Philosophy

Back to work and the weather was stunning driving into Glasgow this morning.

This is a view from the Kelvin Way Bridge looking towards Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery.

The bridge has possibly the finest set of sculptures in the city, which were designed by Paul Raphael Montford. They were commissioned in 1914 but not erected until the 1920s. The four pairs are Peace and War; Navigation and Shipbuilding; Philosophy and Inspiration; Commerce and Industry. Each pair of figures sits aside a carved pillar topped by dolphin heads and a lampstandard.

I wonder what eternal problem Philosophy is pondering over?
