50 Cities of the World #5 Glasgow

And now for the 5th installment of the series we travel to Glasgow.

I must say that one of my favourite football teams is Glasgow Rangers. So I have this particular fondness for Glasgow.

As usual for one or two centuries ago (sometimes I forget we are no longer on XX century but in XXI...) the main feature a city could have was a cathedral.

I think, for what google can show me on images search, the left building presented in the card is Glasgow Cathedral. But the right building I cannot picture what it might be...

You see. There is no building to the right.

Perhaps the card is showing a building that is no longer there or it was just a representation of two important buildings that are not side-by-side but are important to represent the city.

Reading the card back information you can see Glasgow is next to London the most populous city in the UK island. Or at least it was back then.

It states the cathedral is a fine Gothic style example and it also mentions the university buildings. Perhaps the right building is one of their universities.

Like this one:

When you get in a not so good Top

Unfortunately  Portugal and more precisely the town where I live and two more towns side to mine are living a hell.

Right now we are in 4th place in all world for Legionella infection.

We have almost 300 people infected and 7 deaths. They say more to become ill and probably die...

Hope we don't enter the Top 3.

This will be a sad Christmas for the community this year...

Stretch

I've been seeing some pics for the golden gloves so here is Todd Zeile doing a stunt like those.

It's also cool to watch, from a different perspective a player trying to come back to the base before getting caught as stilling bases. It counts as a stretch too.

Wait!

Wait! Tom! Don't go pitching so fast or you just get yourself out of the card!

Broken bat

I've seen some broken bats' cards, but at this point!?

It even seems that the bats top is heading to a different direction that the swing.

But at least the ball seems to be going to the right place.

50 Cities of the World #4 Edinburgh

And the forth city of the world is the capital of Scotland, the beautiful Edinbugh.

Never went there but for what I could see so far from UK I think I would choose Scotland to live in.

You see, it's like everyone else has a dog, but there you can say you have a Loch Ness monster!

Edinburgh is quite the historical city, like many of those in the UK islands.

As said in the card back it has great universities and museums and if it was like that a century or two ago, it is the same thing nowadays.

If you want to feel,breath and live 'historical' then I think Edinburgh is quite a good place.



Here's the link to the city wiki page.

I mean the umpire of course...
