On my way back from the river via New Tavern Fort...I've noticed these steps before and the patterns and shapes so today I took a pic...
The fort's main structure, an earth rampart facing the river, is fortified/built on the inner side, with three levels; these lead down from the mid level to the ground. There's be a term for the pattern on the steps; I imagine these are from WW2, no earlier.
The fort is looked after by a team of volunteers who keep it safe to visit and looking good; I think the local Council maintains the gardens.
Another shot from my visit to Birmingham. Hope you don't mind!
Really appreciate your comments and favourites.

Week 39; three quarters of the way through another 52/52 project. It will soon be time to think of the next project; if I do one.
These V Fold photographs show the sign at RSPB Scotland Loch Leven nature reserve reflected upon itself forming a sharp fantastic figure V fashioned from the weathered steel and full of a wonderful coloured sky. It was a great moment of evening rich sky and artificial lights from the car park making for deep colours ad strong silhouettes. I do not normally crop a picture that I reflect upon itself, here I did in part to rest my arms fearing that I might not be steady enough to take this picture, so the crop brings about a sharper image than I could in camera.
The sign with birds in silhouette both open and closed catches the eye and makes for a great positive message as you walk from the Car Park to the Visitor’s Centre. I was very pleased with the single image and also with the joining of images which immediately offered two variants. The two variants were either the original full frame joining forming a Tree V Fold, or a sharper incised cut to make a more precise V Fold at the centre of the pictures.
The Sun and Winter go very well together. Bright and strong the shadow making light built everything, well photographically at least. This is a great place with excellent cafe and visitor’s centre making a superb human reaction to help wildlife. This place is a reserved world of natural wonders nestled in amongst our modern pressures of life and living that often overlook wildlife and the chance to be calmer and closer to the land, water and sky and also to those that never left the cycle of seasonal lifestyle.
