brindley place

im just doing a little bit of back blipping now to fill the last few days up. yesterday we put our warm clothes on, fueled up the car and took a drive into birmingham. i did a little driving about and decided brindley place might be a good spot, so found a car park, and paid for a ticket.

now, this is where the plan kind of fell apart. i took my camera out of the bag, and mounted it onto the tripod and switched it on, i managed 2 shots before, to my horror, the battery died! dammit!

the last time i switched it on, it had plenty left, so i never thought about it. i also didnt think about the fact that the other half used it the day before and took a million pictures with it. oh well, i have now ordered a spare battery!

this is the better of the 2 pics, but you can see the i.c.c. and the hyatt in the background, as well as thet malt shovel where a certain american president visited a few years ago, in the seat i just got out of. what a claim to fame, i warmed his seat!
