Yeah, no one really pays attention in The Thread.

Last week we had a day out at work. An Away Day to visit the work done at one of our sites.

This year we went to Stirling Castle to see the work done on the Royal Palace.

Castle

Great Hall built in 1503 for James IV. Painted in a hideous pink colour.

Inside the Palace.

Throne Room

Replicas of the original roof with the carved heads

Original Head

Views from the castle battlements

Inside the great hall

Boom

Those are awesome! That's so cool that you got to go on a field trip.

Cool pictures Lucien! I take it you're not really a psychonaut?

What I meant of course was: what do you do for a living? You speak about 'one of our sites.' Are you a builder?

UPtimist · 10-23-2011, 12:30 AM

Yes, I was wondering that too

But anyways, I especially loooove (because one "o" just isn't enough) the one with the distant tower on the hill. What is that thing? Looks like a wizard tower

Also, it's got a very professional composition

Lucien can also be a member of the Royal Family of course. But I suspect he isn't because nowhere did I see a small tiger running around during W&K's wedding.

Jelena · 10-23-2011, 01:28 AM

I think he's an accountant.

Lucien
The landscape picture of the tower and the one with the mountains are beautiful.

Yes unfortunately i'm a bean counter for the government department that looks after all the historic monuments and castles in Scotland.

The Tower in the picture is the Wallace Monument (not Mel Gibson, the real one).

tsa · 10-23-2011, 07:26 AM

It looks a bit like something that rhymes with Wallace. Is there some compensation going on?

UPtimist · 10-28-2011, 01:29 PM

Some photos from summer:

(at least I narrowed it down to this

)

Last weekend I was in Cologne with my good friend Maruca. Here are some pictures.

The Dom (ridiculously large):

The Hauptbahnhof:

Gezellig along the Rhine:

And modern architecture:

Lucien21 · 11-01-2011, 11:29 AM

Excellent pictures.

kate me · 11-02-2011, 06:21 AM

I like the first and the forth one.

tsa · 11-02-2011, 08:31 AM

This morning I made a panorama of one of the squares around the Dom.

TimovieMan · 11-02-2011, 11:35 AM

I nearly didn't recognize that square without all the Christmas market stalls. I've only ever been to Cologne around Christmas time...

tsa · 11-02-2011, 02:07 PM

They way they blended old and new in Cologne (and other places in Germany) is very well done in my opinion. But unfortunately after WWII the Germans have of course had ample opportunities to experiment with that.
