I posted part of this amazing bit of Art Nouveau tiling a few days ago, but here's the whole thing. It's not a great photo as it's hidden in a cupboard, but it's quite beautiful. It's from a restaurant in the Broomhill area of Glasgow.

I don't know who's responsible for planting these sunflowers outside Olivia's on Crow Road in Broomhill, but whoever you are, thank you - they're a wonderful addition to the street and always help put a smile on my face.

If you've ever wondered what the retail spaces on the ground floors of many Glasgow tenements would have originally looked like, there's a short run of shops, im Broomhill, starting at 308 Crow Road, which all seem to have retained most of their original frontages.

Corner bay windows of a red sandstone Glasgow tenement against a blue sky. I just love those curves.

There was a time in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s when architects of new buildings in Glasgow went to a lot more effort to match existing architectural styles rather than just throwing up massive, soulless boxes which drown existing buildings and the feel of Glasgow with their blandness. Why can we not still do this in the 2020s?

The former Balshagray Public School in Broomhill, Glasgow. Designed in a Roman-Renaissance Style by Bruce and Hay in 1904, this imposing C listed building was turned into flats in 2017. However, it seems to have retained much of its original grandeur.

I love it when I come across flowers growing in places in Glasgow where they don't really have a right to be growing.

Decorative ironwork on a rooftop in Broomhill in Glasgow. Is it just me or is there a hint of triffids about it?

I love a bay window on a tenement, but the lines of these oriel ones on Marlborough Avenue in Broomhill, Glasgow are exquisite, as is the original stained glass.

Good morning Glasgow. If you haven't looked out your window yet, there's a slight dusting of snow out there, but it's still a beautiful morning.

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!

Good morning, Glasgow. This was the sunrise that greeted me when I stepped out my front door this morning. It only lasted about five minutes, but for that brief time it was spectacular!

Despite being Scotland's largest city, the first few months of the year in Glasgow still are marked by the appearance of different spring flowers. In January, it's snowdrops, in March it's daffodils, but in February my favourites appear: crocuses.

Good morning, Glasgow. Another great sunrise this morning. For those who missed it, this is what it looked like over Broomhill in the west end.
There was also a great moonset, but getting a good photo of that was beyond the capabilities of my camera.

Dunnock singing in early morning sunshine today on the Broomhill allotments in the west end of Glasgow. There's definitely a feeling in the air that Spring is not that far away!

This morning's blue skies over Gartnavel Royal Hospital in Glasgow.
Opened in 1843 and designed by the architect Charles Wilson, Gartnavel Royal Lunatic Asylum (as it was then known) sits on a hill above the west end of Glasgow and casts an imposing presence across this part of the city to this day.
