that petrol emotion
In an Urban Landscape [03], Glasgow
Forth and Clyde Canal at Maryhill. The structure on the towpath is a 'doocot' (dovecote) or what's more commonly known as a pigeon loft. It's constructed of many layers of corrugated iron and other materials, and has a door which would put a nuclear shelter to shame. I was told by a passing lady that 'the man' comes once a day to tend the pigeons, and sure enough you can hear the birds cooing contentedly away, presumably awaiting their next race.
The structure with floodlight in the middle background, is Firhill Park, home of the famous Scottish Premier League team Partick Thistle, and some would say today, home of the more famous club mascot, (scary) Kingsley. The kids love him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingsley_(mascot)
