But I simply cannot resist my impulse to share this image which always brings a smile to my face when I need it most. Jonathan smiling at his alter ego TINTIN who I seriously think has to be a relative of his....the hair a dead giveaway lol...😂😂
Well it doesn't look like we are jetting off on holiday yet does it ?
You will need a new type of passport when you do too, so here is what a typical day out in Nottingham looks like . Mind you there's a Pret where can sit outside with a coffee and eat Avocado toast and yogurt - yummy........mind you that is not where I actually have a drink outside when in Nottingam and it’s not usually coffee or hot chocolate either tbh...
I wish many things, but in this case I wish I was that brave. This is Fifi, a really nice young lady I met in Nottingham today.
She kindly let me take photos as the pigeons gathered and landed on her hand full of bird seed.
Actually on second thoughts I don't wish I was that brave. Forget I mentioned it.
Thanks Fifi for the photo :-)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think this is a beautiful building in Nottingham City Centre that is in quite a sad state of repair. The rainy day actually enhance its charm I think...

I know the centre pic has fake flowers but it's all about the reflections in that one. Watson Fothergill certainly liked his designs to be -well let's say fancy. I pulled in the first two pics from the left when on one of the unpleasant errands and the third in the row was from another day....the city of Nottingham is throwing up a few modern designs no but are restricted by a height cap so none are anything as impressive as new buildings the larger cities in the UK....I live 20 mins walking distance from here and have for all of my life. Different homes but all close to the centre of Nottingham :)
Have a lovely Saturday, the sun has come out here and i hope its shining down on you too....
Now called, The Exchange. It's an elegant shopping center with glass domes on the roof and a stylish collection of fashion and high street shops, within Nottingham's Historic Council House. It's been retailing for over 85 years and is the city’s oldest shopping arcade.
The Exchange Buildings were constructed between 1927 and 1929 as part of a major civic building project which included the Council House. The Exchange was Nottingham's first shopping centre, opened on 22nd May 1929 by the Prince of Wales, who later became Edward VIII.
(Grade II* listed building)

Had an errand in town yesterday and feeling inspired by the photography of my Flickr friend Leon Van Kemenade I had another shot at a couple of architectural/reflection shots and still felt very intimidated but this place seemed quite enough even for me... although a couple of candid street shots left me feeling weak... A bit beyond me I'm afraid..

The casual insouciance of the three young men is what made me grab this shot during my walk around Nottingham city centre on an actual photo shoot where I went quite deliberately on a rainy day hoping to 'feel' invisible which up to a point I did. It wasn't cold so I quite enjoyed my rainy afternoon walkabout out.....
This beautiful Edwardian building was designed by architect A N Bromley in 1904. It stands on the corner of High Street and Pelham Street, and was Jesse Boot’s flagship department store in Nottingham and the forerunner of all Boots larger stores. It included a café and even a library along with the usual toiletry, chemist and gift departments.
The Nottingham Eye (Wheel of Nottingham) makes a welcome return to the city. Here's a few photos of its construction 28 Oct 2021, late afternoon as it was getting dark.

City Centre Nottingham. The visual contrast between the historic Tudor architecture flanked by the modern Nottingham Wheel.
It's called Winter Wonderland, so not to offend those who object to any connection to Christmas.

Boots Library, Nottingham Trent University. Shakespeare Street to the left and Goldsmith Street to the right.
There's a rooftop garden which offers a landscaped outdoor study space with plants, seating made from sustainable materials, And what’s more, the views over Nottingham are stunning! Although I've never been up there.
NTU and its campus has some excellent buildings, both modern and historical.

Took a while, quite a while... almost no one in sight. For those of you who know it, it's usually a very busy thoroughfare.
Looking here at Market Street, Nottingham city centre, in particular from an historic point of view. You can just see that the original company or building was established 1879, which would be much the same for the others too. 140+/- years old.
The current custodians are 'WOLF Italian Street Food', with Market St Dental Care to the right, followed by White Rose WR5, then Debenhams a little further down.
