I'd never noticed the Glasgow emblems of the the bird, the fish, the bell and the tree cast into the base of the lamp posts outside Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum before. It's a really nice extra design touch.

I love these details on the bannisters of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.
They're based on the symbols of Glasgow: The bell than never rang, the fish that never swam, and the bird that never flew.
Where's the tree, you may ask. The answer is simple, it never grew!

I love the boat prows that decorate so many of Glasgow's older buildings, but this one is particulalry good.
It's also the only one I've seen containing three of the four symbols of Glasgow (I'm sure there must be a bell in there somewhere as well, but I just can't find it!).
