I'm glad I saw this thread because it made me pull out my 90mm Elmarit which doesn't get enough use lately. The top image is from today. The other two are from my files.

Are those the towers you photographed collapsing in one of your unforgettable pictures?

Thanks very much, yes - these were the towers. They were known as the Red Road flats. Highest residential towers in Europe when they were built. They became notorious for a disproportionate amount of crime, and eventually nobody wanted to live there. They dynamited the first slab block in 2012, and the final five came down in 2015.

The Red Road flats were fantastic for pictures. Back in 1992, my girlfriend lived in one of the point block towers, (the one on the far left of this picture) on the 26th floor. The views across the city were incredible. There was a balcony you could sit out on, and track the weather as it moved around. You felt like you were up in the clouds, all you could hear was the wind blowing. You couldn't hear the city below. I had quite a soft spot for those towers.

I got talking recently to a guy who lived in the towers when he was a young man. He said his favourite thing about waking up in a strangers' house on a Saturday morning, when he'd been out clubbing the night before, was that, no matter where he was in the city, he could always see his house somewhere on the horizon, and it was easy to navigate back home.

I've never really got on with a 90mm. I've owned a few 90mm lenses over the years but the only one I've used consistently is the 90 Macro Elmar and that's because, with the adaptor, it can do something that no other M lens can do. And that's get 'close'. The fact it is also very small and compact is a real bonus.

Pure luck on the lighting. I got these garlic scapes to do a setup photo which I previously posted. Rather than throw them out, I thought I'd stick them in a jar with water to see if they'd grow. This morning I was eating breakfast and glanced into the room where I'd placed them on a small table and saw that a shaft of morning sunlight was lighting them.

Shipyard cranes at the old Glasgow Fairfields shipyard, 2014. The cranes are in the process of being scrapped here. They'd slacken the cables to let the jib come down (as on the crane to the far right of the picture) to make it easier to cut them up.

Such a shame

A lot of people were very upset at the scrapping of those giant cranes. They were symbolic of the city's shipbuilding heritage. To give some idea of how tall they were, the fabrication shed on the left of the picture is where the hull sections of the UK's two new aircraft carriers were built. Essentially, from the keel to the top deck - the full height of the hull - fitted comfortably under the roof of that shed.

The yard had neglected the cranes for many years, and bits were beginning to drop off them. Now they just hire in a mobile crane whenever they need one.

In the old bristol city docks they still operate 3 electric cranes and a fairburn steam crane a few times a year as an attraction which is great although they are not as big as the ones in your photo.
