Tower blocks and football grounds, Dundee
Dundee's two senior football clubs, Dundee FC and Dundee United FC have stadia next door to each other. In this shot, the blue ground (behind the block of flats with the blue stripe) is Dens Park, home of Dundee FC, while the further away ground, with the tangerine seats, is Tannadice Park, home of Dundee United FC. It is supposed to be the case that the goals at the two closest ends of each ground are closer to each other than they are to the ones at the other end of the pitch, but that may be an urban myth. This shot was taken on a Saturday afternoon at the beginning of 2011-12 season. Had I taken the shot a little earlier, you would have been able to see the (rather sparse) crowd in Tannadice Park. It was to disperse rather rapidly as United slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Dunfermline.
