Glasgow Saturday #2

 I took a different route from the bust stop today..not along Sauchiehall Street, but the next one up..it goes out from BuchananStreet where the bus station is....past the College of Music.....and building sites..and buildings of all ages...

and the Glasgow School of Art....to Garnethill..and to Charing Cross...























Then the footbridge over the junction to the more "genteel" area...










and the lovely building of the Alliance Française and Goethe Institute






and the lesson...which went well

I love the mosaic floor in the foyer!

thank you for taking us on your very picturesque walk.

Such a variety of architecture! What drew my eye for a second, longer look was those steps going up between the two buildings. Why that caught my eye i don't know. Quite an interesting walk!

I find your 13th photo fascinating with the old brick building and larger building built over it.

it is beautiful..and they don't use that entrance, thankfully so it stays lovely

A brilliant way to extend the School of Art

I love alleys, " between " spaces, entries, gates...

Tom said...

...thanks for showing me both the old and new Glasgow.

just a little of the biggest city in Scotland.

Susan said...

The city offers lots of interesting architecture, both very old and new. Tile entries always impress me. Essentially, anything in stone I find very attractive. Thank you for the tour.
Good to hear the lesson went well.

That Art School building -- with the older corner incorporated into a newer, much larger structure -- is really interesting.

I love the no entry sign. We get a lot of signs with added Aisley Harriet stickers, no one knows why.

Lots of old and new buildings. I tried to learn French at high school and was horrendously horrible at it.

I've only visited Glasgow centre once - so much to see, so redolent of an age of merchant and ship industry wealrh.
