People here, more often than not, are more than willing to point new members in the right direction v.v. information or image requests but there's a right way and a wrong way to go about these things.

Stop.

Have a think about what you want.

Take a quick look in the relevant sections first. If nothing's doing, do a search - a quick search first, then a deeper search should the initial search give you a plethora of choices (as it often does in this gold mine of all things Glaswegian.)

Still nothing doing? Now's the time to ask your question. Just be nice and no-one will bite you for it.

Just be thankful our Dex is offline - you would have lost fingers getting shirty without searching first around our resident rottweiler.

According to Flyman, you get great chicken pakora from that place he mentioned in Laverockhall St.

What Doorstop said.

What is 'good', anyway? There's a gap in the trees in Bellahouston Park where you can sledge from the footpath down to the park below. But there's also a ridge two thirds of the way down, such that virtually everyone comes flying off when they hit it. It's brilliant. But good? Up to yourself. Loads of folk think The Beatles are good. I think they're pretty ordinary at best, personally. And there you have it.

Sacrilege!

Someone hang that man from a lamp post!!!

Old fogey. You're herewith sentenced to 18 hours of 'The Frog Chorus', 'Mull of Kintyre', 'War is over (if you want it)', 'My Sweet Lord' and other such things. Take him away.

Erm, none of those songs were by the Beatles.

Paul McCartney, John Lennon & The Wee Japanese Oddity and George Harrison sure, so each of them were by or involved a Beatle - but NOT by The Beatles.

And I have to admit a slight liking for Mull of Kintyre

[Josef]

Och, I know that stuff. But yer average Beatles fan is such a fan that it's dead easy to wind them up.

I think we may be on the wrong thread here, though.
