EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of West End, Glasgow in 1950. From high above, we are granted a bird's-eye view of this bustling cityscape as it stretches out before us. The misty atmosphere adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Our eyes are immediately drawn to the iconic landmarks that define this area. On one side, we see the majestic Glasgow University standing tall with its grand architecture, symbolizing knowledge and enlightenment. Nearby, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum stands as a testament to Scotland's rich cultural heritage. The River Clyde winds its way through the heart of this urban landscape, reflecting glimmers of sunlight amidst its gentle ripples. Alongside it flows the meandering River Kelvin, adding another layer of natural beauty to this concrete jungle. Amidst all these man-made structures lies the enchanting Glasgow Botanic Gardens with its crown jewel - The Kibble Palace greenhouse. Its intricate design is visible even from up here, showcasing nature's splendor within an urban oasis. Connecting these different parts of West End is Queen Margaret Bridge, serving as a lifeline for commuters and pedestrians alike. This photograph captures not just buildings or infrastructure but also tells a story about life in 1950s Glasgow – a city brimming with history and progress. It serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid development and change over time, certain elements endure – like our appreciation for art, education, nature's beauty, and connectivity
