Birmingham (Warwickshire, not Alabama)

1. Debenhams

2. The (back of the) Odeon (where I saw Prefab Sprout and Elvis Costello in the mid-80s)

3. Stoke Station (on the way back from Birmingham is how this one sneaks in)

These are great. Debenhams [otherwise known as Selfridges

] has quite the place!

It's not Debenhams it is Selfridges

Quick go back and change it and make me look daft.

It is a striking picture of what is now a striking building. I cant help wondering how it will look in 10 years time though.

I have a few pics of it here

Love the composition of the Odeon picture

Nice group of geometric patterns and textures.

Man I love that first shot, very very cool. Number 2 makes me think of the movie Anchorman "It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries."

Interesting building, looks like a giant sheet of bubble wrap.
