An Elephant for Glasgow

This life size elephant lives in Bellahouston Park. It was created, in part, using now redundant and scrap locomotive parts made in the shipyards of nearby Govan and exported to the Commonwealth. It's a permanent monument to Glasgow's successful hosting of the Commonwealth Games in 2014 and sits on the site of the 1938 Empire Exhibition held in the park. I like it standing in the trees.

Through to Glasgow this morning for a quick visit to T, K and baby L. He is such a good wee lad. Walked in the park beforehand. Still really sunny and bright but a cold northerly wind. I'll look forward to taking L to the park to visit the elephant when he's older.

Home now and there's work to be done getting ready to welcome M for a week's visit.
