Photo shows a wooden sculpture. It is a tall tower with a spire at the top. The different sections of it represent different religions and the style is influenced by religious architecture.

Photo shows the park with Bradford City Hall to the left. The sky is blue and clear above it. The park has trees, grass areas, benches and a path through it.

Photo taken from a bench in the park. To the right in the background is St George's Hall.

Another screenshot of an Instagram post from Adam Rosenblum. It's a portrait of an older man of South Asian heritage with a white beard wearing a white skull cap and a hoodie under his City shirt. He's beaming the most beautiful smile. (I bloody love Bradford 😍)

I pinched these pictures from another place. Photos by Adam Rosenblum. I think they're beautiful 🥹

For those on #BlossomWatch in #Bradford, Bolling Hall Museum's cherry blossom trees are in full bloom. Perfectly timed for the Cherry Blossom Festival there this Sunday.
