Default Birmingham uk night market shots

Hi all fellow dps'ers
Well tonight I managed to dodge the rain for a couple of hours to get to Birmingham city centre where they have a Christmas Market, travelled over from Frankfert Germany.
These are a couple for now, I will be following up over the next few days with some illuminated city street shots.

Birmingham uk, Frankfert xmas market.

 Brindley Place canal Birmingham.

Thanks for looking, & comments more than welcome. Both look better bigger on Flickr.

Cheers
Glyn

very cool Gyn , all the lights in both shots fill the scene and seem to have a rhythm and harmony that very pleasing to the eye. Night shots are not easy shoot without the lights flaring and distracting... good job !
