I actually enjoy a Full Scottish as it includes three kinds of sausage! Lorne, a flat beef sausage (colloquially called 'square sausage'), links (normal sausage) and Scottish black pudding which is much nicer than the English variety to me, it's slightly spicier with less fat and more oatmeal.
It's been a LONG time since I enjoyed a full breakfast of any kind and it will be a LONG time until anyone can enjoy George Square in Glasgow, the scene of this photograph today. George Square will be behind hoardings for at least 18 months as it undergoes a major revamp.
As Glasgow's most loved and best known public space, it will be sorely missed during that time. It has been a key location for meetings, protests, major sporting events and is home to the cenotaph too. The vision for the 'new' George Square includes more greenery and trees, some covered seating, a play area, a water feature and stone flooring instead of asphalt.
The hoardings will be decorated with images of Glasgow's past, present and future vision.
I hope that you all have an awesome week ahead my Flickr friends. Enjoy.

I attempted to capture a candid shot of Daniel but he posed for the shot as I went to take it and laughed afterwards, I showed him the shot and asked if he wanted a proper portrait to go away with and he was happy to oblige. We relocated to this doorway just a short distance away and I tried to ask Daniel to remove his cap as the shadow over his eyes was too strong but he wouldn't take it off. The best I could manage was him raising his cap and chin enough for this shot. I was also trying to get him to look away from the sunlight, to avoid any squinting, yet still keeping the strong light on his face, as you can see from the shadow. That didn't really work either as Daniel decided where to look for the shot.
My inability to coach the pose aside, I still love the resulting shot and the attitude is portrays. Daniel, originally from Africa and a Muslim, now lives and works in Glasgow and has converted to Christianity. He was on his way to work in a bar in town. I have sent the shot over and hope that he likes the shot. I love the attitude in this despite the harsh light. Enjoy!
