Uphill Struggle

A man and lady struggle to push prams up a hill in Nottingham city centre (the hill connects the historic Lace Market to the main shopping street).

I'm way behind on my 365.....this is Tuesday ...and I've got a full weeks worth of shots to post too !!!

Tuesday was busy: .We had a long Ruby walk to Woodthorpe park (to have her picture taken for a ...Nottingham Post ....vote for the best dog competition)...we then went to Nottingham to do some shopping and lunch in a Tapas restaurant....oh and then my mate Bill and myself went to Bolton to watch the Wanderers win 1-0 against Huddersfield .....that's almost a Juliette @sparkle schedule .....got home a 00.15 hours and at my desk for work at 08:00 hours next day !!!

I like the contrast here between the old brick building (drainpipes and red brick) and the modern building (glass and steel)....actually , as I'm writing this ....I think I might have posted this location before on my 365 ...ahh well too late now !!!

Actually , just did a quick scan of my 365...I could not find this location .....bwt man with "Wilko" bag on right hand side

I don't remember this scene before & I really like the glass windows on the right, it looks like they are all different colours. The people in the shot give the picture......I can't think of the word...comparison of size!!!
You have had a very good week Phil!!!

I like the contrast too - especially like the colours reflected in the windows.

Great PoV here. Love the scale of that building on the right as it completely overtowers the people
