Seeing As I Had Some Time To Kill This Evening; As Requested...

...here are a few pictures (garnered from the internet, I'm afraid, as I am no photographer) depicting scenes from my day out in Birmingham.

Kidderminster Railway Station:


Birmingham Snow Hill Station:


Birmingham Cathedral Grounds (where picnic was consumed):


Flock of pigeons (I have to assume not the ones I was feeding):


Entrance to Birmingham museum:


First room of paintings (known as The Round Room):


One of the main corridors (known originally as The Gas Hall):


Two pictures from the selection of Egyptian exhibits:



Bonus picture of one of the exhibits being treated prior to display:


Not very good example of the mass of flowers lining the streets:


And last but not least...
     The Starbucks I wasted so much time in (I got some writing done, honest!):



...There y'go, Eli.

    One thing the English do very well is 'beautiful and historic'.

    I like to think it makes up for the uglier sides to our nature (modern architecture included). It's doubtful to be true, of course, but it's a nice way to think, nonetheless.
