Birmingham (January 2014)

This is the third post from a selection of photographs taken in Birmingham, in 2014. The previous posts feature the Library of Birmingham and the Selfridges Building and these are a few of the other photos taken whilst walking between those locations. The subjects are varied but the main theme is colour in the city centre, from reflections in the steel facade of the railway station, to the market in the Bullring, and the more muted tones of the statues in Victoria Square.

I have enjoyed looking back at this visit to Birmingham, processing a few images that I had forgotten about and some that I had never processed at the time. In the current virus lockdown it has felt like a virtual photography session following, through the photography, a route around the city centre. At the same time I have also started other similar virtual sessions from 2014 which includes the Peak District, the coast of Northumberland, and a fresh look at photographs from the Canary Islands (a virtual holiday!). 

Of course, none of this replaces actually getting out and about with the camera but there does appear to be light at the end of the lockdown tunnel, as the roadmap to the end of all restrictions begins at the start of March. I look forward to this happening but in the meantime here are the pictures from Birmingham in 2014:
