Home Town Tourist

With the lack of aviation, and travel restrictions, I spent a Thursday afternoon in the City to see what was going on around the Clydeside and City Centre. What surprised me, and is evident in the night shots (taken just before 5pm) is just how quiet the place is. Indeed, my train home, the 1715 to Balloch there were only 3 other passengers in my coach on leaving Queen Street
Anyway, starting on the North side of the river, much building work is going on between Broomielaw and St. Enoch's Square, adjacent to the Euro Hostel and behind the Custom House.

Looking up river from the Glasgow Bridge, the Clyde is all peaceful.

A quick walk under the railway bridge to the King George V Bridge, and a look at the massive development on the South side, anchored by Barclays Bank's new block, which is the most advanced of the construction so far.

Back across the River, with darkness descending, and a view up a deserted Buchanan Street from Argyle Street, at 4.30pm on a weekday.

A little further along, and a couple of views of the Gallery of Modern Art and Royal Exchange Square, from Queen Street.
