Urban landscape shot from East Kilbride, Scotland.
I live nearby and in May 2021 there was a very loud 'boom' and my windows and doors rattled violently. Archie the cat was very distressed and it wasn't immediately apparent what had happened.
There had been a gas explosion in this flat in the village centre. The roof had caved in, the walls were bulging and the windows had been blown out to where I am standing in this shot. It was a massive blast but, thankfully, there were only minor injuries for the owner of the flat. The rest of the block had escaped unharmed.
Now, almost a year later, work is about to start to rebuild and restore the flats to their former state. Having been empty all of this time, and still filled with people's belongings, I imagine there will be some damp clean-up required in all of the homes too.
I took this shot as I wandered around East Kilbride making some 'memory' photographs before I move home next month.
My heating engineer 'gas man' said that gas explosions were very rare and the following week I read about several happening in the UK. Be sure to get your heating systems checked at least once a year by a properly accredited engineer. Take care my Flickr friends.

The Valerian plant has a beautiful cluster of tiny flowers staged like a ball. I love this flower. Doesn't look like fireworks? :-)
In the garden.
Have a fantastic weekend, my friends.

There are few places you'd go to not really expecting to see something spectacular because the weather isn't that great to begin with...
On the other hand, there are times when the weather is too good and you'd pray for a little clouds as without them there are no colours...
When I was in Elgol, the weather was simply too good that I never really expected to see an explosion of colours that the air almost turned golden around me which was a classic view.
I enjoyed sitting by the beach watching the storm that was brewing way into the horizon over the Cuillin ranges...

Hope everyone is doing good as ever!
Thanks for viewing and have a nice weekend!
Camp was freaking amazing... running and around and taking down the GDI... and spending time with some of the most amazing people on the planet! Ori and Bubby & I got to all spend time together, despite being over 2,000 miles away... and honestly it wasn't just the highlight of my camp it was one the biggest highlights of my 2020. Here we are in a narrow escape from an explosion!
