James Tucker in Cov

It's getting to be the essay crunch time, and I'm pretty unlikely to be travelling anywhere at all for the next two weeks, unless it's the library (ironically, I'm not sure I have many photos of campus I could post. Later, I guess), so it's all Brum, all the time here. Like this skyline. As the second-biggest city in the U.K., Birmingham actually has a lot of interesting stuff in its downtown. However, most of it was built after the war, when architects had a wee bit of a concrete fetish. But there is some interesting modernist and brutalist stuff kicking around (see the circular tower there) as well as some very recent renovation, such as the new Bullring mall, with its Selfridges department store (the silver blob).
