This afternoon's UCI Women's Road Race passing through Kelvingrove Park in the west end of Glasgow.

The Kelvingrove Pipe Organ. Originally commissioned for the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition, it was later moved to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. It has 2889 organ pipes, but the ones you can see are just part of a decorative facade. The actual sound-producing pipes are hidden behind it.

Looking east along Dumbarton Road from Partick Cross in Glasgow this evening as the sun was going down.

Our final plaque tells the sad tale of the last lowland haggis, which was killed in the grounds of what is now Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the west end of Glasgow in 1842.

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!

The Argyle Street Ash Tree, Finnieston, Glasgow.

This tree was accidently planted in 1850. This means it has been a feature of the west end of Glasgow for longer than the Kelvin Hall (1927), the Kelvingrove Art Gallery (1901), Glagsow University (which moved to its current location in 1870), and even Kelvingrove Park (1852).

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!

The Owl on the Staircase, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.

I love this little owl which stands guard on the handrails of one of the staircases. It always reminds me of the work of Francois Pompon, one of my favourite sculptors.

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!).

Fantastic to see pure blue skies over the west end of Glasgow today - it adds to the growing feeling that Winter is almost past once more and Spring is no longer that far away!

After Kelvingrove Art Gallety and Museum, the Huntarian is my second favourite of Glasgow's museums, not just because of the many interesting exhibits it has on display, but also because of the many hours I spent there as an undergraduate (which, I realised today, is now a ridiculously long time ago!).

Looking along of one of the galleries of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.

At one point, the muesum's most famous painting, Dali's Christ of St John on the Cross, was situated at the end of one such gallery. This made for a dramatic sight as you turned a corner and saw, it lit from above, off in the distance, framed by the series of stone arches.

The central hall of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.

Like many Glaswegians, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery has been my home away from home on many a wet and otherwise miserable winter's day, both as a child and as a grown-up.
