A collage of a few photographs that I took when in Birmingham on Saturday 13th February.

Bottom right, a mid afternoon snack of raspberry cheesecake and a large hot chocolate in Debenhams.

Middle left, what I was given to believe was Rackhams, not any more, it is now House of Fraser. Showing a display of Valentines day gifts.

Top centre, entrance to the Bullring Centre from New Street Station.

Left bottom, is an external shot of Selfridges store front with the amazing disc patterns.

Top right is a stylishly dressed middle aged lady and companion buying Valentine cupcakes in the Bullring centre, recovered this image after the store security made me delete the photographs that I had taken inside the shopping mall.

Bottom middle, an intriguing lampshade which was above my head when consuming my Sushi lunch, top left in the collage.



And this delightful young couple, with love and happiness in their eyes popped in front of my camera and without me asking, posed for this photograph.

As the Nancy Sinatra song goes "These Boots Were Meant For Walking" Here.
So these guys took me for a walk in Long Walk Wood they really enjoyed the play in the woods. Imaginary commando's at work, shooting all and sundry with their twig guns.

Then we returned along by the canal to return home for refreshing drinks and dinner.

Our city is being peppered with modern architecture, this edifice replaced a motor dealership which previously occupied this site.

It overlooks many other buildings because of it's elevation, some of those buildings are old like the adjacent church and some of them are modern, as are those are across the inner ring road which runs in front of it, seen in this photograph.

Spectacular views are to be had depending on the weather conditions and on which side of the building one is looking from. Rooms on this side look towards the south, past the church of St Michael, now reused as an architects offices, past the Cathedral across the Market Place and beyond.
