I love this decorative Art Nouveau metal plaque of Neptune in a doorway of the Miller and Lang building on Darnley Street in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.
Throwback to 2020. I spent a lot of time chasing down the locations I felt showed iconic scenes and infrastructure in the area. Moving from a smaller city to this one nearly every building and bridge felt gargantuan and worthy of an image.
The remnants of Pollokshields-Glencairn Church on Shields Road. Designed by W.G. Rowan and built in 1891, it was destroyed by a fire in 1988. This fragment, with its impressively sculptured arch, was salvaged and re-built in a reduced form in the grounds of a modern housing development built in its place. Almost hidden by trees, few passing on Sheilds Road will notice it.
Three of Glasgow's most distinctive gushet buildings: The Glasgow Savings Bank building on New City Road (left), the Saint Andrew's Cross building at Eglinton Toll (middle) and Crossmyloof Mansions at Shawlands Cross (right).
Yesterday, we went on a day trip to #Oxford by #train. No other means of powered transport was used as we #cycled to and from our local #RailwayStation.
Here is the #countryside zooming past the train window.
