The Falkirk of the South

OK, it doesn't have a wheel but Venice is an impressive place.

Click here for the rest of this batch of Venice photos. Many more from the Eastern Mediterranean will be appearing over the next few days.

Falkirk High- 
now I usually used Grahamston- Falkirk High was where I went to school (in the days before the Labour Party made it comprehensive.) 
 
On thinking of it, Grangemouth could be twinned with Seveso.

but I bet Venice doesn't have a half hourly service to Glasgow or Edinburgh 
 
Long exile Struan? 
 
It's quarter hourly now and that's just from Falkirk High! 
 
(But sadly no direct service from Falkirk to Bologna...)

Now I know that there are parts of Venice that would rival Bainsford or Camelon but the view from the Union Canal over the Ochils........... 
 
Great photos but I bet Venice doesn't have a half hourly service to Glasgow or Edinburgh (lucky Old Venice I hear you say) 
 
Mind you Venice wasn't stupid enought to elect one SNP and one Labour member of Thursday

Hi. I just came over from James's site and I love these atmospheric photos, especially the gondolier.

Richard, 
 
Did you notice the rather naughty Italian boxer shorts behind the gondolier? 
 
And is that "Marzia" with the baby? 
 
(Click on any of the photos - or the link - to get into Flickr. Then you can click on "all sizes" to get a full screen version of each shot.)
