the O centre
One of the southern access points to the Almondvale Centre - greatly expanded from its humble origins of about 30 years ago, when it was Woolworths and a few shops - the Woolworths has gone, to be replaced by an ASDA.WAL*MART supercentre.

Almondvale Shopping Centre
The back premises of the shopping centre can best be described as functional. A thing of beauty they are not.

Sculpture in Livingston - 'The Community'
Although most famous for its weird roundabout art, Livingston also has a number of more accessible publicly commissioned sculptures dotted about.
This is one of the better ones, although aspects of it are slightly baffling after reading the artist's summary of his work. It is said to depict a family of four holding hands, and they are balancing in the main on a branched tree stump by the looks of it. It is meant to give the impression of a "celebratory dance". Nobody could actually move anywhere in this dance though, as both children are standing on their mother's leg, which actually looks as if it could be quite sore considering the size of the children. The dad seems to have got it easy - maybe there's some hidden symbolism going on there! If it is the dad that is; both males seem to be about the same size.
It's pretty well done, nonetheless, and was made by Charles Anderson in 1996. It must have been a tricky one to do as he states he returned to painting after making this.
