Glorious Glasgow

Last weekend I was in Glasgow and went to the Kelvingrove Museum. A fascinating museum where you can spend hours exploring. These are a few of my highlights.

A statute in honour of Lord Kelvin.

Looking serious

The architecture is very grand.

So much to explore

Porcupines in the natural history department.

Needle sharp spines

Part of a painting by Lowry.

I am interested in how he paints figures

The Dancer by John Lavery. When you see paintings in real life they always look different from when they are reproduced.

So vibrant

The Glasgow Commonwealth Games mascot.

High five

An ancient Egyptian dog.

This could easily be a modern design

A reproduction of a prehistoric woolly mammoth.

The bone structure would have made an amazing sculpture

A tribute to Art Deco. Cut with great precision.

Wonderful

A camellia in bloom in Glasgow! 

Pretty in pink

I love this bagpipe cake.

Piping hot

There is more snow on Cross Fell than Hartside
