A monochrome photograph. Temporary metal fencing is silhouetted against a cloudy sky. Plants and buildings can also be seen through the fencing. A monochrome photograph showing the temporary metal fencing in the previous photograph from another angle. Still silhouetted against a cloudy sky but a high-rise building can be seen under construction, with a tall crane visible. A monochrome photograph giving a closer view of the under-construction building in the previous shot. We are looking at it from the other side of an expressway, across which a footbridge extends.

[Original post on mastodon.scot]
In a wild west town a burly blacksmith throws horseshoe straight through the wooden peg he was aiming at shattering it. A sheriff, a horse and a skinny youth look on with townspeople spectating in the background. The skinny youth complains. "Sheriff! Are ye going to tell that man that his toss is not a toss it's a fling! In the rules page twenty four para seven clause eight "Flings and tosses." subsection one, it says, and I quote "The winning shoe is the one that sits closest to the peg and the peg is where the peg was pegged in with no splinters or breaks." see! They've encountered this before."

A colour photograph showing a view over a wall towards the River Clyde. The wall is mostly in shadow and frames the river and the hills beyond in a more-or-less V-shape. The sky is very cloudy, but there is a bright patch behind which the sun is hidden.
