Downtown Birmingham Part 2

I was downtown this week at Shift Workspace and had to park out back. On my way out through the alley I noticed this wall. Immediately I was struck by the colors on this wall and how they contrasted so well together.

Let me note, again, that this (nor the next few pictures I may post) do not “represent” downtown Birmingham Alabama as a whole. There are a lot of revitalization efforts going on down there (lofts, entertainment, restaurants, urban work spaces) which will hopefully continue to improve the downtown area.

Downtown Birmingham Part 1

I spent a little time downtown this week and just realized how much I appreciate the architecture of buildings built years ago… so I snapped a few pictures.

I loved in this picture the windows with their aged tints and the window guard at the bottom of it.

Trisha Crain Photography

OK, this is not my picture, but it is the ad for a photographer here in town that I HIGHLY recommend. She is Trisha Crain.

We, as a family, have already used her twice, and we have plans to use her again this year. She is very good!
