CBD TARDIS

CBD TARDIS
Sauchiehall Street, Glagow

The TARDIS; acronym for "Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space") is a fictional hybrid of a time machine and spacecraft that appears in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who and its various spin-offs. While a TARDIS is capable of disguising itself, the exterior appearance of the Doctor's TARDIS typically mimics a police box, an obsolete type of telephone kiosk that was once commonly seen on streets in Britain in the 1940s and 50s. Its interior is shown as being much larger than its exterior, commonly described as being "bigger on the inside".

An interesting and well composed street scene, Joe.
I first thought the red catching building was a telephone kiosk, then I read your notes.
i like the colours, the reflections and the perspective.
Enjoy your evening.

I can remember the old Police Boxes, Adele. There was one not far from where I lived. There was also Police telephones in a pillar with a light on top. When the light was flashing, it was a sign for the beat constable to phone HQ. Have a lovely evening. All the best, Joe

I love this 'Tardis' Joe. I go right back to William Hartnell as the first Doctor Who. My youngest daughter is almost 50 and was telling me she wants a tardis tattoo for her birthday!

Interestingly I guess it is a sign of our times that the tardis needs explanation but CBD doesn't!! I have to admit I had to look it up!

An excellent street scene and I must admit to being surprised at the number of bicycles on the streets. Here they keep adding cycle lanes but hardly anyone seems to use them

Have a good weekend

I remember the first episode of Dr Who, Carol. It caused such a stooshie, it was repeated the following week in a double header with episode two.

There are lots of bikes in the pedestrian precincts of Glasgow City Centre. They make great photos.

I hope you have a great weekend.

All the best,

Joe

They was a CBD in Dumbarton High Street, where I gave this produce a try. No, I didn't get high in the High Street, despite washing the CBD down with the free cup of CBD they gave me. I hope you have an excellent weekend, Amelia. Kindest regards, Joe

The tardis is such a great invention. What a delightful show where every day people stand up for what's right and show that they can make a difference. Yes, I know the show is essentially about the doctor, but I always saw it as a great examination of humans in a fun format - especially the Tardis!!

Your street scenes are wonderful to peruse. Seems like not many people take that sort of photo anymore, but often when I view really old photos it's the ones of street scenes that peak my interest.
