Charles Rennie MacKintosh, or Charlie in the Chair as he's known to the kids, looking west along Argyle Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow.

Gravestone for Chief Constable Alexander McCall who died in 1888 and is buried in the Glasgow Necropolis.

The Celtic cross style stone is an early work by Charles Rennie MacKintosh, whose father was the Chief Clerk in the City of Glasgow Police Force while McColl was in charge. The stone itself was sculpted by Peter Smith who worked for John Mossman.

A selection of the wonderfully ornate column capitals around the entrances to the tenements on Doune Terrace in the west end of Glasgow.

Now, is it just me, or does that one in the bottom right hand corner bear an uncanny resemblance to a certain Charles Rennie MacKintosh?
