Birmingham Library

I love the curves of Birmingham's new Library and the whole layout gives he library a calm feeling... I was quite surprised at that. 

The different levels, nooks and crannies created enable readers to settle into their own literary world, coupled with the spectacular views over Birmingham AND the surrounding countryside (on a clear day) mean there's something for everyone to take in visually.

I've tried to capture a different perspective although this is difficult as so many people love photographing the Library. I'll let you make your own mind up as to whether I succeeded.

Birmingham's Brutalist Architecture, shot just before demolition started

  

Birmingham has perfect examples of Brutalist Architecture but unfortunately it's now about to be demolished to make way for more contemporary buildings. 

I'm sure it'll look amazing but it's still sad to see buildings I grew up with and what i recognise as my childhood surroundings gone forever. 

Around Arley, Worcestershire.

I don’t normally do landscapes but couldn’t resist when I saw the mist emerging late last Sunday afternoon
