Looking roughly south towards the river. Grey Street is to the bottom left; you can see the beautiful curve. You can see one of the domes of Central Arcade (which, incidentally, was the subject of the first picture ever posted on this site (although the ‘green twiddly bit’ is just a twiddly bit here) and the spire of St Nicholas’ Cathedral. The Castle Keep is also visible to the left of the cathedral, but it’s hard to distinguish in black and white.

Detail of the Theatre Royal building. It’s recently reopened after being restored, and turns 175 in February next year!

I managed to miss Grey Street Garden for a long time as I was a bit busy round the time it was put in(!).
I’m so glad I’ve got to take some pics while it’s still there! Does anyone know how long it’s staying? I’m kind of hoping it’s going to be a permanent thing.

OK, I confess, it took me until New Year’s Day to start to look through the last year for pictures. Ooops.
I found it really hard to choose. There weren’t many pictures that I think are really good, looking back, that I also really like. This photo, taken at the Hoppings in June and originally postedback in June, isn’t great technically, but I really like the greying sky and the lights. It seems to capture the energy at the Hoppings quite well.
Other photos I really liked looking back, in no particular order, were:
Civic Centre Tower
Cows in the City
Theatre Royal
Christmas lights in the Daytime
Castles in the sky
The second beacon
I also want to give an honorary mention to this reflection shot - which I don’t count as it was taken in 2009! - and the New Year’s Eve shot, which seemed to be a real favourite but was only posted yesterday!
I hadn’t realised quite how patchy service had got this year. We hadn’t missed a day for a long time before I lost my baby in November 2009. It’s taken me a long time to start to feel normal again. I’m still not, normal again that is, but I’m closer than I’ve been in a long time. And part of it… well, it might help if you click here and read a post from a couple of months back about what’s going on at my other blog. I know some people have seen already. But… please don’t get too excited? I’m really scared and it’s hard to be positive after what happened last time around.
Anyway. Thank you all for your patience, and I look forward to 2011 being a damned sight better than 2010 :)
