really? maybe you need to actually see BWP from that angle. That's how it looks!

and no the photo isn't good. It's a low quality badly taken photo showing a few blobs with lights.
that's your subjective opinion. I personally think its a smashing photo. I'd love to see some similar "few blobs of lights" of sheffield

Well every time i've seen it it's looked nothing like that (it's white/silver with neon lights down the side for a start).

No it's not subjective. The photo IS shit. And see above.

You know I mean I didn't compare Leeds to any other cities, so don't twist things.

well you've not looked hard enough. That's how BWP looks from that angle.

Any opinion on a photo is just that, an opinion. Therefore it is subjective. Why you insist on ruining a thread by singling out photos and calling them shit, and being relentless in your continued comments is beyond me

no, you just decided to target leeds, call a photo *SHIT* (despite it looking no diferent to most other photos on here).. and then if anyone objects to your comments they are considered to be turning it into a "leeds vs the world argument". for fucks sucks, just go away will you.

wiggles, can you please take this elesewhere, this is meant to be a PHOTO thread not a bitch-fest.

Enough already, you ARE ruining a decent thread and no one else is to blame.

Move on or post PROPER photos.

If a mod is reading this thread, can you delete all the pointless drivel including this post, cheers.

I love how you single out me, and completely ignore the person who started an unneccesary attack, who feels its ok to relentlessly call a photo SHIT (despite opinions being subjective). You are also completely blind to the fact that all of my posts are responses. None of have been initiating off-topic posts.

I'm sorry, I forgot. People are allowed to make unwarranted and unnecesary comments, but the moment I respond its my fault. my bad. So predictable.

For me personally, these are the ugliest buildings I have ever seen in the UK. Its a good job that pic isnt all of the city centre highrises in view, and most of the high rises are actually in another part of the city, somewhere else

Not Concourse House? Like they say, there's no accounting for taste.

Ah, that would be the obvious answer. I was trying to think of what 'viewing tower' type buildings there are in Birmingham.

In fact that's still about 40/50 meters lower than the tallest bit of that vertical theme park they're thinking of building
