Walking to the studio with heavy supplies and a camera
I still have the curiosity of a wanderer
So on cold days, long days and wet weather
I still find a picture

Sunday 1st March was the occasion of the Carabao Cup Final between Manchester City and Aston Villa. This meant a good selection of Midlands and Northern-based coaches came to visit the London stadium.
Visiting coaches included Birmingham International of Tile Cross Scania K410 / Scania Interlink C53FLT YN69YBB.

Considering I've been to Birmingham many times I'd never been in the Ikon Gallery which is particularly surprising as I'm a bit partial to Contemporary Art (the good stuff anyway......). This sign just inside the entrance caught my eye for the mix of materials.

From Wikipedia : "The Ikon Gallery (grid reference SP060866) is an English gallery of contemporary art, located in Brindleyplace, Birmingham. It is housed in the Grade II listed, neo-gothic former Oozells Street Board School, designed by John Henry Chamberlain in 1877. The gallery's current director is Jonathan Watkins.
Ikon was set up to encourage the public to engage in contemporary art. As a result of this, the gallery runs an off-site 'Education and Interpretation' scheme that educates audiences, promotes artists and their art. The gallery is open every day of the week except Mondays, though it opens on bank holiday Mondays.
Featured artworks include all forms of media including sound, sculpture and photography as well as paintings. Exhibitions rotate throughout the year so that as many pieces can be displayed as possible. Ikon is a registered charity which is partly funded by Birmingham City Council and Arts Council of England."
