Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland, captured in March 2025.

I just loved that the taxi was sat there in almost perfect symmetry with the brutalist architecture of the former Royal Bank of Scotland cash reserve on West George Street, a veritable fortress that is now disused.

On the subject of money and transport - we are on the verge of an oil and energy crisis not seen since the 1970s. Let's be clear about it, if our lives start to fall apart from cost of living rises, energy shortages, water shortages (in the Middle East) and global supply chain issues, that this crisis was caused by just two old men hell bent on war and destruction. Make them accountable.

Take care in this insane world my Flickr friends.

The steam train had just pulled into Pickering station after it`s journey from Whitby, it then uncoupled from the other end and came back around here to couple up to pull back out, the driver engineer got down from his cab and walked to the back of the engine, I then had my shot, I have desaturated slightly for effect.

I did shoot a video on the R5 of the train arriving which would have been the first video I have done on it, it`s not brilliant but I may post it at some point.

Pulling into the parking lot at our doctor's office, I saw this cute black lab patiently sitting in the driver's seat of the car opposite me and intently watching the building entrance. It was a cloudy day in August, and due to tinted windshields, low light, and my rushing to an appointment, even my iPhone 13 couldn't get a good image. But, as so often happens, poor images make for fun sliding. So - here is Mr. or Ms. Black Lab, in a significantly transformed scene for Sunday.

I started with the PSE winters filter, which turned things mostly monochrome and a lot lighter. I then used several Jixipix filters: spektrel and portrait painter, to get the swirled look to the trees; saturated the green a bit in iMac photos; back to Jixipix for artista sketch and finally snow daze. I tried to put the original in the first comment box, but that doesn't usually work for me, so...

What is one thing the average driver can't stand? Well of course one answer could be a slow driver in the fast lane, Highway Patrol posted up in the most annoying spot possible, or maybe even that damn check engine light. However, the answer I was looking for was waiting for a train, and during this trip for the crew of a southbound, they would see three cars try to beat the train. One was a truck just south of Maxwell, which a buddy and I saw, another in Arbuckle, and then another here just outside Williams. However, this driver was particularly stupid.

Although my friend and I didn't see this happen as we were taking photos at the time, another friend who was one of the crew members explained to me what happened. As the train was approaching the crossing, a white SUV went around the gates in an attempt to beat the train, but then suddenly stopped. Although there was nobody in front of this car, whoever was driving then proceeded to backup almost into the gate, and due to the angle of the crossing got within only a few feet at most of being hit, narrowly avoiding an expensive and embarrassing trip to the auto shop. The crew obviously was pissed, and the conductor got out to yell at the driver as they passed by. It was only after the power had passed that my friend and I on the ground noticed the SUV, and we laughed knowing well that driver probably needed a new pair after that.

P.S.: The driver is not this funny being on the left side!

Sometimes, drivers get more information from reflection .

LOCATION : Amber, India

Not sure whether this driver is suitably qualified! Grab is the local taxi app - Thailand's version of Uber

Newly chaged Route 8 & 9. Also 789 on driver training

This is a very busy crossing that can turn a ten minute journey into town into a twenty minute journey.

Pit stop at Preston Park

The driver of 78018 climbs back onto the footplate after checking his loco.

1mm tip of a jewellers screwdriver. Available window light using vintage105mm Micro Nikkor @ f5.6 with 56mm extension tube.

Just for shits and giggles, take a pic of a large pile driver at a construction site. Turn said pic 90-degrees counterclockwise, and convert to B&W.

Still get a pretty cool image. Who says ya gotta show 'em as ya shot "em. (I once won a photo competition with a picture that had lost a few weeks prior. Brought it back, turned it upside down, et voila. First Place.)

Only my special wife could come up with a rarity like this to brighten me up. A much cooler figure than I expected and awesomelly armed. Thanks Deanne!
