A week before coming to Athens, we went to the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham because an Artemisia Gentileshi painting was being shown and I would travel a long way to see one of her paintings.
Facing the gallery is Oozells Square - it is so lovely and minimalist: just gravel, concrete and a thin strip of water.
So calm and restful.As we walked towards Brindley Place I noticed the detail on the ground: shards of pottery inserted between the bricks
Brindley Place is big, and I could not get all of it in a photograph so here are bits of it
Lots of people sitting around enjoying the sunshine
deckchairs on the lawn for people to use
I tried to find out about these arches but I could not
Overall, a lovely square.
Water running down the side of this wall - people were taking selfies in front of it
We then moved on to the canal
Some nice old bridges - Birmingham is an interesting mix of the old and the new
