...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.

Oh Alice - THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! Every thing looks so beautiful and historic - even the Starbucks. :-)

ReplyDeleteOne 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.
