River Clyde at dusk - cause this is a mighty town, Its built upon solid ground And everything they tried so hard to kill, We will rebuild

I’ve just counted to 10!! To be honest I see a lot of similarities in the two cities and their river sides. The bridge in this shot is very like the Millennium Bridge on the Tyne although ours is bigger & better! ;)

You can take the girl out of Tyneside but you can't take Tyneside out of the girl.

Palmina Moore, on November 4, 2007, said:

LOL!!!! LIKe DUH!!!!!! does yours "wink"?

No they are a lot alike, we have a great deal to thank our Rivers for. Have you heard Jimmy Nail's song Big River? It is about the Tyne and it is a great tribute to the shipbuilding industry.

Stick me anywhere in the world it wouldn't matter......I'll never be anything other than a Geordie,

Muy hermosa toma, Billy. El arco del puente se ve precioso con esa luz azul, que has logrado captar estupendamente. ¡Felicidades!

Un saludo fraterno desde Chile.

Thanks for your very nice comment Erwin. Greetins from Scotland.

Gracias por su comentario muy agradable Erwin. Greetins de Escocia.

I haven't heard Big River but I look out for it. I hope it's better than Gazza singing Fog on the Tyne!! I do like Jimmy Nail both as an actor & singer.

They’re great lyrics that could be sung about any proud city that has seen their industries run down over the year. Beautiful & very optamistic.

Did you see this shot of the Millennium Bridge Palmina?

Beautiful photo Billy-greetings mossip

Billy B@rk, on November 5, 2007, said:

Thanks a lot mossip.

Billy B@rk, on November 5, 2007, said:

Thanks Anne. This is a new bridge which I think looks best at night.

Billy B@rk, on November 5, 2007, said:

Palmina, do you think Jimmy will mind me using his lyrics in my title?

Palmina Moore, on November 5, 2007, said:

Billy I'm sure he wont. It is a great song isn't it. I think my hubby cries each time he hears it. His Dad work and died with the ship yards.

Billy B@rk, on November 5, 2007, said:

You & your husband should be very proud of the way Newcastle has responded to the loss of the shipbuilding. I think Jimmy Nail's song is very optimistic.

Lilypon, on November 5, 2007, said:

Wonder picture Billy and that blue is spectacular! If my son makes it home I'll be sure to show him your Gallery (if not I'll send him a link to it).

Billy B@rk, on November 5, 2007, said:

Thanks Pam. The bridge is only a year old so your son probably hasn't seen it.

Billy B@rk, on November 6, 2007, said:

Palmina, after reading your comment about your father-in-law’s background I listened to Big River again & even I had a lump in my throat. I’m not surprised your husband gets emotional listening to it.

Palmina Moore, on November 6, 2007, said:

Thanks Billy. It is a great song for those of us who have a River (be it the Tyne or the Clyde) in our blood. Kevin will be pleased someone else had heard and likes this song too.

cheers and warm regards, Palmina

Nice one Billy, its a place I always mean to visit but have never made it yet, some day soon I hope. On my list now of "favorites"

Billy B@rk, on November 25, 2007, said:

Cheers David. I've had a look at your excellent gallery & you seem to have been everywhere but Glasgow!

I love this reflection. Nice place.

Billy B@rk, on December 13, 2007, said:

Thanks Cheryl. This bridge is so new that it doesn't even appear in Google Earth!

Great pic Billy. Took some around Govan to-day. Check them out.

Billy B@rk, on December 18, 2007, said:

Cheers Jim. I had a look at your Clyde shots & thought they were very good. It is a very nice area to take photos.

Scotland is very high on my list "country's to vistit ". I hope you don't mind I'll visit the Tyne as well as th eClyde? ;-) Great shot anyway. Greetings, Bart from Flanders.

Cheers Bart. No worries about the Tyne. :)

Actually it’s a lot like the Clyde.

Susan @llen, on October 19, 2008, said:

Fantastic, the way the reflection makes a hoop out of the arch, and that electric blue zing...wow! Love that!

Cheers, sue ( I also love your obvious pride and love for the place, shining through in your choice of words for the title..)

Billy B@rk, on October 19, 2008, said:

Thanks once again for a very nice comment Sue. You are right about the pride I feel for Glasgow but I have to confess that the words used are from a song about Newcastle, but I thought they were just as appropriate for Glasgow. :)

Susan @llen, on October 19, 2008, said:

Yes, they are equally fitting, I'd say! And by the way, you're very welcome to my comments, I only get enthused over good photos, and my word, yours are good!

Very best wishes, sue

Joe Porter, on October 25, 2008, said:

The reflection of the 'Squinty Bridge' on the surface of the River Clyde is most eyecatching. You have placed the elements perfectly in the frame. The composition is outstanding.

I'm in to looking at photos of Glasgow Billy. You and Alan are making the city into something really special. Blue rainbows as well. :)

But Glasgow is special Amelia! :D

My twin and I are coming up to Glasgow for the first time so I decided to have a look on Google. I realise there may be similar sights to be seen elsewhere but what a wonderful picture this is. Can't wait to visit this city and get a feel for it's people. If you're anything like us we will appreciate your love for where you live.

Billy B@rk, on January 28, said:

Cheers Nanna. I hope you enjoy your visit to Glasgow. The riverside is very nice. :)
