Panopticon

This is a picture of the Panopticon theatre in Glasgow, possibly the oldest surviving music hall in the world.

I really just took the shot to celebrate the fact that after what seems like ages the scaffolding has come down. The picture was a bit dull so I have used a painting filter to liven it up a bit.

Apparently there was a big problem while the scaffolding was present as all the sneak thieves in Glasgow (I believe there are one or two!) could use it to get into the auditorium to see if there was anything worth stealing.

One such person thought he would avoid being found by the police by posing as a statue beside the other statues of Victorian clad mannequins which are at various locations around the theatre. However the track suit and trainers proved to be a bit of a giveaway!
