Birmingham Sky

I used to study in Birmingham and lived there for a number of years so I always find it enjoyable and rewarding to revisit. Not least because of the constant revitalisation of the city and its dynamic and bold modern architecture. The extremely futuristic new library seen here is merely the latest in a range of monumental building projects. What I particularly like is that though these buildings are unusual, different and quirky, they are all people-friendly, and reflect the diversity and uniqueness of Birmingham's sometimes belittled place as the "Second City". These buildings are not as imposing and "cold" as many modern buildings in other cities. Apart from the library, this picture also shows the famous Birmingham Rep Theatre and Symphony Hall. But the sky and the light was what really attracted me, taken on a blustery Sunday morning. Location: Birmingham, England
