This is Not Madeline

No, this is not Madeline, her name is Lucy and she is the singer and bass guitarist with local rock band The Madeline Rust.

Although they are based in Beeston, Gail & I went to see them at a gig last night in Litchfield, which is in the West Midlands.

Of course they were as good as when I saw them in the city centre in August, although the venue wasn't as well lit, so I had to increase the ISO a bit to make the images useable.

Midnight Madness

Whilst we were in Birmingham, we stayed at one of the many large hotels along Broad Street. It is probably one of the busiest roads in the city centre. I took this shot at around midnight on the Saturday night. It just looks like rush hour traffic.

Circles

This is the unique Sefridges building in Birmingham. Most people have seen shots of it in daylight, but as we are staying the weekend in the West Midlands city, I thought I would take one at night for a change.

It is certainly a unique shape and with all those silver discs stuck on the side, it makes it look like it belongs on another planet in the far future..
