Creative Quarter - Part 2 (April 2019)
Here are some more of the fantastic colours from the street art in the Creative Quarter, Nottingham. The theme for this selection is bubbles and dots:
Creative Quarter (April 2019)
The former wholesale buildings at Sneinton Market in Nottingham are currently being redeveloped and will extend the city's lively creative quarter when finished. In the meantime, much of the regeneration is taking place behind large wooden hoardings covered in colourful street art. The artists are masters of colour, shape, and form, creating a series of engaging murals. These are extracts from the artwork but credit, of course, goes to the original artists:

City Abstracts
For this post I am diverting away from the autumn on the Southwell Trail series to a set of abstract photographs taken along the canal towpath in Nottingham.
This is one of my favourite city walks and whilst I may have photographed this stretch many times it is a bit like the Southwell Trail - there is always something that catches my eye and makes me reach for the camera.
I guess if I delved closely into my photo archive I would see some very similar compositions and even repeats of the same subject, but this type of photography is like listening to a favourite piece of music. Every time I play it, I enjoy it.
On the canal towpath is a metal barrier which reinforces the canal bank. The outer coating has rusted and there are some patches that look like they have been painted in the past - great for abstracts but not so great for the strange looks from people trying to work out why someone would photograph an old metal barrier!
Reflections along the canal are a must. They are fun to capture as the water is constantly moving. A bit of wind, or the wake of barge, or even a bird swimming by, will change the look of an image:
Not far from the canal is a wall of street art. It is refreshed regularly by talented artists. The colours are always fantastic:
Lastly, the Nottingham Contemporary building which I pass on the way back to the main shopping area:
