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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  8. Trees are wonderful, aren’t they? Was there something in the news about planting trees in the Highlands impacting biodiversity adversely? Sounded both counterintuitive and utterly believable! I’ll see if I can find a link.

  10. Great idea! These photos are all beautiful. The other day I was watching an international news program and one story was from Kelvingrove. I can’t remember what it was about now but I do remember feeling a bit smug because I knew where Kelvingrove was. 🙂

  11. I’ve often thought how much trees add to any landscape. Softening features, improving towns and cities; adding mystery to buildings and rooftops half glimpsed sticking out the green maze but not fully revealed; ever changing colours with the various seasons… and that’s without even mentioning any environmental or wildlife benefits.
