Birmingham Pictures

We're in London! And we're really excited to be here. But first, here are some Birmingham pictures like I promised ...

This is the Bullring shopping centre, which claims 160 shops. But including other large shopping centres within a few blocks, plus the nearby shopping streets, I'd guess there's easily a thousand.



Here's one of the shopping streets, and some newer architecture behind it.



This is the city's main museum. I briefly toured it. It includes great collections of ceramic and glass art and Pre-Raphaelite paintings.



This is a walkway over a busy road. It heads towards some performance art centres and a large Ferris wheel.



And here's a picture of the canal that runs behind the Mailbox shopping centre.
