Today, I am still one day out of kilter. These are images taken yesterday of my visit to Glasgow City Centre. My aim was to photograph all the statues in George Square, a task which was stymied by a tacky fairground set up in the square. Here are the images which I did obtain.

St. George's Church, Tron viewed from George Street. This church was completed in 1809 to the designs of William Stark. The tower shows Baroque influences at the upper tiers, without resorting too much to the elaborate decoration which usually exemplifies that style.

View from Glasgow Bridge looking east looking towards Victoria Bridge and Albert Bridge.

Alleyway near Central Station. Seems to be straight out of a Dickens novel!
Views of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Lighthouse. The former Glasgow Herald Building is now home to Scotland's award winning Centre for Architecture, Design and the City.

Statue in George Square to James Watt

View of City Chambers in George Square through fairground.


Statue of Robert Burns with that of Sir Walter Scott (very tall plinth) in the background.
