The rather elegant logo of the Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Company on a manhole cover in Broomhill in Glasgow. This means it was installed between 1911 and 1932, making it around 100 years old. I guess sometimes it pays to look down as well as up in Glasgow!

Two cherubs with a printing press reading a book, flanked by a pair of owls. Just an everyday sight in Glasgow if you remember to look up!

I've been going to Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow since I was a kid, but I only noticed these wonderfully ornate cast iron vent covers for the first time the other day.

It just goes to show that Glasgow always has something new to offer, no matter how well you think you know it!

Designed by Robert Thomson in the free classical style, it was completed in 1907. It features some amazing sculptures, including a row of snarling lion's heads between the first and second floors, and some cherubs operating a printing press (as it was originally designed as a newspaper office).

It also features some very cute art nouveau style owls, but more on them later.

67 Hope Street, Glasgow.

Sandwiched between two larger modern buildings and opposite Central Station, this little gem on Hope Street is easily overlook. You need to stand across the street and look up at it to really appreciate it properly.

I pass the Sandyford Henderson Memorial Church in the west end of Glasgow several times a day. This afternoon was the first time I'd ever noticed this bat in its stonework!

It just goes to show that no matter how famiiar you are with Glasgow and its buildings, there's always new things to discover.

The dome of the Merchants House, George Square, Glasgow.

Glasgow has many domes, but this is probably my favourite because of the globe and sailing ship perched on it top.

I often wonder how many people pass this building each day wihout ever noticing the ornate ornamentation far above them.
