A photo taken last week by Katharine when she went to Sheffield to see her dad. He has recently moved into a care home as his dementia is getting worse, and visits are limited to a maximum of an hour and have to be booked in advance, so there is time either before or after visiting to take a few photos in Sheffield.
This shot is of a balloon shaped sign in the Winter Gardens, and it features a selection of Sheffield landmarks, including the railway station, Crucible Theatre, town hall, Park Hill apartments and university, amongst others. I'm not sure I would agree with all their choices - what about things like the botanical gardens and the cathedral, for example?
It set me thinking about what I would choose to represent York in a simular design, and would my choices be the same as those of the millions of visitors to the city each year?
Those hay barracks where very common when I was young . Now they are seldom.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, Katharine was thrilled.
Sheffield is fortunate in having a lot of public art. I'm sure Katharine will be taking more photos of it on future visits to her dad.

Thank you for your comments. It wasn't an easy choice but we needed to put dads safety first.
