Today's work, a couple of miles up the dale. There's 6 or 7 of these gaps to sort in this wall around a hay meadow, I've done 4 now.

I got on quite quickly today and I'm glad to be out of the wind, which is gusting about 40mph from the west.

Love this ornate and unique column capital on Doune Gardens in the West End of Glasgow, featuring a rather cute little owl.

A bit geeky, I know, but I love this old stone wall in the Yorkhill area of Glasgow. I've got no idea of its age, but it leads down to the former Bishop's Mill, on the banks of the River Kelvin, which was built in 1839.

Takamatsu II

The pouring process was done in two stages. The top section has been poured with a mixture of cement and crushed mussel shells, the rest of the body has been poured with coarse sand added to the mix. Once the concrete had cured, the roof section has been wet polished while the rest has been wire brushed. Resulting in different textures, feels and looks.

A ghost building on Robertson Street in Glasgow. I love all the different phases visible in the stone and brickwork, especially the window at the top right which is made from blonde sandstone and then has been half filled with red bricks and half with concrete blocks, presumably at different times. This effect may have taken between 100 and 150 years to create.

The sculpted doorway of the Tennent Memorial Building on Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus. Created by Archibald Dawson, it features allegorical figures of Night (left) and Day (right). Under night is a cartouche featuring a sprig of nightshade, a moon, a star and a column capital featuring an owl and a pair of mice, while under Day is a cockerel, daisies and sunflowers.
