Congrats ;-)

So not surprised.

May I add:

Five Ways

New Street Station

Snow Hill Station

University of Birmingham, Muirhead Tower

And, my favourite street. Welcome to Czechoslowakia, 1969. Though for the full effect you need to see it under a grey sky.

Newhall Street

I don't remember this, but it's spectacular enough to deserve a link anyway.

Above New Street Station

Ugly underpass, lovely lighting. I really liked that place for its incongruity.

I like Birmingham, really, I do. And there's plenty of nice places and buildings there, too. But it really does feature an unusually large agglomeration of unusually ugly buildings - and I'm speaking as someone who grew up near this, and this, and this (minus the trees, of course); and this, and lived a while in a place best characterised by this...

...The Muirhead Tower looks better now than it did before though. Like some kind of a steampunk building of the future.
