Good morning, Glasgow. It was a bit of a weird start to December with a very localised mist hovering over the River Kelvin below Glasgow University and pretty much nowhere else.

Golden sunlight reflacts off the rippling water of the Kelvin at sunset.
I saw this water when I was out for a walk and the sun was shining on it at sunset. The water rippled and the golden light reflected yellow and orange. I didn't see any ducks today, unfortunately.

The River Kelvin in spate in the West End of Glasgow this afternoon, looking more like its full to its brim with tea rather than water. I haven't seen it like this in quite a while.

It was replaced by the new Queen Margaret Bridge (on what is now Queen Margaret Drive) in the 1920s and much of it was demolished in the 1970s, leaving just the stone piers on which it rested.

The remains of the original Queen Margaret Bridge over the River Kelvin in Glasgow. This cast iron bridge was built in 1870 by John Ewing Walker to provide access to the new neighbourhood of Kelvinside which he was developing.

This year seems to be a bit of a bumper year for Earthstar fungi here in Glasgow. These ones are on the banks of the Kelvin near the Ha'penny Bridge.

I particularly like the wheat sheaf finial on its gable end to signify the mill's purpose.

The old Bishop Mills on the River Kelvin in Glasgow. While this building was only constructed in the 1830s, there have been flour mills on this site since at least the 17th Century.

Abandoned railway bridge over the River Kelvin in Glasgow. This sort of thing always gives me post-apocalyptic survival vibes.

These are known locally as the bird that never flew, the tree that never grew, the fish that never swam and the bell that never rang. You'll see these symbols in many differents forms all across the city.

The ribbons have messages on them inspired by the river running beneath it, and a sign nearby invites people to add their own.

This brickworks was founded by William Baird and Co in 1867, and was still in operation at least into the 1980s.

Just visible further upstream are the piers of an abandoned railway bridge and the 1790s Kelvin Aqueduct which carries the Forth and Clyde Canal across the Kelvin Valley.

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.

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).
