Another take on the Heilanman's Umbrella. This time from across the road, taking in Hope Street and Oswald street right to left and Argyle street front to back (perspective)

The Heilanman's umbrella Central Station Glasgow.
I am not too old, but I remember the choking fumes under there before the big blowers were installed and the cars going through curtailed, changed days 😀

It is great to see this water tower in Cranhill getting the attention it deserves, it is a classic example of fine brutalist architecture with a set purpose.
Paul Sweeney MSP Has submitted an application to Historic Environment Scotland who now have it open for comments with a proposal for Cat B listing like the protection given to the Provan Gas Works & Govanhill Baths along with many more historically significant buildings in Glasgow.

This image was taken on one of my large format cameras (old and uses big sheets of film)

I was out in Glasgow the other week testing a lens / film / camera combination.
And as ever I end up stoating past the duke.

I think this was the day before the old firm game as he had a red white and blue cone on, with his normal cone placed beside him

He has had all sorts of shapes colours and types of cones on his head.
This does seem to be one thing that brings all glaswegians together, the love of the cone and the desire to get one the colour you want on him.

Have a great weekend
John

Hutchesons’ "Hospital" Hall
Right in the Merchant city.
It is good to see it being used again. It lay very unused for way too long
