The spire of William Leiper's Queen's Park Baptist Church on the Southside of Glasgow reflected in a nearby pond.

The stone spire of a Victorian church reflected in the gently undulating surface of a pond, giving it a very wobbly, but still discernable, appearance.

Love the art nouveau-inspired lines of this tenement on Helenvale Street in the Parkhead area of Glasgow, especially those chimneys. It was designed by John Hamilton and built in the early 1900s.

It's been estimated that 30,000 locomotives produced in Springburn were transported through the city in this manner, first with teams of Clydesdale horses, then steam engines and finally diesel-powered ones.

I love this sculpture of a steam locomotive over the door of James Miller's 1903 North British Locomotive Company offices in the Springburn area of Glasgow. I particularly like the detail of the blocks and chains on either side, which were used to haul the completed locomotives through the streets of Glasgow and load them onto ships using the Finnieston Crane so they could be exported all over the world.

Love this column of recessed bow windows on the facade of the former George Hotel on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. Built in 1907, it was designed by Neil Duff.

A somewhat unexpected Elizabethan style public house in the East End of Glasgow. Built in 1905 on Glasgow Road in the Garrowhill area of the city, it was designed by MacWhannel and Rogerson for the publican Gilbert Stewart. It was originally known as Gilbert Stewart’s Vaults.

Torridon Court in the Woodside area of Glasgow. Built in 1964, it's one of many multistorey flats constructed across Glasgow in that time period.

I've just had a week in Shropshire. First time. What a bloody lovely county.

First on the menu for you, Ludlow, a beautiful and deeply historical town. This small town is home to nearly 500 listed buildings, deemed historically and/or architecturally significant.

A picturesque street scene from Broad Street in Ludlow showcases a striking contrast between architectural periods, with a timber-framed building featuring distinctive dark wooden beams and white infill panels dominating the foreground on the right, its ornately carved bargeboards and leaded casement windows exemplifying Tudor craftsmanship. Behind and rising majestically above the period buildings stands St. Laurence's Church, its golden sandstone tower soaring skyward with multiple decorative pinnacles and a row of tall, pointed lancet windows that speak to its Perpendicular Gothic heritage. To the left, a later red-brick Georgian building provides contemporary context to the medieval street layout, whilst ground-floor shopfronts including what appears to be a clothing retailer occupy the street level, and a clear blue sky with scattered white clouds illuminates the honey-coloured stonework, creating a scene that encapsulates Ludlow's rich historical layers.

A magnificent timber-framed building with distinctive dark wooden beams contrasts sharply against cream-coloured infill panels, featuring multiple gabled roofs with ornate carved details and decorative bargeboards typical of late medieval architecture. The Feathers Hotel in Ludlow showcases intricate geometric lattice patterning across its windows and decorative panels, with the ground floor featuring shop frontage adorned with hanging baskets of vibrant pink and white flowers beneath a covered walkway supported by dark timber posts. The building's stepped gable roofline rises prominently against a partly cloudy blue sky, whilst neighbouring historic structures in pale cream render are visible to the left, and the wet paving stones below suggest recent rain, all capturing the charm of this Grade I listed building that stands as a quintessential example of English Tudor heritage architecture in the heart of Shropshire's historic market town.

A magnificent medieval stone bridge spans the River Teme at Dinham, its three graceful arches constructed from pale honey-coloured ashlar stone reflected in the still water below, whilst ivy and lichen cling to its weathered masonry and parapet walls that are dotted with small plants thriving in crevices. Dominating the skyline behind the bridge, the imposing ruins of Ludlow Castle rise majestically above the riverbank, its sturdy stone towers and crenellated walls partially softened by a vibrant display of autumnal foliage in shades of golden yellow, amber and green, with a red-brick Georgian building visible amongst the trees to the right. The foreground is framed by lush riverside vegetation including sedges and wild plants along the water's edge, whilst the clear blue sky dotted with white clouds and dappled sunlight create an atmospheric scene that captures the historical significance and natural beauty of this Shropshire landscape.

A striking row of historic timber-framed buildings in Ludlow displays the characteristic architecture of medieval England, with Ye Olde Bull Ring Tavern prominently featured at ground level, its brick frontage bearing the establishment's name in golden lettering beneath storeys of intricately patterned dark wooden beams and cream-coloured infill panels that rise to steeply pitched gable roofs. The building, dated circa 1365 as indicated on its left side, showcases multiple mullioned casement windows with leaded panes that reflect the afternoon light, whilst decorative wrought-iron signs hang from the facade, including a stylised tree motif above the tavern entrance. To the right, neighbouring buildings continue the architectural tradition with their own geometric beam patterns and stepped gables, their pale stone construction providing contrast, and the wet paving stones below suggest recent rainfall, all beneath a partly cloudy sky.

Love this recently refurbished decorative ironwork on one of the mausoleums in the Necropolis, Glasgow's first major Victorian cemetery. There seems to be a definite influence of Islamic art to its design, especially in the latticework of the central arched panel.
