Birmingham Canal Tunnels

[Stravinsky]

@FUJI - Some of the shots I took down there were after the wire woolers had finished

Nice work.  Reflections / graffiti all add to the images. The light and shadow in the second shot is effective.

I've been piecing together fading memories of running on the towpaths in the late 80's and early  90's  (with the help of  Open Street Map) to work out where they are. Am I right in thinking that the tunnel is where the railway crosses the Birmingham & Fazeley canal? -- Dropping down past the BT Tower was only for long runs so it's a lot less remembered than the bits from the University to Gas Street and through Bournville to the Hawkesley tunnel.

This is actually on Livery Street, thats the street you can see at the top, so the street runs down from Snow Hill towards the Jewellery Quarter

Two more very nice shots Stravinsky ... love the second one ... graffiti absolutely key in the is one ..super balance to the composition and processing is bang on for me ... I love the urban contemporary feel to your work ...

The first one has the look of an L S LOWRY painting about it......it would make a wonderful Watercolour study?

Yes, very close ..... Livery Street, which would be more or less down the side of Snow Hill Station

Yes, yes, yes! Both are great, but I absolutely bloody love shot two.

Great work as always!
