Some new work from the weekend.

Yes, it's true, I have been out and about last week now that I'm feeling a little more mobile again. I'm a huge fan of large heavy machinery and urban decay, so I present my most recent shots from last Sunday at Summerlee Hertitage Park in Coatbridge, Glasgow.



This old crane is now more ornamental than anything else and stands proudly in at the entrance to the park. I really like the way that the light is reflecting off the side here.



This elderly engine is standing right at the back of the park with two other engines, just left to rot and decay. I really like the vibrant colours and textures on the side of the train.



This is an old fire truck which is thriving on neglect, I really liked the location and the shapes made by the truck, the old fence and the mine winch at in the background.



These are the two other engines accompanying the green engine on a disused piece of track. It's such a shame that these once proud machines are just left to ruin.

There are other photographs from this particular outing here. I would really recommend the viewing the larger versions for full impact.

Thanks for looking.

Sometimes...

if you don't blow your own trumpet then nobody else is going to do it for you.

I thought it was time that I unleashed you on some of my own work. Unfortunately, there has not been very much of it in the past while as I have been quite unwell. However, now I am getting back on my feet again I would like to showcase two of my latest shots.




Wheel from the side.




From the rear.

This magnificent structure is The Falkirk Wheel. I have always had a bit of an interest in these things as the Forth and Clyde Canal runs almost directly behind my home, but this superb piece of engineering is not only highly effient, both in terms of time and energy, but is s strangely elegant addition to the landscape.

If you would like to see any more of my work you can find it here.
