LNER 246 "Morayshire" approaches Bo’ness station. The image shows a light green steam train with a visible part of a carriage attached to its front, left-hand end and a driver leaning out as the engine reverses to the right. There are trees that are not in leaf this side of the railway line with a fence and grass. The sky is light blue.

#OTD 20 years ago I went to Callendar House in #Falkirk for a concert by Glasgow Improvisors Orchestra with Barry Guy and Maya Homburger, performing "Witch Gong Game 11/10" based on graphical work by Alan Davie.
Painter / saxophonist Davie (1920-2014) was born locally in #Grangemouth.
This concession ticket was my son's; good value a long way from current ticket pricing!

Concert ticket from 2005, priced at 3 GBP

About 24 years ago, I met them for the first time and we worked together in various ways ever since; manufacturer-dealer, non formal business relationship, photography client, employee-employer and now as a subcontracter for photography and marketing services. It works great, both in the office in #Falkirk, on site covering their projects and here in the office in NL working on digital marketing!

With origins that date back to the mid-1100s and looking like a French château transplanted into Falkirk, the stunning Callendar House was built close to the line of the Roman Antonine Wall and is now an impressive museum.

Callendar House. The image shows a view along a red gravel approach track between embankments covered in trees. At its end is a lawn and beyond that is an ornate honey coloured stone château with its entrance in line with the centre of the frame. It extends out of both sides of the frame and there are more trees visible beyond it. The scene is in sunlight coming from the left.

Something to bear in mind in light of the Unite the Kingdom march and how it is reported
https://youtu.be/LHzqAZXrXOw

Just how many people attended "100,000" or "3 million"; how many arrests were made - and for what offence (mindfull that 500 arrests were made during the Notting Hill Carnival); why did the Police close the authorised route, and just how many people were involved in the ensuing scuffle?

The videos I've seen of people there don't quite match the msm's headlines (not entirely surprising)

Fascists are coalescing in #Falkirk again tomorrow. Last time was a shitshow, this one will likely be a shit show as well. #AntiFascism

#FotoVorschlag In die Luft geschaut- Kelpie, 30 metres tall, gazing upwards. #horsesofmastodon #scotland #falkirk

I took this photo a few years ago. It shows one of The Kelpies, two 30 metre monumental high horses heads sculptures by artist Andy Scott. This is the highest equine sculpture in the world. Constructed of stainless steel shards, this powerful horse’s head is looking upwards into the sky with light permeating the metal structure. The sheer scale and effect of the light are stunning, dominating the surrounding area. All against a blue sky with a wispy cloud or two. This commemorates industrial heritage and kelpie folklore. A must-see if you are ever in Scotland.

"Our Kids Futures"!? Let me guess, they're only on Facebook.

Too stupid to realise they're f'cking racists.

Remember, to this Labour government the Counter Protestors are the terrorists and the White Horde looking to burn some foreigners are having "valid concerns"

Falkirk Council has hit a key climate target five years ahead of schedule.

The local authority has cut its organisational carbon emissions by 75 per cent based on 1990 levels.

The council’s 2024/25 emissions figures confirm the reduction, which is a major milestone in its work towards Net Zero.

A target of a 75 per cent reduction in emissions, from 1990 levels, by 2030 had been set out in Falkirk Council’s Climate Change Strategy

"THE KELPIES" are monumental sculptures welcoming visitors to the Scottish Highlands.

Perfect to start a series of posts with photos from my recent trip through the western Highlands and some of the Inner Hebridean Islands.
