It's the 27th of May, and on my way home this evening along Clarence Drive in the West End of Glasgow, I saw this Christmas tree which has just been left out for the bins!

I haven't done a post on the weirder side of life in Glasgow for a while, so here's a great, if rather surreal, bit of street art I came across today on Park Drive in the West End of Glasgow.

Firefighters dealing with a large bin fire this evening Glasgow's Kelvingrove Park. These types of fire are often caused by disposable barbecues being disposed of into bins while still warm.

A view across Glasgow this evening, with the iconic Kelvingrove Art Gallery taking pride of place on the city's western skyline.

Looking out over Glasgow this morning from the Queen's Park flag pole. Given the weather, I think we might have officially moved from late Spring into early Summer (at least meteorologically speaking).

Tonight's sunset on Argyle Street in the West End of Glasgow. On the left is the Kelvin Hall, built in 1926, while on the right is the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, completed in 1901.

Well, tonight's sunset in Glasgow suddenly went from good to spectacular - but the most impressive part of it only lasted for about five minutes!

Tonight's sunset over Broomhill Hyndland Parish Church in the west of Glasgow.

Weird Glasgow Continued: A Ministry of Silly Walks sign I came across today by the children's play area in Kelvingrove Park.

Interesting skies over Glasgow this morning. I think it's what's called a Mackerel Sky (because it looks likw the fish of the same name), which usually means there's a change of weather on its way.

So, I only noticed today that in the first week of May the sun sets pretty much perfectly in the gap between the early Victorian tenements which line both sides of Argyle Street in the Finnieston area of Glasgow. What use is this information? It's of absolutely no use at all, but it does make for a rather cool photo!

Good morning, Glasgow. It's looking like it'll be another fabulous day in the city with yet more sunshine and blue skies. Enjoy!

Glasgow's parks can be a bit of a mess after a sunny day, so it was nice to see the city's refuse collectors out first thing this morning in Kelvingrove Park tidying everything up. Just this one bin took about 20 minutes for them to clean up, and not a scrap of litter or food debris left behind. They really don't get the appreciation they deserve for tidying up after the rest of us!

Tonight's sunset on the Clyde in Glasgow looking over the old Meadowfield Shipyard in Partick in the foreground (last ship launched in 1935), past the BAE Govan Shipyard on the left (still operational) to the titan crane at the former Barclay Curle Shipyard in Whiteinch in the distance (closed in the 1960s).

I don't know whether they've always been there, and I've only just started noticing them, but there seem to be a lot of weird signs around Glasgow at the moment. I spotted this one today in a window in the Hidden Lane. Love the Snacks Provided part, but going back and stopping yourself being born does open up all sorts of time travel paradoxes!

This morning, looking across the Clyde to the 1880s Gothic style Govan Old Parish Church, home to the Govan Stones, a collection of early Christian, Pictish and Viking grave monuments.

Tulips and cherry blossoms today in the sun in Victoria Park in Glasgow.

A shot from this morning of the Belmont Street Bridge rising above the River Kelvin in the West End of Glasgow, with the distinctive red sandstone open crown spire of J.J. Stevenson's 1898 Kelvinbrdge Stevenson Memorial Church alongside it.

Just when I think Glasgow can't get any weirder, I come across this notice pasted on a wall in the East End for a lost crocodile who's run off with someone's best high heeled shoes. If you see him, please let the owner know!
