The Tall Ship, the amazing Glenlee, moored on the River Clyde beside the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, not all that far from where she was built in 1896. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glasgow/tallship/index.html

The irony, of course, is that the Riverside Museum in home to Glasgow's transport museum, and there had previously been talk about seeing if these lines could be used to run a heritage tram along this section of the waterfront.
Old tram lines (I think) running along the north bank of the Clyde in Glasgow photographed January 2025 (top), and the same lines photographed today. They've been removed as part of work currently going on between the old Queen's Dock Hydraulic Pump house and the Riverside Museum. Until this happened, this was probably the longest surviving stretch of tram lines left in the city.

The Glasgow Transport Museum's Infinite Velodrome. This is a metal Möbius Strip hanging from the ceiling of Zaha Hadid's magnificent Riverside Museum building displaying all sorts of bicycles from different eras of cycling.
Turns out Glasgow's reddit is not big on the amazing Zaha Hadid architecture.

I agree with those comments.The old museum was much better. It was a building designed for exhibition.
The new one was a monument to the atchitect's pride. It looks nice but if it does not fulfills it's basic function well it's not a good architecture. It's just an oversize abstract sculpture.
Just a quick reminder I've currently got an online exhibition of my Glasgow sunrise and sunset photos, including this one, running on my website at https://www.thisismyglasgow.com/online-exhibitions/sunrise-sunset-online-exhibition-15th-31st-january-2026/.

Good morning, Glasgow, and what a way to start the day! This was this morning's sunrise looking up the Clyde from the city's Riverside Museum.

Sunset at Zaha Hadid's 2011 Riverside Museum on Pointhouse Quay in Glasgow. Reflected in the lower window is the 2024 Govan-Partick Pedestrian bridge, with the buildings of Govan beyond that.
