An amazing photograph has emerged showing how Birmingham's skyline is now looking with the development of New St Station almost complete.

The image's "deep zoom" format offers the chance to see new sides to famous landmarks, locate favourite spots and hunt for more unusual city sights.

Taken from the top of the famous Rotunda building, the image is composed of 33 different shots which took the photographer a day and a half to stitch together, and captures the city's transformation, taking in key city landmarks from Edgbaston Stadium, via the new Library of Birmingham, right across to One and Two Snow Hill.
