Birmingham reflections

I was on the train to Birmingham today. It was very crowded with a lot of people heading for the races at Cheltenham. Fortunately l had a seat reserved. Arriving in Birmingham l was tempted by the shops but soon became overwhelmed by the size and number of shops. I went out for a wander around the area for a look around. It is amazing how much has changed in almost five years. The blip is of the Bullring tower reflected in the new exterior cladding of the station. The extra amused me with the juxtaposition of old and new.
