I went in to central Glasgow this morning to check out the newly re-opened western section of the re-vamped George Square and I have to say I love it.

A warning sign I came across this afternoon in George Square in Glasgow. Given how often I've just about been hit by a bus while photographing the city's architecture, it's good advice!

I've been told these will preserved during the current refurbishments of the square, but part of me will worry they might not be until I see for myself that they're still there.

Finally, the seating and tables help give it a very European feel. As long as the rest of it matches this part, it's going to be a real asset for the city (or at least that's my opinion).

Getting rid of the road has opened up the space and really shows off the surrounding architecture to its full potential. The newly planted ginkgo trees will look spectacular when their leave turn golden as the autumn progresses.
