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.

To give an idea of its history, it doesn't appear as a named road on maps until the 1930s, and prior to that, it seems to have only been a pathway leading through the park, created for the 1888 Glasgow International Exhibition, and later expanded for the 1901 exhibition.

It was another wonderfully sunny morning on Kelvin Way in Glasgow. For me, closing this road to traffic (which happened in 2020) has been a major success. It doesn't cause me much inconvenience when I drive around the West End of the city, and it's created a rather brilliant, and well-used, public space which re-unites the two sides of Kelvingrove Park.

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!

I love this panel in one of the playparks in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow. I'm not too sure if it's purely decorative or if it's an ornate manhole cover. As far as I can work out, it's a scene from Don Quixote, but that's just my best guess.

I came across this tree today in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow. This city can be weird sometimes. Imaginative, creative, amusing, but still rather weird - wonderfully, wonderfully weird!

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).

Something that I really don't understand is people who go to a public park - supposedly to enjoy the nature, the sun, the possibility to seat on the grass etc.
... and then just leave all their trash behind like this

PS: this is in #Glasgow, #KelvingrovePark if anyone knows what could be done about it

Photo of a park with some grass, a tree on the right and trees on the background, and a bunch of trash left on the ground: plastic bottles, plastic containers, cups, a bin bag
