To be honest, I'd actually forgotten about this until he's posted his pictures, so decided to combine the 'Landmarks' and my New Year ride. So it was up early (one of the advantages of not drinking - I can get up early on New Year's Day!), and out on a cold, wet, and dark morning to take some photos (note some of them needed flash - it was that dark!
No. 1: a castle
Newark Castle, Port Glasgow
No. 2: a telephone box
(do I get an extra point for including a postbox as well?)
No. 3: a postbox
No. 4: a flag (or two)
No. 5: an animal
No. 6: a bridge
(Actually a bridge, in a Bridge, next to a bridge - the bike is on a bridge over a river, in the town of Bridge of Weir, with an old railway bridge in the background)
No. 7: a body of water
(in this case, a body of water that shouldn't be there. It's a flooded field, what'll happen if the water gets as high as the electrical building below the mast?)
No. 8: a religious building
No. 9: a barber shop
(this is my friend Jane's shop)
No. 10: a salvage yard
(this one does architectural salvage - note the strange model 'mouse'!)
No. 11: a railway station
Wemyss Bay Station
(look at the ironwork inside!)
No. 12: a sports ground
(Inverkip Bowling Club)
No. 13: a boat
(The Comet)
(details)
No. 14: graffiti
(sorry this so poor but I really struggled to find any. Seems to gone out of fashion)
No. 15: a statue
No. 16: rust
(will have to stick some paint on that!)
No. 17: rain
(could have used any of the other photos!)
No. 18: a petrol pump
No. 19: a roadsign
(another of Scotland's pointless bilingual roadsigns. How many people in Greenock speak Gaelic? Any? Certainly far fewer than speak Polish, Urdu or Cantonese, so why aren't there signs in those languages?)
No. 20: a memorial
(Free French Navy memorial, Greenock)
(detail)
I really enjoyed going out to take these photos as it gave my New Year's Day ride more of a purpose. Another one for this year?
Good effort Norman Mr Thistledown will be proud of you.
