Day: October 9, 2014

I took a trip into Hamilton today and went for a wander round the town. I really went to see if I could get some cheap paints in the Ink Spot. Yes, they did have some good quality paints, unfortunately they were at good quality paint prices. I then resorted to taking some photos. I’ve always liked these wee dugs dotted around Hamilton and my brother has photographed them many a time. There seems to be something about burgh towns that means the council has to spend more money on them while the other towns and villages around them suffer. Such is the case with Hamilton, but I’m not complaining too much because I like these wee dugs that guard the sinusoidal seats.

Unfortunately, he was in Inverness, not Paris.

Actually my first title as soon as I saw this was “Save the life of my child” by Paul Simon, because of the first line “Good God, don’t jump!”. By the way, Wikipedia claim that the album “Bookends” came out in 1968! Now that just can’t be true. That’s over 45 years ago and I remember buying the LP, yes, LP when it came out. It couldn’t be 45 years ago, no way!

Caught this bloke having a fag in an alley in Inverness. Managed two shots before he clocked me. One of the problems of having a camera with a focal plane shutter, mirrorless or not.

This guy seemed to be quite deep in the river, but when I looked a bit closer, he was only ankle deep. Probably on a long shelfing gravel bed. Great colours in the trees.
