Following on from yesterdays theme day, another thing that annoys me in the city is modern architecture. It's either so bland and boring or looks ridiculous. Nottingham seems to have almost as many cranes as Dubai at the moment, with various things being built or going to be built. But what is being erected is so out of character for Nottingham, that they are going to stick out like a sore thumb. As you've seen from previous photos, Nottingham's buildings are mainly Victorian or earlier and quite decorative and have character. And to stick a basic brick & glass box next to them, is a crime.
A photo a day from the famous East Midlands city, its surroundings, and wherever the photographic journey takes me.
