Stunning, bright and colourful large scale graffiti style works of art have been cropping up all over the city as Glasgow tidies up some if its darker and forgotten corners in preparation for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

These wildlife scenes by artist Sam Bates on the gable wall of the City Halls were commissioned by the city council (with support from NCP) to represent some of the animals which live in and around the city's many fine parks.

It will be illuminated in the near future to brighten up the Ingram Street NCP car park it overlooks.
