Kelvingrove

2012.05 Glasgow (26 of 40)
On my last day in Glasgow (a rainy Sunday) I headed to Kevingrove, a wonderful and diverse museum. I found out about the museum thanks to an anonymous commenter who gave me a list of things to see and do in Glasgow. Whoever you are - a big thank you. I had the best time.

I already mentioned how moved I was by Dali's Christ of St John of the Cross, but I also loved the architecture of the museum itself and a display on the Glasgow Style an incredible mix of arts & crafts and Celtic.

The floating heads display kept pulling me back. Each time I found a new viewpoint I saw something different and unique.

But the thing I'll probably remember the longest, was two quotes I saw on the walls in the Impressionist gallery:

Elizaveta's "Dreamer", like the quotes above, inspires me to keep dragging the camera out in my attempts to create the kind of photos I see in my head. What is inspiring you this week? Pin It

St George's Square

2012.05 Glasgow (18 of 40)
While in Glasgow I kept finding myself at St George's Square. Partly because it was next to the train station and some great restaurants, but also because I found it beautiful and interesting.

From the Glasgow City Chambers building on one side, to the Ferris Wheel opposite, there is something interesting to look at in any direction. I had planned to tour the City Chambers building, but ran out of time. Something to save for a next visit (my unplanned but hoped for next visit!)

There is something in me that likes to leave one or two things unseen on every trip, I like knowing I have a reason to go back. Do you feel the same way? Or do you always push to see everything on your list with each visit to a city?

I've been enjoying Field Report's "I Am Not Waiting Anymore" this week and it seems like a good way to kick off the week. What are you not going to wait for anymore? Pin It
