New and old in Dundee

It would be pleasing if this curious skyline represented harmonious inter-faith relations. Sadly, while the two churches are indeed fine old Christian places of worship, in the UK these 'Mecca' buildings are a widespread chain of bingo halls, i.e., mild gambling dens, and therefore represent worship of a far less satisfactory sort.

Apologies for the spurious foreground intrusions, which could be cloned out if desired.

Here is a yet more bizarre juxtaposition which presented itself as I strolled through the town centre, hoping unsuccessfully to ascend the square tower in the first shot, which is sometimes open to the public.

While these are appropriate for this forum they also qualify for the Funny Photos forum. |:-)

Alan,

doesn't seem to be a suitable location for advanced, adventurous city "in between buildings flying"

Aaah, very funny. "Mild gambling dens" Worship of Mammon. Mecca.

The inter-faith relation: islam doesn't allow certain kinds of handling of money, for example interest rate whereas there are cultures with a keen interest in what comes out from the lower regions

Freud ....

No. I'll stop with that. Very entertaining pictures, Alan
