Kelpies Taxi Cab - Glasgow Scotland 2017
Visiting Glasgow 13/11/17 I loaded my Nikon and decided to get some shots around Finneston , I had captured the Hydro, SEC Armadillo then crossed over Bells bridge , I found this taxi advertising the Kelpies parked outside the BBC television studios along with about ten other black cabs though this was the only one that caught my eye.
I asked the driver if I could take some shots, he very kindly agreed, I was delighted.

The Kelpies are 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland.
The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013.[2] The sculptures form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal, and the new canal extension built as part of The Helix land transformation project. The Kelpies are a monument to horse powered heritage across Scotland.
The sculptures opened to the public in April 2014.
As part of the project, they will have their own visitor centre, and sit beside a newly developed canal turning pool and extension. This canal extension reconnects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the River Forth, and improves navigation between the East and West of Scotland.
