Today's animal in Glasgow's architecture is this cute little thing poking it's face out from some foliage on Glasgow University's Memorial Chapel.
I know I've posted a picture of this before, but it's good enough to be worth posting again.

Today's animals from Glasgow's architecture as these pair of beautifully carved dolphinfish from 1897 on 42 Jamaica Street in Glasgow City Centre. Sadly, one of them is somewhat worse for wear.

A mini pilaster dividing two close doorways on Park Road in the Woodlands area of Glasgow. There's no need for it whatsoever but it's little details like this that really make a building.

The Mathematician, 1874.
Situated on the former Buchanan Institute for Destitute Children on Greenhead Street in Bridgeton, Glasgow.
The sculptor, William Brodie, was also responsible for one of Scotland's most famous statues, that of GreyFriars Bobby on the George IV Bridge in Edinburgh.

The Green Man on a building on Lancaster Terrace in Glasgow.
Representing spring and rebirth, the Green Man appears on a surprisingly large number of buildings in Glasgow, but this foliate version is the best representation of him I've so far found in the city.

Modern stained glass window in Sherbrooke Mosshead Parish Church. The original Victorian stained glass was destroyed in a fire in 1994. This beautiful replacement was designed and made by Susan Bradbury, of the Stained Glass Design Partnership of Kilmaurs.

Art Nouveau stained glass fannlight above the entrance to an early 1900s terraced town house on Lorraine Road in the west end of Glasgow. This part of the Kensington Gate group designed by David Barclay.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this stylised pelican on its nest and feeding its young on the side of Glasgow University's Memorial Chapel. It was sculpted by Aerchibald Dawson in the 1920s.

One of the many tenement turrets in Glasgow. This one is on Dumbarton Road in Glasgow. These turrets are one of the architectural features that give Glasgow its very distinctive look.

Some of the sculptures on Glasgow buildings are relatively self-explanatory. Others, like this one on the former Sothern Fire Station which appears to be of a half-naked bearded man wrestling an alligator, just leave you wondering what on Earth's going on!

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this amazingly detailed (and cute) fish from beside the door of the old dispensary building of the Western Infirmary.
If you look very closely, you can even see the teeth inside of its mouth.

One of a pair of rather magnificent lion heads guarding the entrance to the former Glasgow Liberal Club on Nelson Mandela Place in Glasgow.

Here's today's animal from Glasgow's architecture. It's another rather fantastic owl, this time in the capital of a column of the Tennent Memorial Building of the old Western Infirmary.
I particularly like the fact that it's clearly eyeing up the mouse in the bottom left hand corner. I never even noticed this until I got home and examined the photograph!

Another animal in Glasgow's architecture, this time it's a seahorse being ridden by a sea nymph which is above the door of 200 St Vincent Street. I absolutely love this and all the other sculptures on the front of this building.

Window details on the old Templeton Carpet Factory, Glasgow Green, Glasgow.
How can you not love a building that has windows like this?

Sometimes great bits of architecture survive because of what we do to them, and sometimes they survive despite it.

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!

My ever-growing obsession with animals in Glasgow's architecture continues with this absolutely fantastic owl above a window at 282 High Street.
