Love the piccies,  apanderson.

You seem to have been lucky with the weather Now Glasgow can be cold and grey and wet as you know

We certainly were lucky with the weather!

It was really a 'spur of the moment' descision to head to the Necropolis as the forecast for the Sunday was rain. I know this mucked up poor Aspin's plans but as you said Gadget, Glasgow on a cold, grey, wet and windy day is pretty miserable. Doesn't bother me too much (being a born n' bred Glaswegian anyway) - I spend half my life in graveyards no matter what the weather's like - I can't help myself!!

On the plus side for 'graveyarding' in the middle of winter - if it's bright enough and the light is 'just right' - you can get some amazing photos. On the down side - you end up with soaking wet mucky knees with kneeling in the snow . . . . . not that that puts me off!

Another few Necropolis photos . . . .

Great photos, Ann.  As the weather suddenly became quite bright, we pretty well had the place to ourselves, and as everyone can see the mid-afternoon light was very good for piccies.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Thanks apanderson for your thoughts
It didn't spoil the day for us a little disappointed at missing you all but saying that I am enjoying all the lovely pictures and we too love to look at the old buildings anywhwere ( don't make them like that now )

By the way in one of the book shops we were looking at a grand little book showing you the old buildings they are taking down and re- building in their place I think it was £9.99

Its a shame to take these buildings down but I suppose they have to

I think most of the old buildings now have to have their facade retained.

In other words, the front of the building will stay the same but it's only a 'facade' - once you get past the front door it's a completely new building. I do like the old buildings - some of the new ones are complete monstrosities.
