South Portland Street Suspension Bridge

South Portland Street Suspension Bridge across the River Clyde, Glasgow

This is the most sentimental photograph you are ever likely to see on this web site. If you were expecting a colder gaze from me, I apologize and promise not to do anything like this again.

This is a sign that stands at one end of the South Portland Street Suspension Bridge, a pedestrian walkway across the Clyde River in Glasgow. Maybe it upsets you that somebody vandalized the sign by painting a heart on it and the words: “i love you.” Personally, I regard the sign as a form of vandalism. It’s title is “Clyde Bridges.” We don’t need a sign to tell us that; it’s fucking obvious. All the sign does is get in the way. The graffiti is an improvement.
