Good morning, Glasgow. It's another fabulous morning in the city by the Clyde.

It's certainly very similar in style and detail to Grassby's known Father Clyde on the nearby 30 Saint Vincent Place.

I love this 1860s keystone head by Charles Grassby over the entrance to the former Junior Conservative Club on West George Street in Glasgow.
I can't find any record of what it represents, but the fish on his head and the anchor entwined in his beard suggest it could be Father Clyde, the mythological embodiment of the river on which Glasgow's fortune was built.

The Erskine Bridge across the Clyde as seen from Boden Boo Beach at today's low tide.
I always love it when the tide is right to do the morning dog walk along here.

Father Clyde on the Clydebank Building on Saint Vincent Place in Glasgow. I love the fish poking out of his beard, and the pair in his hair holding up a ring. These were details I only noticed when looking back at the photograph.
Such representations of the Clyde and other rivers seem to be relatively common on keystones of Glasgow buildings.

Prior to this, ships could only get as far as Port Glasgow before having to be unloaded with their cargo finishing their journey by horse and cart.

The Clyde at Dumbarton Rock, with channel markers showing the position of The Lang Dyke, (lower right to middle left).
Constructed in 1773, The lang Dyke aimed to constrain and speed up the flow of water, and so help deepen the channel by scouring.

A tale of two cities: Two shots from the Bell's Bridge in Glasgow both taken at 9:34 this morning, one looking upstream towards the city and one looking downstream towards the Science Centre and Riverside Museum.

Dusk at Glasgow Harbour. This is one I took a few days ago, with the almost full moon rising over the Clyde.

The Barclay Curle Titan: Glasgow's other crane.
Built in 1920 by Sir William Arrol and Co for the Barclay Curle Shipyard in Whiteinch, this is an A-listed structure, but it seems little is being done to preserve it.

Emblem of the Glasgw Humane Society on its headquarters on Glasgow Green.
Founded in 1790, Glasgow Humane Society aims to preserve human life in and around the waterways of Greater Glasgow.
Amongst other things, these are the people who retrieve and replace life belts along the Clyde when idiots needlessly throw these important pieces of life-saving equipment into the water.

A late afternoon view across the Clyde to Finnieston and the Scottish Events Campus.
It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a view which I never tire of as you can see so many of the different layers of the city all at once.

The Hydro, the crane and the armadillo: It may not contain much in the way of traditional architecture, but I love this view none-the-les, especially as the weather makes it different every time I pass by.
