Modern times.

I was wandering around Worcester, my local city, this morning, looking to capture something of that place. What I got instead was this. And then I got to thinking...

What I love about this is that I would not for one second have thought that this was taken in the middle of England in 2010. It has kind of ageless feel about it - but, to me, that in itself captures the heart of Worcester.

And looks rather more Bavarian, or Italian perhaps, certainly not English. But who's to say what is 'English' nowadays? And is that not one of the things that makes it such great place? I like to think so...
