Some of the older buildings have been looked after, kept clean on the outside even though most of the internal rooms or entire parts of the building are empty. This is common for many parts of cities now, trying to find ways to use them here and there.

This is the Free Library, on the back of the Custard Quarter. Probably in the way that Bournville was run, they created spaces for the workers to do other things than just work, and reading is one of them.

I'll put some more up later but I need to get ready for work now.

Here is the album I've put up. 82 photos of the 350 I took that day.

Great to see your contributions, Elwyn. I missed the graffiti'd urinal, and the ceiling mirror tiles are a good catch. I look forward to seeing more here in due course (though the Flickr album is good for a preview).

Alan is right, you're too modest Elwyn. I like your approach and enjoyed your Birmingham city photographs. You held your own very well against a group of very talented and prolific Dyxumers.

BTW, hasn't time flown, do you remember the Lichfield meet back in 2008? Bob caught us together in (another) pub here although I don't know why I am looking so grumpy! It was my first Dyxum meet and I remember having a great day (it's just a shame that Flickr managed to delete all my photographs from that era).

Yes. I remember Lichfield 2008.

I also have some aerial shots of Birmingham in 2005 but can’t see anything we shot together that matches up.

We could always have another Lichfield or somewhere close to you Bonneville?

Great to see these Elwyn - so many subjects I overlooked! Just shows how much Birmingham has to offer the photographer. TFS.

A friendly suggestion: please number the pictures, so in case somebody wants to comment a specific photo, then it is easier to point to the right one.

Everything was uploaded in a block between food and going to work. There aren’t any descriptions either.

That will come in time.

You can at least be thankful. I attended and shot over a 1000 night photos of a battle at an event last year that I’ve not even got around to processing yet.

Which is when I discovered shooting with an 85mm f/1.4 @ iso50,000!!!

I've gone in and added numbers. If I get a chance I'll find some time to put up the stragglers I shot but didn't put up...
