Pericles' Tripod

Today the vet informed me that they can no longer let me have Luca’s ashes back for they had cremated him without separating him from others. They did not offer me a compensation. I have replied them and if necessary, will seek advice from the Citizen Advice Bureau. 😔

The entrance to Wemyss Bay Railway Station on the Clyde Coast. It was designed by James Miller, one of my favourite Glasgow architects, and was built in 1903. #glasgow #wemyssbaystation #jamesmiller #architecture #architecturephotography

Peacock in the golden hour after sunset. He is particularly pleased as a new pretty white peahen has recently appeared & appears to be living in the orchard. Peafowl do exactly what they want so I am not surprised at the new arrival. I hope she likes it here & stays.

I love the acroteria on the pediment above this window. It's on a terrace of town houses on Hyndland Road in the West End of Glasgow built in the 1880s and thought to have been designed by H. and D. Barclay. Cont./ #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #acroterion

From The Natural History of Stafford-Shire (1686). This marbled paper swirls together rich red, blue, and gold, or, as we know it, the tricolour of Queen’s University. A fitting palette for graduation season, where centuries-old craftsmanship meets new beginnings.
