Morning after the night before

Balloons

I spotted this in early December, but thought it might be a good picture to reflect the hangovers many people will have today.

I presume the balloons had been used in some celebration in or outside the flats which are just visible beyond the old warehouse in the picture above.

That picture has (obviously) been subjected to more elaborate processing than is usual with those posted to this blog.

Chillington wharf and crane

Chillington wharf

By the Birmingham canal near where it runs under Bilston Road. Formerly a lively point of trans-shipment of goods between rail and canal, this site is now owned by the German railway (DB), who don’t seem to be making any use of it.
