The iconic Rotunda still stands proud !!!

Birmingham city centre's most iconic building. ... In spite of all the things that goes on, The Rotunda has seen a lot of changes in Birmingham city centre and around it and the building continues to stand tall as it entered a new Millenium.

 

The Rotunda is a cylindrical highrise building in Birmingham, England. The Grade II listed building is 81 metres (266 ft) tall and was completed in 1965. Originally designed to be an office block, by architect James A. Roberts A.R.I.B.A., it was refurbished between 2004 and 2008 by Urban Splash with Glenn Howells who turned it into a residential building, with serviced apartments on 19th and 20th floors.

 

I am glad to say; this stood the test of time and remains a landmark for us, in Birmingham City... So just stand tall, stand proud. know that you are unique and magnificent. Because you do not need the approval of others!

 

Many thanks here, for your comments and compliments, my cool flickr friends !!!
