I got my faults

My brain, she talks

Why you do that?

Losing lots of sleep, to dreams

It's hard to stay ahead of me

Burning all the memories

Falling asleep, falling asleep

You're like the liquor, I like the taste

You're something different, okay okay

I got my faults

My brain, she talks

Why you do that?

Losing lots of sleep, to dreams

It's hard to stay ahead of me

Burning all the memories

Falling asleep, falling asleep

Okay okay

Okay okay okay okay okay

From Wikipedia on the name Strider; Aragorn II, son of Arathorn is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He is one of the main protagonists of The Lord of the Rings. Aragorn was a Ranger of the North, first introduced with the name Strider at Bree, as the Hobbits continued to call him throughout The Lord of the Rings. He was eventually discovered to be the heir of Isildur and rightful claimant to the thrones of Arnor and Gondor. He was also a confidant of Gandalf and an integral part of the quest to destroy the One Ring and defeat the Dark Lord Sauron.

I'm attempting to use more colour and trying a different style of street photography.

The lagoon was low as it was open to the sea after heavy rain. They like to eat fish, including flounders, shrimps and other crustaceans, aquatic insects, and frogs. If you would like to know more: www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/royal-spoonbill

This is an interesting shot in terms of reflections, because one would normally think that part on the left was the "real world", I think, due to the way those shots normally work. In this case though, the whole thing's a reflection as you can tell by the word "Hotel" written backwards in the background across the street. I'll be interested to hear how many people you think are actually in the frame...anyway, happy Friday everyone...

Full of chatter as always and yet most of the time what they talk about is a great mystery to me...

I typically like to shoot when the weather is "interesting", and to me a sunny bluebird day is not interesting.

But I went out anyway and suffered through the sunshine and carefree vibes.

Looking down from Cat Bells.

My only previous sighting of these beautiful birds was a distant one.

It was therefore thrilling to see two of them today at close quarters.

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

Slippery wet paving, freezing temperatures and there I am with a dodgy ankle, hip pain, hobbling and limping around carefully in proper hiking boots... oh to be young and carefree to stride around at full speed in platforms with total abandon.

I do love to see some individual style in the street. Enjoy.

P.s. the writing "Trouble Maker" on the bag is reversed, I haven't flipped the photo horizontally at all.
