]]> One of the new buildings just outside the city centre in Manchester. On a dull day so careful cropping of sky and slanting of the camera led me to this more or less abstract. There's supposed to be a black marble sunken swimming pool on the top of this building .....

]]> I find this building quite absorbing! Although it's not yet in use, the lights are all on during the night and make for some fascinating shades, shapes and textures.

]]> After a short intermission, here's another one to keep the blog ticking over. Taken underneath the new metro interchange with all the lights on.

]]> Here courtesy of my new 10-22mm zoom is a roof I've been trying to capture in B&W. I'm trying to decide whether the colour adds anything to it - the jury's out on that one....

]]> The War Museum looking suitably grim under the usual Manchester skies.

]]> Another in that new development in Manchester's Spinningfields quarter. I couldn't resist the colours in the sunshine and the crooked reflections in the old office block.

]]> Lots of the new developments in manchester are following the latest trend and adding wood panels to the cladding on the external walls. While it looks pretty cool just now, I can't be only person wondering what's going to happen to is over time. Sure, it'll wear in but won't it all need treating with some preservative? But for now, it looks great!

]]> Blackfriars in Manchester has some great old office buildings, including these. They had some idea of style in those days, even for back street offices like these. Just check our what's in the reflections - which building would you prefer to work in?

]]> Department of Pensions in Manchester. This purple is for real! But it is the most extreme anti sunlight screening I''ve seen here. The building itself is ugly with a capital UG, but these colours are great!
