After coaching my sons football team and taking photos at the field. When I arrived home my wife pointed out how beautiful the sky was this evening, so I grabbed my camera and started taking photos.
The large granite cenotaph is located in George Square. Set into the front face, near to the top, of the obelisk is a bronze sword. Below caved in relief is the city seal featuring a figure of St Mungo and an incised painted (black) inscription. To the top of the side face are two laurel wreath caved into the stone, below an incised inscription painted (black) and to the rear side 2No. bronze flag poles, with decorative laurel wreath mounting bracket. To the rear face centrally located a caved Imperial coat of arms, below 2No. incised painted (black) inscriptions. To either side a bronze flag pole. In front of the obelisk, a stone sarcophagus set into the ground bears a carved wreath. Enclosing the obelisk is a U shaped low level wall, with incorporated seating raised on a three stepped base. Flanking the wall are two couchant guardant lions. The B listed memorial is sited in front of Glasgow City Chambers. This is the principal monument to Glasgow’s dead killed during the Great War of 1914- 18. The imposing monument by sculptor Ernest Gillick, (1874-1951), and architect, John James Burnet was erected in 1924 and provides a dignified setting for Glasgow’s annual remembrance ceremony where the clergy, dignitaries and Council officials lay wreaths at the Stone of Remembrance. By far the most powerful argument for the setting of the Cenotaph monument arose from the historical and sentimental associations bound up with that particular part of George Square. It was here that Glasgow soldiers were recruited by successive Lords-Lieutenants, and hence they marched to war. It was here also that those who returned took the salute. Glasgow’s monument to the First World War is designed on a rectangular U-Plan, and consists of a central stepped area flanked by a pair of low walls terminating in giant couchant lions. A truncated obelisk (strictly, the cenotaph itself) rises from the eastern side, the upper part of which takes the form of a sarcophagus decorated with four carved wreaths. The central area contains a horizontal slab bearing a relief carving of a large palm leaf and a wreath. Between this and the cenotaph is a simple altar-like block known as the ‘war’ stone or ‘great’ stone. On the front of the cenotaph is a figure of St Mungo in a baldacchino (canopy), which is itself embedded in a Glasgow crest. Attached to the wall above this is a gilded metal cross sculpted into the form of a sword. The rear wall of the cenotaph has an Imperial coat of arms carved in relief and a set of six bronze wreaths attached to flagpoles. Plans to erect the monument were first proposed on 9 February 1920, by Sir James Waston Stewart, who called a public meeting. The monument was finally unveiled by Earl Haig on Saturday, 31st May 1924, in a ceremony attended by many thousands of spectators. Among the guests were Burnet himself and Lord Blythswood, the chairman of the committee supervising the construction, who formally asked the Lord Provost to accept the custody of the memorial on behalf of the Corporation and general body of the citizens. The inscriptions relating to the Second World War were added in 1945. A similar design, but on a smaller scale, was used by Burnet on his Hunter memorial (1925) in Glasgow University

This is the street in front of Reckless Records, by Carolyn's house. The store was moving and they had this huge dumpster out in front and as the staff was moving things and cleaning up their old location they were throwing garbage in the dumpster. They were not throwing REALLY AWESOME RARE OMG LPS into the dumpster. It was garbage. Nonetheless the thing was literally TEEMING with aging hipsters. They were climbing on the sides of the dumpster; they were in the dumpster; it conjured up the image of a frenzy of activity with objects randomly flying up in the air as people were pawing about. So on our way back from (our amazing!) dinner at pingpong we stopped for some pictures, because we're classy like that. Sara and I stood across the street and took pictures of Carolyn and Carrie climbing up and peering into the dumpster. Carrie got some pictures of the dumpster before dinner, when it was much more full of people.
More build shots. That technic brick there serves no purpose, ditto the slope at the bottom. Ah well, they're hidden by the grill.

These rarely confronted and always respected leaders of hardcore were established as one of the meanest-sounding bands in the emerging punk genre, helping to initiate the term "hardcore," and placing an entire uproar on the New York map by association. From the start, AGNOSTIC FRONT released a catalogue of fast and violent punk tunes consisting of distinctive and aggressive drumming, bass work, and a non-stop barrage of chaotic shouting. AGNOSTIC FRONT’s uncontrollable drumming and fuming guitars fill every minute like an onrushing storm of flailing limbs and incinerating transistors. The heavier paced balance between the energy and discipline of their earlier punk roots strikes a taut and vivid rock barrage that moshes in close formation. "It's social politics," Roger states. "The day-to-day reality of waking up, reading the newspaper, and walking around the neighborhood. It's a hard stare on why the world is still one fucked-up place, and we tackle the very real shit that's going down: gentrification's running rampant, street justice, world destruction, working wages, and backs are still being stabbed."
Long outliving their now-legendary contemporaries like Minor Threat, SSD, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag, AGNOSTIC FRONT could easily live off their laurels, but their fight is yet over! Throughout their storied history, AGNOSTIC FRONT have been anything but a ravishing group of individuals living prosperously and content. In fact, the band is more akin to have experienced growing up in adverse streets, undergoing arduous times, serving time in prison, become inflicted with murdered friends, the list would go on perpetually. But while there are definite vestiges of the past affecting them, they manage to continue and expose the conflicts they had to undergo in a compellingly evocative approach by relating it to their views of the world today.
AGNOSTIC FRONT continues to be living embodiment that "hardcore for life" isn't an empty slogan or a musical dead end. No one is born with tattoos. No one's born hardcore. But when the ink or the music sets in, you're changed. Their latest offering reaffirms that AGNOSTIC FRONT as a band, still operates like a musical razor blade. Regardless of their history, the proof is simple: AGNOSTIC FRONT’s anthems are hard, cutting, and the remarkable music continues to broaden with every release. “We support UNITY! We despise ignorance and hatred within our scene. The only people we should be at war with is those who oppress us, not with each other. Unite! Fight the system! Not ourselves! Believe – Hardcore!”
