Part of the forest on the west face of Ben Shieldaig yesterday.
The old pier at Croggan, in the lovely and seldom visited south-east corner of the Isle of Mull. The pier was built to allow livestock to be transported to market in Oban; and until the 1970s was being used to land coal for use on Mull. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot... #Scotland #Mull

Another from this morning. This time the Coire na Ba. The Isle of Skye in the distance. Telegraph (utility) poles for scale.
Love this stained glass on 63 Bath Street in Glasgow. One of the best things about life in this city is coming across such random bits of beauty as you travel around it. You just have to keep you eyes open so you see it as you pass. #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #stainedglass

The wonderfully over-the-top entrance to Albert Chambers on Bath Street in Glasgow. Designed by Bruce and Hay, it was built in 1901. Amongst all the other things, I love how the rather weighty pediment at the top is shaped almost like a pair of wings. #glasgow #architecture #doorway #sculpture
