Urban Oddities

After the last set of photos, something completely different.  Some evocative views of true urban settings.

First in  Birmingham, Kath asked me to take this picture.  I suspect it will end up as a piece of textile art in due course.  One building reflected in another.

 

Here it is un-reflected – not half so interesting.

Then for contrast, but only a short walk away, a more historic scene.  We squeeze through the seven foot wide gap at Worcester bar which used to separate two canal companies and necessitated unloading one boat into another across a few yards of land. Now, thankfully, open to navigation.

 

Now we go to Leicester where six feet from our overnight mooring we see this.

Sadly, it appeared to be abandoned.

 

And lastly a puzzler for you.  This picture was taken ten minutes walk from Coventry canal basin.  Any idea what it is?
