TreeSquare: a glimpse through the trees
In my third foray into Becky’s TreeSquare challenge I’m offering you buildings glimpsed through trees. Glasgow University’s tower can be seen from many vantage points throughout the city – above is the view from Thornwood, and below are a couple of shots from Kelvingrove Park.

Another landmark is Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, seen here from Glasgow University (with the tulips) and from the bridge on the Kelvin Way.

My final gallery includes Gartnavel Royal Hospital, Kelvinbridge Parish Church, and a rather lovely house in Blanefield, a village just outside Glasgow.

Gartnavel Royal looks a forbidding place, especially with that sweeping landscape behind it! I’m sure it’s lovely though. I do feel like I didn’t have long enough in Scotland, so many places and interesting corners I’ve only discovered virtually.

It’s a Victorian “lunatic asylum” in origin so it definitely is forbidding in nature.

Love the tree photos! I kept taking photos of the apple trees at work and putting them on our Instagram until I noticed the top two rows of our profile page were nothing but trees, so I’ve had to give it a break for now. Will probably resume when the apples are ripe though!

They say that hugging a tree is good for readjusting one’s inner balance.
And reducing stress.
Lovely telling 🙂
Best,

This… https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-53138178.amp but not the Scottish Highlands…!! My bad. I think I conflated this with a story about turning one of the large Scottish estates back to nature to improve biodiversity.

Oh yes, I think I read that too. It does make some of the same points about monocultures.
