'This Is My Glasgow' is a photographic project from Colin M. Drysdale, author of 'Glasgow Uncovered: 18 Walks Through its Past, Present.' All images are my own.
A throwback to a stunning red sunset over the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow in September 2023. It's also a timely reminder that while it's now getting darker earlier again, it also means we'll soon be into the season of spectacular sunsets. #glasgow #sunset
1860s terraced townhouse on Southpark Avenue in the Hillhead area of Glasgow. I love the shape of the oriel window on this building, which is also repeated on the neighbouring ones. #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #townhouse #victorianarchitecture #hillhead
Love this piece of chalk street art in Kelvingrove Park in the West End of Glasgow. #glasgow #streetart #octopus #chalk #chalkdrawing #kelvingrovepark
Love these adornments on the old lamp posts which you can find throughout much of the West End of Glasgow. Some are picked out in gold, as this one has been, but others are not. #glasgow #glasgowwestend #design #streetfurniture #streetlight #kelvingrove #glasgowuniversity

A bird, a fish, a bell and a tree on the facade of a 1905 tenement designed by A.B. McDonald on Stockwell Street in Glasgow. One of many examples of these four symbols all over the city. #glasgow #glasgowcoatofarms #sculpture #architecture #architecturephotography
A rather beautiful bit of tiling from a tenement close in the Garnethill area of Glasgow. #glasgow #tile #tiling #ceramics #tenementtiles #tenement #glasgowtenements #garnethill #architecture #architecturephotography
The Merchants' House on George Square in Glasgow. Designed by John Burnet and built in the 1870s, the upper storeys, along with the dome and its distinctive finial, were added in 1907 by Burnet's son, J.J. Burnet. #glasgow #architecture #georgesquare #architecturephotography
An unusual, but impressive, French Baroque style tenement on Stockwell Street in Glasgow. Built in 1905, it was designed by A.B. McDonald. #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #tenement #glasgowtenement #stockwellstreet
