I love this sculpture by Francis Derwent Wood on 'The Hatrack' on St Vincent Street in Glasgow. It's officially described as a goat-head, but it seems more anthropomorphic than that to me. #glasgow #architecture #sculpture #thehatrack #architecturephotography

I started the day with a sunrise shot of Glasgow University over the River Kelvin, so it makes sense to end with an evening one from the same spot (although not one taken today). #glasgow #architecture #glasgowuniversity #kelvingrove #riverkelvin #nightphotography #kelvingrovepark

William "Boss" Tweed died in jail on this date in 1878 having fallen from grace as the Grand Sachem of the Tammany political machine that stole up to $45M from New York. "I was never a president or a casino owner or able to manipulate entire stock markets," he mused, "but I did what I could."
