Bordesley railway station is a small railway station serving the area of Bordesley in Birmingham, England located between Birmingham Moor Street and Small Heath stations. The current minimal level of service at the station is provided by London Midland services between Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford-upon-Avon.
The single island platform is above street level, as the railway line here is on a viaduct. The only public access is from Coventry Road, directly underneath the railway bridge.
Bordesley station was opened in 1855 by the Great Western Railway on their main line from London (Paddington) to Birkenhead (Woodside). It was originally a two platform station, but was rebuilt as a four platform station with two island platforms when the line was upgraded to four tracks during 1915. The station once had extensive cattle sidings adjacent to and on Duddeston Viaduct
The station still carries the painted lettering "BR(W) Bordesley Cattle Station", and "Bordesley Cattle Station GWR" from the time when, as part of the Great Western Railway and later British Rail's (Western) region, it was used to bring cattle from the countryside to the Bull Ring markets.[3]
The station was downgraded in the 1960s to minimal facilities and services, and one island platform was taken out of use. Its main function since has been to cater for football fans travelling to Birmingham City's St Andrews football ground on match days

I love cityscapes that are fronted by water. Really nice effect you get and a great way to see the whole skyline at once. Louisville's not that big of a city compared to others but it's a lively and entertaining place to be. I still favor the Wildcats over the Cardinals though... ;)

The Citadel is sometimes referred to as Mohamed Ali Citadel (Arabic: قلعة محمد علي Qalaʿat Muḥammad ʿAlī), because it contains the Mosque of Mohamed Ali (or Muhammad Ali Pasha), which was built between 1828 and 1848, perched on the summit of the citadel. [3] This Ottoman mosque was built in memory of Tusun Pasha, Muhammad Ali's oldest son, who died in 1816. However, it also represents Muhammad Ali's efforts to erase symbols of the Mamluk dynasty that he replaced. When Ottoman ruler Muhammad Ali Pasha took control from the Mamluks in 1805 he altered many of the additions to the Citadel that reflected Cairo's previous leaders. One obvious change that Muhammad Ali enacted pertained to the uses of the Citadel's northern and southern enclosures. During the Mamluk period the southern enclosure was the residential area, but Muhammad Ali claimed the northern enclosure as the royal residence when he took power. He then opened the southern enclosure to the public and effectively established his position as the new leader. [4].
The mosque is the other feature of the Citadel that reflects the reign of Muhammad Ali. This feature, with its large dome and overtly Ottoman influenced architecture, looms over the Citadel to this day. Recently destroyed Mamluk palaces within the Citadel provided space for the formidable mosque, which was the largest structure to be established in the early 1800s. Placing the mosque where the Mamluks had once reigned was an obvious effort to erase the memory of the older rulers and establish the importance of the new leader. The mosque also replaced the mosque of al-Nasir as the official state mosque.
I believe this to be the greatest quote from Muhammad Ali in his interview with David frost when asked how he would like to be remembered
The 14th century Mamluk Sultan, Al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawoon (r.1293-1294; 1299-1309; 1309-1341) left behind a number of monumental mosques, funerary complexes and sabil-kotabs throughout Cairo in Fustat and Fatimid Cairo. Nevertheless, his mosque in the Citadel is the best known and most colossal of the monuments al-Nassir left behind.
Built in 1318 during his third and longest reign (1309-1340), the mosque was intended to become the imperial, or royal mosque at the heart of the Citadel and replace Salah al-Din's modest Ayyubis mosque. The Citadel, at the time, lacked majestic and imperial mosques to proclaim the glory of the state atop of the city.
The mosque forms a free-standing, rectangular block, the austere exterior of which might be accounted for by the military nature of its setting and the Mamluk state in general. It follows the hypostyle scheme with the standard pattern of a rectangular courtyard, with a sanctuary on the qibla side and arcades surrounding its other three sides. The arcades of the sanctuary and around the courtyard are formed by marble columns with pre-Islamic capitals carrying pointed arches with ablaq voussoirs. Above each arch is a pair of pointed-arched windows. These windows form the lower part of the crenellated wall which was probably added above the arcades in 1335.
The two minarets exhibit features unique among the extant minarets of Egypt. The shafts and tops are believed to have been built in 1335. They are the only minarets in Egypt whose bases are below the level of the roof of the mosque. A possible explanation is that these bases predate the raising of the roof in 1335.
According to Maqrizi, Amir Qawsun hired a Tabrizi architect to build his mosque (1329-30), which had two minarets modeled after the minarets on the Mosque of Vizier 'Ali Shah Ghilani at Tabriz (none of these exist today). Also fashionable in Ilkhanid Persia were faience mosaics, which, on this bulbous top, are executed in green, white and blue, like those on the sabil attached by al-Nasir Muhammad to the madrasa of his father Qalawun (sabil 1326, mosaics probably after 1348), with an inscription band of white faience mosaic around the neck of the bulb.
The circular shaft of the western minaret's first story is carved with a herringbone or vertical zigzag pattern; that of the second story, which is also circular, is carved with a horizontal zigzag motif or chevrons. These zigzag motifs make their first appearance around the shafts of Egyptian minarets at this mosque. The western minaret continues the Cairene tradition of placing minarets at the portals of foundations. Its location at the western portal, which was the ceremonial entrance facing the sultan's apartments, accounts for the distinguishing of its shafts from those of the eastern minaret by lavish stone carving.
The mosque's height was increased, roof rebuilt, and green-tiled wooden dome added over the maqsura in 1335. It was the royal mosque of the Mamluk sultans where their Friday prayers were performed. It was one of the most spectacular mosques of the city until the original tiled wooden dome over the nine-bay maqsura in front of the mihrab collapsed in the 16th c. and the marble dado was carried off by Sultan Selim to Istanbul.
