There a loads of beautiful buildings and lovely areas in Birmingham. I have talked about specific and well known places in other postings. Here are some more random shots taken around the city.
I took a lot more photos than this, but I hope you enjoyed these ones. I may go back and label them if enough people are looking at this posting. Birmingham is a great city, I hope you will check-out my other posts about Birmingham that contain more than just photos.

the contrast of the building is so extreme and the wall murals are great-not at all how I pictured the city
Birmingham is a fascinating blend of the old and new. It’s a much nicer city than I had ever imagined myself and it deserves a much higher reputation than it has for sure. It’s a great city of interest and culture.
I think it is also a fast changing city.I lived in Birmingham 25 years ago and am surpised I could not identify a single structure from the ones you presented.
Nice pics Darren!
I feel inspired to postpics of my city, Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the Caribbean.

Thanks for visiting my Blog, Max. You should post your photos, definitely! Cheers! Darren
Great pictures of a city where I was brought up and lived in for about 20 years until I emigrated to Africa over half a century ago!
I used to work in Colmore Row about 50m up from Victoria Square on RHS.
Hi Darren,
I am glad that you shared with us a good experience from Birmingham UK. I lived in that lovely city for over seven years. Whenever I can, I go back to review the place and see some dear friends. You are right, Birmingham is a good example of a cultural blend. Its architecture is really nice and the people are very friendly . I am a Brazilian, living in Recife, but my heart is in Birmingham!
Thank you your comment! I appreciate you visiting my blog and taking the time to leave your thoughts. Cheers! Darren
I’ve lived in birmingham all my life ,I’m 55 originally from cyprus it’s a fantastic city very underrated ,a lot of the pictures showed places that a lot of people don’t really look for ,I really enjoyed the Costas
Thanks for visiting my Blog and for your comment, Costas! I think as a visitor I notice things that perhaps locals don’t or maybe they take for granted. I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed Birmingham, you are right that is is underrated, it should have a much higher status than it does. It will over time, centuries-old reputations are slow to change! I hope you might enjoy my other England travels too. Cheers! Darren
i was born & bred in brum but left for s. africa over 40 yrs ago, liike your other reader i cant recall most of the photos, i still have family there & hope one day to pay a visit.
Thanks for visiting my Blog, David, and for leaving a comment. I really enjoyed my time in Birmingham and I hope you are able to revisit your childhood city again someday. Cheers! Darren
