Polmadie View

Spent a large part of this weekend driving back and forth to Polmadie Recycling facility. We're starting work on the back garden again, and I took the opportunity to remove the large pile of bricks the previous owner had built up in the bin area, along with our rubble. Turned out they were very old bricks - solid ones with out any holes - so, of course they were rather heavy. Hence, several trips were needed to save the old car's axles from giving out.

On one of the trips, I diverted down Polmadie Road to see the M74 work. At the bridge over the main West Coast Railway line, the view opens up across the city.

From left to right, the most distinctive features on the skyline are: the University library; Thompson's Caledonia Road Church; Anderston; the Capella Building in the IFSD (surprisingly prominent from this angle!); and the Gorbals tower blocks.
