Step into the heart of modern Glasgow with this striking aerial photograph capturing the River Clyde winding through the city’s urban grid. The verdant expanse of Glasgow Green unfolds in the foreground, with its carefully planned paths and monuments offering a tranquil counterpoint to the layered density of the city beyond. The bridges span the river like connective threads in a vast civic tapestry.

This officially published postcard by Colin Baxter Photography (Catalogue No. G78) showcases the photographer’s signature clarity and colour depth. Known for elevating everyday landscapes into striking compositions, Baxter offers here an unmistakably Glaswegian perspective — from the civic sprawl to the riverside industry, modernist blocks, and anchored historic monuments. Although undated, the architectural clues suggest a late 20th-century to early 21st-century capture.

Ideal for collectors of contemporary Scottish views or urban transformation photography, this card preserves a moment in Glasgow’s evolving visual identity. Light edge and corner wear is present, consistent with careful storage. A meaningful addition for those who value modern heritage documentation or seek to reconnect with personal memories of the city.
