Birmingham Selfridges

    The Bull Ring is a major commercial area of Birmingham, England. It has been an important feature of Birmingham since the Middle Ages, when its market was first held. It has been developed into a shopping centre twice; first in the 1960s, and then in the 2000s.

    The site is located on the edge of the sandstone city ridge which results in the steep gradient towards Digbeth. The slope drops approximately 15 metres (49.2 ft) from New Street to St Martin's Church.[2]

    The current shopping centre is the busiest in the United Kingdom with 36.5 million visitors in 2004,[3] and is also the eleventh largest. It houses one of only four Selfridges department stores and the largest Debenhams outside of London. Consequently, the centre has been a huge success, attracting custom from all over the world, including New York.[4]

      Now I'm getting confused. You and flickrstv appear to be living parallel lives.

      Brilliant! Have tried to capture something of the building but nothing as stunning as yours.

      And another great advert for Birmingham.

      The light curves are great!
      Kudos for finding the right spot, finding it is the skill that differentiates the good from the better.

      great shot, but I feel like the composition could have been a bit more dead on.
