Panoramic photograph of the interior of Conwy Castle, North Wales, taken in 2014. Enormous medieval stone walls rise on either side of a narrow grassy courtyard, with crenellated towers visible beyond. A cobbled pathway leads towards the far wall, passing low stone foundations and a wooden bench. Gothic arched openings and a short stone staircase punctuate the weathered masonry beneath an overcast grey sky.

Most such sculptures represent figures from Greek, Roman, Egyptian or even Persian mythology, or are allegorial figures expressing particular virtues, such as prudence, the owners wished to be associated with their institution.

Built for the Standard Life Insurance Company in 1890, it's one of the few architectural sculptures representing biblical parables or figures on the city's many grand financial buildings.

Love this elegant but sleek commercial building on the corner of West George Street and West Nile Street in Glasgow. Built in 1911 and designed by Frank Burnet and Boston, it has a mix of Glasgow Style and Art Deco elements.

Ting Kau Bridge, Hong Kong, photographed in 2013. A long cable-stayed bridge crosses a bay beneath an overcast, misty sky. Three pale green towers support sweeping fans of cables, with wooded hills and buildings fading into the background.

Edward Hopper’s Queensborough Bridge (1913). An atmospheric oil painting showing a large steel bridge crossing a river, with tall towers, sweeping structural curves and substantial stone supports. Muted greens, greys and browns create a hazy scene, with buildings and trees visible beneath the bridge.

A low-angle view of a stone castle battlement silhouetted against a luminous sunset sky that gradients from deep orange to dusky violet. The Irish flag flutters atop a tall flagpole, lit by the warm glow of the sun just dipping behind the stone merlons and crenellations, casting a bright lens flare over the rugged masonry.

The Lanarkshire Royal Engineers Volunteers Drill Hall on Jardine Street in Glasgow. Built in 1894 and designed by Robert Alexander Bryden, its brick construction and Tudor style detailing contrasts sharply with the surrounding sandstone tenements.

The Knowe, just off Albert Drive on the Southside of Glasgow. This beautiful Romanesque villa was designed by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson and was constructed as a country house in several stages in the 1850s.

A fantastic set of three Thomsoneseque attic windows on Shields Road on the Southside of Glasgow. I love the shape of the space created between them, which somehow seems just as solid as the surrounding stone.

A lovely example of Victorian floor tiles at the entrance to a tenement close in the North Kelvinside area of Glasgow.

Conwy Suspension Bridge, North Wales, photographed in 2014. View along the bridge, with massive stone towers and pale suspension cables converging towards the centre. Deep blue shadows contrast with cream-coloured cables. Two gulls perch on opposite towers, with the river and shoreline visible beyond.

Joseph Stella’s Bridge (1936), a stylised, symmetrical painting of a suspension bridge. Sweeping pale cables and tall vertical structures form a Gothic-like composition in blue, cream and black, with five coloured circles along the bottom.
