Looks great once again

Let that man walk through a city where he's having an exhibition and he returns with enough stuff for another..

, Doc!

Not bad!

Normally you can't get near Hall for nouveau riche Chav weddings, all stretch Hummers and sixteen cousins looking like those Flump marshmallow sweets.

There was an "e-Learning" bus outside it when I was there...

Hmm...

All I can imagine is you should be pronouncing it, "Eee, Learning" and they didn't have room for the "By 'eck,"

Your signature goes as a title for that picture..

Very nice.

I took a not-entirely-dissimilar picture down Glasgow's Argyle Street a few days ago. It was approaching sunset and there was just a really nice quality to the light (not sure if my photo quite captured it, but I tried dammit!).

Warm light and long shadows - a great mood to that. I can imagine somebody like the Chemical Brothers using it for a single cover!

6FeetOver · 17 Sep 2007, 19:31

Very nice, all of 'em!

Dark · 17 Sep 2007, 20:02

You're telling me, Carpy. This thread is full of potential coverart for me in future.

Very nice town that... shouldn't say "town" actually, it's Britain's smallest city isn't it, due to the cathedral.

Only been there once, last summer - with someone who occasionally pops up on HL as it happens, in various guises ... lives in Wiltshire (last I heard). The only other person I've ever known who listens to Cindytalk (apart from Cinder himself) The Cindytalk myspace page wouldn't agree with you.
, bit of a gypsy lifestyle-wise you could say...

Hmmmmm ... do I know you from somewhere perchance, "E"?

What?

Actually, just dug it out and it is entirely dissimilar. Sorry Dr!

I still quite like it though!

What?

Shall I take that as a "No" then?

Carpathian Psychonaut · 17 Sep 2007, 20:29

The mood of the light is very much the same though - I can see why the thought entered your head.

All good stuff!

I don't know what you're saying, but I would think a 'No' to 'Do I know you from somewhere?.

If you didn't have a lady called Claire in your home last summer, then no.

Apologies then, if I was off there... some of your posts just really reminded me of someone else who, as I said, has been on here in more than one guise.

No offence intended.

I had many people in my house last summer and two called Claire and I know neither were you.

No offence necessary

Now this is the Glasgow we all know and love:

Of course, if I had Carpy's confidence, this would be a "street portrait" of a Glesga wino pissing into an alcove...

6FeetOver · 17 Sep 2007, 21:05

Cool one, Steven - love the lighting, and how that building in the distance "disappears" at the top, because of it. \m/

Carpathian Psychonaut · 17 Sep 2007, 21:11

That's mighty fine as it is - no wino needed in the slightest!

It's very hard to take a pic from the dark out into the light and that works a treat.

Two Claire's-with-an-i...

crikey jings, what's the chances of that! You must be very popular

No Claire Morrow's I take it? That would just be too weird.

(Yeah, I know it's not the smartest to put your full name on a message board, but it's out there anyway in enough other posts where I'm claiming to be related to Stuart Morrow out of New Model Army

)
