The work of art, two yards high and 13 yards across, now dominates the main wall of the refurbished Hillhead station in the west end of the city.
Gray's work, commissioned by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), shows a panoramic and detailed sweep of the west end, from Byres Road looking east towards the centre of Glasgow, with landmarks such as Glasgow University, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Hillhead library, and the Botanic Gardens.
