WME Flickr Focus - February 2020

Calculators out folks, it's time for your monthly maths lesson courtesy of the WME Flickr photostream. Don't worry, we're not talking algebra, trigonometry or calculus here, just a few straightforward sums and a tallying up of running totals...

The general pattern established over recent years is for there to be on average 30 new additions (give or take) each month. That rule was certainly borne out in February thanks to 32 arrivals, although you might not expect WME Warwickshire to be heading the update charts. It does so after the collective input of Kenilworth (the Lion pub and a 'Walter Scott was here' plaque), Leamington (the Somerville Arms plus the New Inn) and Long Itchington (two similar sightings of the Buck & Bell). 

Crunching the numbers, we can also see reasonable accumulation from WME Dudley and WME Staffordshire. Dudley drops Kingswinford - specifically the British Oak - into the equation while Staffordshire does likewise with Horninglow and Lower Penn (the former through mileage markers and fishing permits, the latter through canine street art). Not to be outdone, WME Telford samples St Leonard's Church in Malinslee whereas WME Coventry tries to figure out the square root of Lentons Lane.

Arithmetically speaking, WME Wolverhampton usually accounts for a higher proportion of my published pictures. It has maintained this ratio by summoning forth snapshots of the Harp at Horseley Fields, the Yew Tree at Merridale and a meeting hall peek inside Long Knowle Community Centre. The Mander Centre meanwhile supplies some multiplication of its own with a sequence of artistic angles showcasing one of the mall's murals.

Finally from February, those cumulative totals I promised: Wolverhampton (777 photos), Walsall (314), Birmingham (537), Dudley (397), Sandwell (290), Coventry (116), Solihull (130), Staffordshire (491), Worcestershire (176), Telford & Wrekin (151), Warwickshire (132), Shropshire (168) and everywhere else (Exploration Extra at 619). All of which mounts up to the not insignificant number of 4,298 with hopefully many more to come, starting in March...
