I was in Leicester for a couple of days as external examiner for a teacher training course ...
The weather was fabulous and the person who showed me round was a geographer ... it was very interesting to be shown around by someone who uses a gaze for Cities that is different to mine.
She taught me I should always be looking up to see the history of buildings ...
I saw Top Hat Terrace is embellished with designs; a representation of the disguises used by Leicesters first Private Detective ...
Interesting multiple identities, which actually all look the same to me really ..
My hotel was in a sumptuous location and I took these photos just yards away from where I was staying ...
And left to my own devices, when I looked upwards at the buildings I saw this other kind of identity marker ...

Fascinating images - I love the rooves and facades of buildings too. Did you enjoy doing the examining?
I really enjoyed it yes thanks ... the schools were lovely, the tutors were great and the students really working hard. It was really nicelooking at another course, I liked it a lot.
