Hand-painted signs in the Children's Wood in the North Kelvinside area of Glasgow. While I like these, there's a slightly post-apocalyptic feel to them (although that might just be me!).

St Charles, North Kelvinside, Glasgow. Designed by Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, 1959-60. Contains sculptures by Benno Schotz. The separate concrete tower acts as the squire. All in stark contrast to the red sandstone presbytery. #glasgow #gillespiekiddandcoia #gillespiekiddcoia #northkelvinside
The lower one features anthenion or stylised palm fronds, while the upper one features a repeated geometric design.
