Lovely night shots. Merry Christmas, Bob, and the happiest of New years to you.

Two former working class sea ports with shipyards and large factories so it might be that as they are less reserved and more open to talking although that is changing now world wide with smartphones and tablets capturing people's attention on public transport instead of one to one conversations. blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-68398431803484110522016-12-20T16:59:56.611+00:002016-12-20T16:59:56.611+00:00Cheers Ian,

They definitely had more lights up then in the smaller shopping streets but they are mainly pound shops, coffee or food outlets now instead of retail. Renfield Street and Sauchiehall Street had rows of overhead lights running from top to bottom then. Mostly concentrated around George Square now which wasn't such a focal point at that time. Interesting to see how it's changed over the years.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-45317549504319343842016-12-19T23:14:41.884+00:002016-12-19T23:14:41.884+00:00Lovely lights in Glasgow.
