Molineux as you've never seen it before

To devoted fans of Wolves, the Molineux is their whole world – although this could probably be going a bit far.

But the image is actually one of a collection of incredible works of art by Wolverhampton photographer Paul Richards.

The 44-year-old has turned landmarks around Wolverhampton into little planets using a combination of the right photographic software and his own keen eye.

A collection of pictures including churches such as St John's and St Peter's, the art gallery, West Park and the statue of Lady Wulfrun have all had the treatment.

Former Goodyear worker Mr Richards creates 360-degree 'virtual tours' of businesses to go on Google's Street View and has also been creating miniature planets by stitching together images.

Mr Richards, who was born and bred in Wolverhampton, turned his passion for photography into a career after being made redundant from Goodyear in 2011.

He says he loves creating little planets of Wolverhampton's well known sights and landmarks.

"Each planet is 12 images stitched together using special software," he said.
