Beautiful stonework above the door of Ocean Chambers, 190 West George Street, Glasgow.
I love the details here, especially the central lighthouse and the walruses (or is that walri?) on either side, even if the one on the left has lost a tusk in the 120 years or so since it was originally carved.
@thisismyglasgow I agree, beautiful.
@mbrmark Glad you agree! I love the fact that someone took the time to add this into the design. The older buildings in Glasgow are covered with these sorts of intricate detail, often related to the sea in some way or another (not surprising given Glasgow's maritime history), and even if you have passed the same building a hundred times, on the hundred and first pass you might spot something you've never noticed before. New buildings so rarely have anything like this.
