The sun is out and Glasgow is looking its usual spectacular self just in time for the UCI World Championships road races to start this weekend. Hopefully the wonderful buildings they'll be cycling past won't prove too distracting for those taking part!

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.

The many towers and turrets of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the west end of Glasgow against this evening's clear blue sky, along with one interloper from the nearby university.

Science by William Burnie Rhind. Created in 1898 as one of eight allegorical figures to adorn the roof of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the west end of Glasgow.

The other seven sculptures are: Music, Architecture, Sculpture, Painting (all by Francis Derwent Wood), Religion (by Johan Keller) Literature (by Edward George Bramwell) and Commerce (by Aristide Fabbricci).

Three towers on J W Simpson and Milner Allen's spectacular Free Classical Style Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the west end of Glasgow. I love the way all the towers are similar, but different, and that chimney sneaking up the right hand side of the one in the foreground is really well disguised.

I'd never noticed the Glasgow emblems of the the bird, the fish, the bell and the tree cast into the base of the lamp posts outside Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum before. It's a really nice extra design touch.
