Fonn Mor (Oran Mor's cocktail bar) on Great Western Road in the West End of Glasgow.
This is a ScotRail train crossing Great Western Road at Anniesland station. The blue of the train, pink of the cherry trees and yellow of the late daffodils caught my eye
I usually don't post-process my photographs but I had this effect in mind when I took the shot, so it is an integral part of it. (I obtained the effect by dialing up the exposure and the saturation in darktable.)
Grand monuments in the Necropolis, Glasgow's first major Victorian cemetery. Opened in the 1840s, it marked a shift in burial practices in the growing city from people being interred in small burial grounds surrounding local churches to the use of large centralised cemeteries.

Looking east along St Andrews Street in Glasgow at the end of a sunny Spring day. The building in the distance is the 18th Century St Andrew's in the Square, designed by Alan Dreghorm and modelled on the earlier St Martin-in-the-Fields in London.
Thought this puddle resembled a wee bear. You’ve heard of a silver lining, this one has a cherry blossom lining!
Continuing the theme of weird stuff that's been appearing around Glasgow lately, I spotted this sign on the morning dog walk at the humpback bridge on the Kelvin Walkway. It seems even Luke Skywalker and Han Solo need signposts to find their way around a galaxy far, far away!
I love this panel in one of the playparks in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow. I'm not too sure if it's purely decorative or if it's an ornate manhole cover. As far as I can work out, it's a scene from Don Quixote, but that's just my best guess.
The grand processional leading from the medieval Cathedral across the Bridge of Sighs, which carries it over the Molendinar Ravine, to the Necropolis, Glasgow's Victorian city of the dead. It was designed by David and James Hamilton, and was built in the 1830s.
This is part of a rather cool street art installation of star constellations set into the pavements around the Broomielaw in Glasgow, and I had to go and ruin it with this rather poor visual pun!
When this building was demolished in the 1890s, a number of fragments were salvaged and used to construct a new stand-alone sturcture on Monteith Row to the north of Glasgow Green. It was then moved to Greendyke Street in 1922 before being moved again to its current location just off Saltmaket in1991. It''s named after Bailie James McLennan to was responsible for saving the parts of the Assembly Rooms uses to create it and who presented it to the citizens of the city in 1893.
Looking through the McLennan Arch on Glasgow Green to the 2014 Commonwealth Games sculpture, and, further off, the 1806 Nelson Monument. The arch hasn't always been at this local, and in fact, it hasn't even always been an arch. It started life as part of the facade to the Assembly Rooms on Ingram Street, which was designed by Robert and James Adam and was built in 1792.

A dinosaur mural hidden away on the side of the Chemistry building of Glasgow University where it faces the Zoology building across a narrow, dead-end lane. I've often wondered if the Chernistry Department even knows it's there!
By the way, before anyone points it out, I know the one with the sail on its back isn't really a dinosaur, but another type of ancient giant reptile!
Alexandra Parade Public School building (now home to Alexandra Parade Primary School) as seen from Armadale Street in the East End of Glasgow. Designed by MacWhannel and Rogerson, it was built in the 1890s.

Just when I think Glasgow can't get any weirder, I come across this notice pasted on a wall in the East End for a lost crocodile who's run off with someone's best high heeled shoes. If you see him, please let the owner know!
