Gaggle of Gilded Giant Guys
A quick one from my Birmingham sojourn from yesterday.
This is the gilded statue of Matthew Boulton, James Watt & William Murdock - These guys really WERE giants (of the mind) as these three men created the industrial revolution! This is an old "standard" bronze statute, that the city had gilded in 2004 (ish) for some reason! It is very striking.

Wedding Cake or What?
A "Jobs Roadshow" parked in fromt of the new Birmingham Library building. There is a lot of construction going on around this building, and when i first saw it, I honestly thought that it had builder's scaffolding around it... But then I realised that it is supposed to look like that :)
To be nice to the Brummies, I am sure that once this complex is finished & the hording is removed, and the have a wedding... sorry opening ceremony it will look wonderful.
Leaky Lock
How do you go up hill in a boat? With lots of locks like this. Like steps for boats
This is near the centre of Birmingham.
