Birmingham, Part 2

August 8
For our last full day in Birmingham, we walked through the center of the city and towards an up and coming artsy area. 

We started at the massive conglomeration that includes the train station and a huge mall. The silver building above is a Selfridges. The mall is called the bull ring because there used to be bull baiting in this spot. 

The artsy area is called the Custard Factory and there seem to be many art studios, classes, workshops, and so much street art. 
Old brick buildings ...

And new. Those ovals are the balconies for the apartments in that building. 

A parking lot delineated by crushed cars. 

Table tennis club. 

Canal side art. The gigundo beams above the wall are part of a HS2--high speed rail project.

This viaduct tunnel was in a critical scene in Peaky Blinders. We felt very safe nonetheless. 

We passed through a few tunnels as made our way home.

Walks in Bath and Bristol

Image
August 1-3 We've covered a lot of our environs on foot the last three days. First, we encountered a film crew on one of the grand Bath byways. Netflix is filming the Seven Dials, an Agatha Christie series here now. As far as we can tell, that doesn't look like Martin Freeman or Helena Bonham Carter, but word has it they were in town. Turns out this is a popular locale for filming period series and movies. Might be enough to make us check out Bridgerton.  The Kennet and Avon canal runs through Bath and we saw this local inhabitant on one of the boats for hire. May we be so lucky next week!  We also walked by the second deepest lock in England! Makes a nice vertical garden. Outside of Bath is Prior Park, and the centerpiece there is an estate built by Ralph Allen with the express purpose to market the glorious stone he happened to quarry (he was quite an entrepreneur). It is beautiful and has gorgeous views of the entire Bath area....

London Royalty

Image
Westminster Abbey was our first stop on our tour of all things royal.  Lots of history (and history makers) memorialized here. It's pretty much a massive cemetery where they also hold weddings and coronations.  These windows adorn the chapel where Oliver Cromwell is buried.  Mark prefers this pose for his tomb. Note the smaller person at his feet.  This pose will do for me.  A view through the cloisters.  Buckingham Palace is nearby. As is this amazing bronze statue on top of Wellington arch, commemorating Wellington's victory over Napoleon.  We ended our royal tour at Kensington Palace. We didn't go into either palace but did enjoy their lovely grounds.

Graffiti Selections

Image
Cruising in Birmingham and its urban surroundings exposed us to a lot of graffiti. We rarely know what it means but it often caught our attention, whether for a seeming sense of humor... Or sharp detailing and vivid colors -- these are probably familiar characters to some who see it.  We know these dudes.  Some sections had panel after panel of scenes.  We are fond of capturing one mode of transport while riding another.  This was a long scene that got partially covered by another artist. Interestingly that doesn't seem to happen all that often. I know what this one means.
