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.

Yet more beautiful tenement tiles, this time it's back in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.

I spotted these relief sculptures over the entrances to numbers 1 and 3 Elie Street in the Partick area of Glasgow. It's great to see such adornments on relatively new tenement buildings. Modern buildings need more little details like this.

The elegant lines of McConnel's Building on Hope Street in Glasgow.
Designed by John Keppie in an Art Nouveau/Glasgpe Style, it was built in 1906 for the Glasgow City Improvement Trust.

Love this unusually-shaped tenement dome and finial above the Park Bar on Dumbarton Road in Clydebank.

Lone Survivor: It always seems rather sad to come across an orphaned tenement which has been left standing when all its neighbours have been demolished. This one is on Keppochhill Road in Glasgow.

I guess this is one way to extend the space available in your west end tenement flat. Not too sure how they got it past the downstairs neighbours, though.

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.

Former Young Men's Christian Institute, Water Row, Govan.
Designed by William Tennant and built in 1897, I love the simple, but elegant lines of this building.

Former Commercial Bank of Scotland building (on the ground floor, with flats above) on Bridge Street in Glasgow, built in 1884 and probably designed by Bruce and Hay.
This was presumably part of a continuous block of similar buildings, going up the streest to the left and right, which have since been demolished.

Ghost tenement on Tollcross Road in Glasgow.
I remember this being a common sight across Glasgow in the 1970s and 80s when many tenements were being demolished. The resulting orphaned gable ends were usually cleaned up and sealed, and it's unusual to see one left quite so exposed to this day.

Glasgow style tenement block on the corner of Stockwell Street and Bridgegate in Glasgow. Designed by A.B. McDoland and built in 1905.

Scottish tenement night latch keys. These odd-looking keys were used to open the latch on the communal close doors in Scottish tenements between the late 1700s and the early 1900s. Some were still in use as recently as the 1980s.

Tenement rooftop in Hyndland in the west end of Glasgow. I always love seeing a curved bay window, but it's even better when it's topped off with a roof like this!

The fantastic stepped gable end and curved top floor bay window of William Boston's tenements on High Street in Glasgow. They were built in the Scottish Renaissance style for the City Improvement Trust in 1901. I love the details above the window on the left and on the pillars between the windows on the right

This has got to be the weirdest addition I've ever seen to a Glasgow tenement. It seems like there's barely enough floor space to stand in it, but at least they've tried to make it blend in!
