Heading for the Uni

Yesterday's Blip was 'School's Out'. Today's is five students heading to their classes at the University of Strathclyde. Obviously I've done a fair amount of colour manipulation - more than normal - but I thought the shapes of the utilitarian structures - fence, paving and building - lent themselves to this treatment.

Incidentally, for Glaswegians who remember the days when people used to go to an office to pay their telephone bill, the building pictured was formerly the GPO office complex for telecommunications called Marland House - a ugly concrete structure taken over by the University in 1987, although now extensively refurbished around its entrance and inside to accommodate university life. A carmine filter, in the first instance, in my iPhone App Revel, changed red to orange - most prominently in two of the students' backpacks, and put coloured highlights into the wet paving.

The young men had been sitting in the same section of the train as me, and as they headed out of the station I realised they were students going to their classes. This seems to follow nicely from yesterday's theme of conserving existing buildings and institutions of learning!
