That's stunning! With a panorama that big all the shit stuff fades into the good stuff. Absolutely brilliant.

Deleted as the image location seems to be problematic (reposted below).

That one is a cracker. Just a query what is the brown/red building on the horizon along the lines of Broad Street? Never noticed it much before.

[Ginger Tosser]

Is it Five Ways Tower (empty as it's a Sick Building!)



Changed the image location as the original seems to have issues (for me anyway)

[Mercurius]

Noo thats a bit too far left. Its bang in the middle.

[van heckler]

Do you mean Broadway Plaza (to the right of Auchinlech House) or Trident House (to the right Cumberland House)?

The top panos working fine although the last image link needs fixing to show the full image.

[Mercurius]

Yeah same here VH. I think it may be, It is the one that look's redbrick on the top pano, to the left of a crane.

The images aren't loading for me. I wanna see the pano too!

Should be working now, i'll post that centre bit as well. Hopefully it'll clear that question up/

[Gherkin]

Why was Efflorescence banned?

[van heckler]

Probably cause he was Flogging Molly. It's a shame cause he is a good forumer. Next time he needs to be more discreet.

[Mercurius]

When did he say he was Flogging Molly though?

[GrAfiK_248]

ahh i can see it now aswell

great photo!

The first picture is begging for a future skyline render. Someone? With V Building, VTP 200, Snow Hill buildings, The British Land tower, Maritenau (however you spell it) Galleries, New Street Twin Towers, the Cube and the Beoruma (however you spell it) quarter. Will look stunning!

[GrAfiK_248]

we do have one using that photo, hidden in part 2. could be updated

[Ginger Tosser]

Another pano from last week.



Taken from the Palasades carpark roof, stitching goes a bit crap on the old JJB extension.

One from Flickr of view from old Haddon Tower. View should be good when we get a tall replacement.

i don't think there's anything in the bottom half of that picture that can't be described as a lame piece o' shit. i hate houses in possible city centre expansion zones

Dear lord, another one.

So where do you propose we put families in Birmingham? Shove them all out in the suburbs and leave the city centre a desolate playground for the 20-somethings who live in the brand spanking new (and half empty) city centre appartment schemes? Okay yes those houses are nothing special and could certainly have been higher quality but the idea we should stop family homes being built near the city centre is stupid, there are plenty of other areas for offices, shops and appartments, this area is right next to park central and so is perfect for these houses IN MY HUMBLE AND MUCH DERIDED OPINION.
