Another Thursday, another set of fantastic photos. L.P. Hartley was correct, " The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there. " Keep up the amazing work.

Many thanks for another great collection! For me the photo of Trongate at 1:45 is a real winner. There's so much atmosphere in the picture and to get a single individual in the shot was a stroke of genius. You can just feel the chill night air and the solitude. I wonder what time of night it was.

Thanks Colin. Love the atmospheric Trongate photo with no vehicles in sight. I think its later in date than you first imagine. The pedestrian crossing lights suggest 1970's or 1980's to me.

The picture of George St 1979. . The building to the left of the pic, with the row of very small windows at the side of the building was either a tech or art college in 1976. I met a very beautiful girl there in Feb 1976 and we were together for the remainder of that year, she was from Netherlee, just outside Glasgow, I was from Perth . Later, my circumstances meant I would be leaving Scotland for a number of years, so we broke up. I still think about her often. Thank you for your great images of the Glasgow I very fondly remember and miss.

@@COYBIG1967 Yes, and thank you for this comment. I'm in Glasgow often and regardless of where I wander there, these memories come flooding back to me. It was a glorious summer in 76, which makes it even more memorable, so it's still pretty fresh in my mind. You are also right in saying that images like these bring it all back. Maybe one day we will bump into each other again, to share our life experiences, who knows ?. She was very special and also very beautiful, it's very hard to forget someone like that. I hope she is well. Thank you again and good wishes to you.

Jackie Gleason - the Great One - said of Mickey Rooney ...he would have been as accomplished an actor as Lord Laurence Olivier if he was 6 feet tall ! His height of 5ft 2" hindered him greatly in parts offered over his career . He was a brilliant talent but would have been even better if taller ...Jackie called his wee pal ' spider ' .
