(Above image is of competitor approaching finish.) Today, Christmas Day has proved cold and overcast in Glasgow, Scotland with temperature just a tad above freezing. This morning, I cycled round to Pollok Park, primarily to photograph a Christmas themed parkrun but with secondary objective of photographing the small herds of Highland Cows which can be found there. Objectives were met, albeit at cost of suffering from the cold, damp weather. However, have now warmed up again. Assembled runners totalled about 500.
