At first I was intrigued by the quite random placement of the black bricks. Then the more I looked at it, the more fascinated I became by how the vertical lines appear to be absolutely straight, despite being on a curved surface.

Straight AND Curved

I always love it when I get the chance to check out these rather gorgeous tenement tiles on Victoria Road on Glasgow.

الْـخـامِـسُ عَـشَـرْ مِـنْ رَمَـضـان (the 15th of Ramadan). Another infrared panorama, and this time from the yard. Unfortunately, no clouds back then. In this panorama particularly, I've tried to tackle the issue with the nadir point (the point under the tripod when shooting). Usually, I just neglect this point and stitch the panorama without considering it, as the effort to mend it is not worth it overall. This time, however, I've tried to apply some techniques to fix it and I'd say I've partially done it right. I guess?
The panorama was shot early morning (as you can see it is hitting only the top of the house as it was not high up in the sky), but even so, there is a presence of infrared as can be seen from the white foliage.

Southpark House in Glasgow. Built around 1850, this was the last of the large villas constructed in the Hillhead area of the city before development increased with the building of terraced townhouse and tenements. It's unusual in that it's a double villa which was built for William Govan Senior and William Govan Junior, the father-and-son team behind the muslin manufacturers William Govan and Son. This building is now part of Glasgow University.
