Little corners

No tour today. Even job hunters need a weekend :) . However thought would post up some of the other miscellaneous photos from yesterday. One of the things I love about cities is the little corners of buildings you find as you walk about. Maybe just a window surround, a ledge or a turret. Glasgow is especially good for the beautiful sculptures on it's buildings. Just walk about Glasgow and look up at the buildings and you will see such amazing hand crafted detail.

But Glasgow is a dynamic city, changing all the time, and so has also got, and still growing, some amazing new buildings.

Anyway over time will post up more "little corners" but here are just some of the ones that caught my eye yesterday.



Clydesdale Bank building. Sun not been shining much on the banks recently but yesterday things looked a lot brighter.


Corner of Atlantic Chambers at end of Cadogan Street peeking through into Hope Street. I love the ivy growing up the side of this building contrasting with the red sandstone.




New and old buildings in Wellington Street.


Corner of building on corner of Union Street and Gordon Street opposite Central station

The arch leading through from Royal Bank place to Royal Exchange Square.



Building on corner of Gordon Street and Hope Street opposite Central Station with little bit of Central Station canopy in foreground.
