Jewellery Quarter, January 14th
Sunday saw the January Flickrmeet in Birmingham take place. It was a lovely day – blue skies and bright sunshine. Given how shit the weather has been this month this was something of a miracle. Not a huge turnout but that’s the winter for you. I would say something about Fair Weather Photographers but this was the first time I’d been out with a camera for a while.
We made the most of it and headed out into the Jewellery Quarter stopping off for a bit of graveyard cliche stuff and the legendary Yellow Wall before stumbling across the shell of a nightclub that burnt down last summer. Hog heaven for the likes of us.
My photos are here, group photos are here, discussion thread here.
The next Birmingham Flickrmeet is on February 11th and all are welcome.
Well, I had to miss this one, owing to the need to catch a flight that afternoon from BHX. We spent Saturday on the Worcester Birmingham Canal at Tardebigge where the weather was very windy and overcast but at least it didn’t rain. I just know that Sunday was a 1000% improvement but what can one do?
