SP0990 : Canal, river and motorway

taken 4 years ago, near to Gravelly Hill, Birmingham, England

Canal, river and motorway
Canal, river and motorway
There is a lot crammed into a small area here with three canals coming together, the River Tame flowing through below the canals and Spaghetti Junction sitting above. In this view I am looking across the Birmingham & Warwick Junction Canal (part of the Grand Union) as it crosses the River Tame on an aqueduct. I am also looking along the columns supporting the M6. The Birmingham area produces some spectacular juxtapositions.
