An old(ish) shot from the archives, taken around this time of year though, and intended to answer the question of how much of Kelvingrove could be seen from the hilltop of Glasgow University.
It was a shot I always forgot to take at the right time of year.
As can be seen, the trees are leaf free at this time- try taking the same view later in the year and all you get is a load of leaves and greenery, obscuring all in the lower half of the view.
In a way, it’s a shame the trees obscure the buildings below, but the only way to expose the view would be to cut down the trees – and that’s not acceptable, or ever going to happen.
It’s a weird pic, even the original didn’t show great detail for some reason, even though it wasn’t dull, just not sunny.
Kelvingrove is in the foreground, with the Glasgow Tower to the left, and one tower of the Kelvin Hall visible on the right.
