A digitally modified abstract painting in portrait orientation. An oval shape sits on a background of radiating lines of various shades of grey and red. The oval is mostly black with a red tapering rim around its bottom half. Much of the black area of the oval is occupied by a green shape resembling a crescent moon. The ‘moon’ has a slight bulge in the middle of its concave side.

BBC film crew with Len Pennie in front of the camera
BBC Scotland were in the SPL today filming poet Len Pennie in conversation with film-maker Ashley Dick. The chat was great. Well worth keeping an eye out for the prog when it's aired. #Scotslanguage

A monochrome photograph that has been modified to give it a yellow background. The top stories of a modern high-rise building can be seen beyond a motorway bridge. The bridge, and the buildings and trees around it, are more or less silhouetted against the yellow sky, as are a lamppost on the bridge and a wire extending across the sky in front of the high-rise building and the lamppost.
Abuin the brig.

A monochrome photograph. We are looking up a city street. Facing us is a single-deck bus, while on the opposite side of the street is a line of cars. Beyond the traffic is a modern hotel and beyond *that* is the Finnieston, or Stobcross, Cran(e) – a giant cantilever crane constructed in the earlier twentieth century.

A monochrome photograph two showing barriers. Over the top of these, in the background, can be seen a crane and the upper stories of buildings while in the foreground young people – dressed for summer – are drinking and socialising upstairs on a temporary ‘Innis & Gunn’ structure. On one of the barriers are the words ‘Enjoying a street show?’.

A colour photograph. We are looking down on a city street. On the nearer of two pavements a man is about to pass out of sight behind a building. Behind him a woman walks beside a small boy whose hand she is holding. They appear to be a family. Cars are parked on the other side of the street.

A monochrome photograph in which the sky has been replaced with a grey-green block of colour. We are looking up at the Dugald Stewart Monument on Calton Hill, Edinburgh. According to Wikipedia, the monument is ‘a circular temple of nine fluted Corinthian columns around an elevated urn, on a circular podium’. To the left of the monument is an old building. The hillside below the monument is thick with vegetation.
