Love this corner, I see it when I walk out of Central Station. It's always busy at night as a restaurant and I love it most, when it is like this with the sun hitting it in the morning.

Fridays is the name of the Restaurant on the ground floor.

Proof we do see the sun and blue skies in Scotland.

  • This is another frame from some timelapses I am doing. I know I have previously put a similar shot up in sepia. Clearly running out of places to photograph. Although I am away this week to Wales so new material will follow.<br /> <br /> My earlier shot of this is here:-<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jrmurray/6611252509/in/set-72157624600629756">http://www.flickr.com/photos/jrmurray/6611252509/in/set-72157624600629756</a><br /> <br /> I have also put a couple of others below in the comments as I really like the old stone and architectural details of the ancient doorway.
  • Another of the inside of the City Chambers. On this, the southern side the marble is a rich golden colour and the contrasts a deep chocolate.
  • Another view inside Glasgow City Chambers. three stories of marbelled opulence.
  • The marble staircase inside Glasgow City Chambers.<br /> <br /> This is an amazing building. marbled and ornate all over.<br /> <br /> A handheld HDR.
  • Sir Walter Scott sits proudly over the Glasgow Wheel.<br /> <br /> I thought I lost my chance to photograph this as I went in January and they seemed to be removing it. However it has been extended by popular demand.<br /> <br /> I am thankful for my chance to capture a little bit of London in Glasgow. I also have a night shot to follow.
  • A shot looking west at the end of a glorious working day. <br /> <br /> The sky was clear the world seemed slower and I was happy, just me and my camera (and a few young neds passing comment)!<br /> <br /> I always look at the Gala Casino and think anyone who has to name something Gala, just takes the gloss off instantly. Like Gala Church Fair, or Gala School Fete, they're usually the failures, the duds - talked up so much they invariably let you down.<br /> <br /> This one has stood the test of time, I guess no one entering a Casino is really interested in a Gala time so they're not let down.
  • A line of Hackney Cabs outside Central in the evening peak hour.<br /> <br /> I love these quintessentially British icons.
  • The Wheel of Glasgow - or Glasgow Eye.<br /> <br /> I promised a night shot back when I posted this of the square and wheel <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jrmurray/6914663185">http://www.flickr.com/photos/jrmurray/6914663185</a>.<br /> <br /> This was one of the most outstanding sunsets I have seen in a long while and I was excited to get three decent captures in the one night, yesterday's shot, this and another of the Gallery (to follow).<br /> <br /> This is a three shot HDR, I was lucky for the wheel to stop while I was capturing the normally exposed frame - so I overlayed that frame to get the detail of the boxes.<br /> <br /> 5D3 gismodo update : <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5889707/canon-eos-5d-mark-iii-video-chompin-darkness-slaying-digital-single-reflex-camera-pr0n-bring-it">http://gizmodo.com/5889707/canon-eos-5d-mark-iii-video-chompin-darkness-slaying-digital-single-reflex-camera-pr0n-bring-it</a>
  • Not a pub or cafe, but a pizzeria and not in an alleyway.<br /> <br /> However I love this place because of it's name.<br /> <br /> Named after a favourite film of Beccy and mine.<br /> <br /> I also love the wonderful way they have decorated the front on the perfect colours of deep red and gold.<br /> <br /> Looking forward to the 5D3 (X) tomorrow. I love that 'rate' button. <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/tag/5d3/">http://www.canonrumors.com/tag/5d3/</a>

  • A morning reflection of the Tron in in a mirror windowed building in Buchanan Street.<br /> <br /> I have to love Glaswegan locals. While I am taking this a young chap in army surplus camoflage and a dodgy hunting hat walks past and kindly advises me to 'watch out takin' pichas as the pole lice will arrest me for being a terrorist!' Life is never dull.<br /> <br /> Update, so now a man (apparently another non-terrorist) has barricaded himself in restaurant over the road from here. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-16991511">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-16991511</a>" rel="nofollow"> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-16991511">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-16991511</a> .
  • St Andrew's Suspension Bridge sits peacefully over the Clyde at sunrise in late winter. This photo is taken in the other direction from yesterdays and two bridges over to the east.<br /> <br /> It is a panorama similar to a single shot I have posted earlier.<br /> <br /> This one clearly shows the Clyde Tiger an art project commissioned for the Chinese New Year. Also the giant glass roof of St Enoch's Square is visible a street back from the TIger.
  • Love this corner, I see it when I walk out of Central Station. It's always busy at night as a restaurant and I love it most, when it is like this with the sun hitting it in the morning.<br /> <br /> Fridays is the name of the Restaurant on the ground floor.<br /> <br /> Proof we do see the sun and blue skies in Scotland.
  • Early on my way to work the sunrise kisses the sandstone buildings to a lovely shade of gold.
  • A reflection in the window of All Saints Spitalfields in Buchanan Street. These sewign machines fill these huge windows to the width of about 30 - 40 meters by 3 or 4 meters high.
  • This old Police Box is a coffee shop at times in Buchanan Street.<br /> <br /> Right now it is closed. On two or three occasions I have seen a person peeking out offering coffee for sale.<br /> <br /> Maybe Dr Who moonlights? Perhaps his secret job at Starbucks funds his other life as a genius and time traveller.
  • I love this place, having spent 20 or so minutes here every night for four years - And a quick walk through every morning.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> It's Central Station in rush hour. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This is a 39 shot high saturation HDR = seven overlapping shots on the floor and six for the glass roof. I normally don't use the over saturation of this effect as I like 'realistic' shots. However the abundance of white here just washed away an interior that is just truly stunning to my eye.
  • A shot in rush hour at the front front of Glasgow Central Station.<br /> <br /> It's the sepia version of the HDR posted earlier. My family liked this version the best.
  • A shot in rush hour at the front front of Glasgow Central Station.<br /> <br /> It's an HDR as the light was a little challenging between the bright canopy and lovely yellow lights on the building opposite.<br /> <br /> I love coming out here first thing in the morning - it's like I am living a Century ago. Sometimes with the transport system here I feel I am! On a clear day your often greeting with a lovely band of golden morning light picking the detail on the buildings opposite.
  • If you saw my post here <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jrmurray/6758949289/in/photostream/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/jrmurray/6758949289/in/photostream/</a> then you would know I am quite mad. <br /> <br /> This is actually a photograph of a place where people cross into the parallel universe. Its a portal right here in Glasgow. Lucern has nothing on Glasgow with its Large Hadron Collider. <br /> <br /> Seriously, this is Buchanan Street on a wet day after work. Flipped vertically (ie: you're looking at the reflection) and horizontally for added effect.
