          Toby - The trees do make a difference [to the pollution and the view] - especially those in that shot. The work of a mature landscape architect no doubt? 😉

          As for the population - you'd know more about that than I would. I'm not picking that hairy chestnut out of the fire.

          I'll be heading to the Northern Hemisphere in about 10 days and don't want to get off on the wrong foot.

            I've had such a dense day today, it all started with me forgetting my lunch.

            The pollution is much better now, thanks to the public realm improvements such as the bull ring

              Bull Ring? You'll have to explain . . . or is there something I'm missing here?

                  You must admit, to anyone unfamiliar with Birmingham the following sentence sounds very odd in the 21st century.

                    Toby - I take it you're in favour of the Bull Ring? Why?

                    You would think that after spending half a billion pounds on the building they would want to show it off. The website should be crammed with wonderful images of what appears to be an interesting modern building smack in the middle of Birmingham's CBD - not so.

                    That roof [the little you see of it] looks like something Frank Gehry might have designed.

                    I notice a Landscape Architect designed one of the art works - the glass cubes water sculpture.

                    Was there much criticism or opposition to its construction? They must have had to knock down a lot of old buildings to make room for it.

                            It has been a while since this thread was touched... before the transfer in fact. Anyway, I was downloading all the pictures off my camera tonight, clearing up space for the weekend trip and I found some pictures I meant to post here.

                            These are last fall on a walk around downtown Huntsville. I really enjoy taking walks during short breaks. That is unless it is scorching hot which it will be very soon from now.

                              As of today I am "working" here, (as long as the sun does not prevent me from recognizing anything on the screen, what happens in the early afternoon).

                              workplace.jpg
                              And when I take a walk or go cycling (which I really need to do to get my mind cleaned up after a couple of hours playing with the 3D-stuff 😉 ) the surroundings look like this... in downtown Frankfurt.

                                Hi,

                                I have only just come across this post.
                                I work for a company based in the heart of Liverpool city centre.
                                A city that had been neglected for decades is now having nearly £1Billion (yes, one billion!) spent in an effort to restore some of its previous glory.
                                While parts of Liverpool did fall in to a terrible state many people didn't realise that Liverpool has some of the best neo-classical buildings in Europe.

                                The main view out of my window is St.Georges Hall.
                                St George's Hall is widely regarded as a major work of European architecture and arguably, the finest neo-classical building in the world.
                                Alongside this beautiful building is the Walker Art Gallery. Another fine building.

                                Attached are images of my office from inside and out and the buildings mentioned above.

                                Regards
                                Mr S

                                =======

                                  Aha! so that's what that new building is. Now I'm really jealous; you're virtually sitting on top of the La Tasca tapas bar. 😉

                                  Yes, more grade II listed building than any UK city outside of London; more Georgian buildings than Bath. I just hope the collateral damage to either isn't too great during this massive redevelopment....exciting and welcome though it is.

                                        Hello Eric. I was in Hunstville about four weeks ago and I thought it was pretty darn hot then! How do you folks work outdoors in the summer?
                                        Of course, I'm in Maine, so everything tends to be warmer/hotter than here!

                                        Stephen
                                        ps first time in Hunstville, I thought it was a pretty nice. 😄

                                          Stephen, glad you enjoyed yourself here, even if it was hot for you.
                                          Yes it was pretty hot when you were here. The past couple days have been excellent. High of 80 and not a clout to be had. Cool breeze in the shade...

                                          It is getting hot again however.

                                          Did you get to see Big Spring Park downtown? I work a block from here:

                                          http://trends.move.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/huntsville-park.jpg

                                          I try to walk there whenever I can, yes even when it is hot.

                                          I just feel sorry for the guys who just replaced my roof 😮 Now that is hot.
