Sunset at Glasgow's Riverside Museum. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it was first opened in 2011. The reflections in the window shows the buildings of the Clyde Waterfront further up the river.
A recent post on Twitter by Govanhill Go! reminded me of the concept of desire lines. These are unofficial paths, like the one on the right in this photo, worn into the landscape by people who would rather use them than the official routes (like the one on the left). They're generally short-cuts and often indicate a failure by urban planners to properly understand and account for people's desires as they move through their environment.
Somewhat ironically, the example in this photo comes from outside the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, home to the city's quite brilliant transport collection.
An original poster for the Glasgow District Subway displayed in the city's Riverside Museum. This is the third oldest underground system in the world and the only one which has never been extended since it was first built. Opened in 1896, it was also unique as it was powered by a continuous cable running through the tunnels which the carriages gripped on to, meaning there was no soot or smoke from steam engines in the tunnels themselves.
It consists of an inner and an outer loop, each of which took half an hour to complete in 1896. With modern electric trains, it now takes 24 minutes, showing how advanced and efficient the original system was.
The Glasgow Transport Museum's Infinite Velodrome. This is a metal Möbius Strip hanging from the ceiling of Zaha Hadid's magnificent Riverside Museum building displaying all sorts of bicycles from different eras of cycling.
The Riverside Museum is a spectacular landmark on the River Clyde in Glasgow. Home to the Museum of Transport and Travel, the building itself, which opened in 2011, is every bit as fascinating as the exhibits it houses.
