The old and the new

While walking through the city centre to get to the register office I spotted this scene of the Hall of Memory (foreground) and the brand new Library of Birmingham in the background. I like the contrasts :)

Well spotted- there is really a very distinct contrast with the older building and the ultra modern library. Good shot.

I like the contrast between the buildings. Good eye, Alia, and a lovely capture.

A beautiful capture of those two compared buildings. Great composition and you pov. with the lovely red flowers in front of it

[Sue Wilde]

Terrific capture to demonstrate these two

[Janet]

Very nice contrast photographed beautifully as usual :)

[Nicole Campbell]

Great contrast, that building looks like a wedding cake

[Dione Giorgio]

I remember passing the hall of memory on the bus with my Nan.. I asked "if I forgot something and went there would I remember it?" she said 'yes dear' so I guess she wasn't really listening. The new library looks amazing, such contrasts indeed

[Amrita]

Wonderful contrast!

Great shot, Alia! What a great comparison and yes, they contrast each other quite well. It's almost like an "out with the old and in with the new" kind of thing. I like the older building far better than the new one. It looks like it has so much history in it. Well done :)

Love the composition of this shot, the different shapes, and the contrast between the two buildings.

What a great comparison. The red flowers really pull it all together. Great eye.
