Queens Park Glasgow February 2nd 2009

From Glasgow Snow

Jon and myself had a little after work session making the most of conditions at Queens Park in Glasgow's South side. Avoiding tots on sledges, neds and the like we managed top shred the rad just a stone's throw from our flats and even got chips afterward. How cool is that?

Linn Park


Took a walk to Linn Park today. This is the second largest park in Glasgow, full of history and wildlife. It is the location of Cathcart Castle and the viewpoint where Mary Queen of Scots watched the battle of Langside before fleeing to England. It was a soft day and the 1.5 mile walk is one I should have made sooner. The park is huge with the river Cart flowing through. Birds include the usual mallard, wren, tits, robin, sparrowhawk even a dipper was spotted. Light was at a minimum so didn't get many shots. However on the walk home along the river a kingfisher was glimpsed in the dusk, the second time I've seen one on the river!
