Prayer from Alfred Lichtenstain before battle.
Send me a slight leg wound
Small injury to the arm
So I may return a hero.
With a story to tell.
I think the German soldier feared the worse and injury was the only way to return home safe.

WWI centenary artwork by Christine Borland
Big huge thanks to Suzanne from Glasgow life for invite.
After the Exhibition at the Art Galleries I wandered through the park. See what I could capture. It was drying up and the sun was peeking it`s head out. Here are some images from my stroll.
Every time I pass the River Kelvin at Partick I would have a look for the Kingfisher. There is a plaque telling you there are some by the river. Finally got a sighting yesterday. Sad to say he would not turn around.
