After a while everything becomes a historical document. When I took pics of the Schipka Pass in the Gallowgate I thought a dustcart was the most interesting thing in frame, but it was the old houses behind that were the real matter -<br /><br /><br />http://glasgowalbum.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/schipka-pass-down-and-walk-through.html<br /><br />burned down in one of many of Glasgow's convenient fires removing inconvenient buildings.<br /><br />I am proud to be a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles. Some day the trifles become significant.<br /><br />In the next of the London posts <br /><br /><br />http://browse.feedreader.com/c/A_Glasgow_Album/18731422<br /><br />we go through Regent St, where the Cafe Royal used to be. I was there after the dedication of the Oscar Wilde window at Westminster Abbey. From the post -<br /><br /><br />I was only in the Cafe Royal once, on 14 February 1995, the day of the unveiling of the memorial to Oscar in Westminster Abbey; a minibus took us from the Abbey to here. Lilies were laid under the Abbey window by Oscar's daughter-in-law, Thelma Holland, who died a few weeks later. Bones and silence.<br /><br /><br />Wish I had taken pics in the Cafe Royal - even 1995 is receding into antiquity.Edwin Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317173893948248954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606168725856528307.post-42194301152060418012013-02-26T23:11:48.131+00:002013-02-26T23:11:48.131+00:00Great lens work Edwin.
