It was Saturday, the sun was out - and the Crocus announced the coming of Spring in colourful harmony.

The bridge accross the River Kelvin just at the back of the Botanic Gardens.

A view down Great Western Road.

Now that is what I call a large tent.

A few more photographs from last months trip over to Madiera.

We took 'afternoon tea' at the famous Reid's Palace Hotel.

Madiera is famous for the blue ceramic tiles that adorn many of its buildings - this beautifully decorated building is the local Toyota Garage.

A closer look at one of the tiled scenes.

10th February 2004

Sleet and snow and rain and cold hands - another lovely winter weekend on Byres Road.

This photograph illustrates the lengths that the Glasgow University cooling tower will go to, to get into a photograph - it leaned into the picture just at the last moment before I clicked the shutter. Not camera shy at all, it just can't bear to be left out.

This plant seems to be preparing for a burst of new growth.

The door knocker on the Costa Coffee shop on the corner of Great Western Road and Otago Street.

How would you like to be tied to a pole in Otago Street?

Sometimes, when the lighting is right, a tree trunk is one of the best photographic models you can work with. Ok, pose, you look great, just one more and we're done.

Mind you, there was some nice sunny weather late on Sunday afternoon - I took this photograph while I was out for a wander. To celebrate the appearance of the sun, it seems appropriate to choose this as this month's mystery photograph; what is this a photograph of, and where is it? Again we have a prize for the winner - courtesy of the Otago Restaurant, Otago are providing a £20 voucher to the winner. All correct answers will be put in a hat and the winner will be drawn out at the end of the month.

I have a selection of my photographs for sale in the Gallery Shop.
