I once had an exhibition in Sandwich and this fish would have been fundamentally appropriate

Detail from one of a pair of flying fish I made for a client in Canada. Guess the eye!

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this wonderful little dragon nestled amongst the foliage around the entrance of what was originally the Anderston Free Chuch, but is now the Gillmorehill Centre of Glasgow University.

Charming by Shona Kinloch. Created in 1996 as part of the East Kilbride Village Project, this lovable dog should be one of a pair, but at some point he seems to have lost his companion, leaving him looking rather lonesome.

Hidden amongst the foliage growing out of the still-standing (and B-Listed) entrance to the former Rockvilla Public School on Possil Road in Glasgow is this beautiful little animal sculpture. It's one of a pair surrounding the inscription of the school's name, and I think it's most likely a dragon which has, at some point, lost its wings.

A rather grumpy looking dragon with one head and two bodies above the University Avenue entrance to the main buildings of Glasgow University.
Over the years, I've spent a lot of time in and around the university, but I only noticed brilliant little sculpture for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

The dragon on the side of the A-Listed Govan Old Parish Church seems to have suffered quite badly in recent years. The pipe through its back seems new (alhough there was evidence of previous damage here), along with the metal flashing on the top. There's also a rather unsympathetic repair to the face and (in my opinion) a poor choice of replacement downpipe.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this apparently cross-eyed fishy beauty on 103 Hutcheson Street. Dating from around 1860, this is one of a series of similar sculptures above the second storey windows

I don't know why, but despite being built in 1869, there appears to be a sculpture of Santa's Little Helper from the Simpsons on The Buttery on Argyle Street in Glasgow!

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this one from the university's Memorial Chapel, which I presume is a bat, but might not be. Either way, it's pretty cute.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is another one from the Glaagow University Memorial Chapel. It's this very cute, and sleepy-looking, owl nestled in the foliage on a column capital.

The University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel was completed in 1929 and is dedicated to the memory of thoae who died in World War One. Its corbels are inhabited by all kinds of animals. These are just a sample of them.

Today's morning dog walk along the Kelvin Walkway in Glasgow found the penguins in the wall by the old flint mill making the most of the unseasonably cold weather. I suppose being penguins, they probably quite like it!

Today's animal from Glasgow's aechitecture is this wonderful hive of bees on a gable ends of the Logan and Johnston's School of Domestic Economy on James Street.
The bees were meant to symbolise the industrius work of the poor or destitute children it was built to educate and train.

Yet another great animal from Glasgow's architecture. This one is an imperial-looking (and rather apt) phoenix from the facade of A B McDonald's 1917 Southern Fire Station on Wallace Street.
