This Is My Glasgow<p>The rather unique-looking former Prudential Insurance Company building on the corner of Renfield Street and West George Street in central Glasgow.

I particularly like the pair of corner turrets.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/buildingphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>buildingphotography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/turrets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>turrets</span></a></p>
