Colour Combinations

@anachromie: Thanks very much - the photo jumped from the wall straight into my camera!

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine - sometimes i actually have good days with the camera when things just seem to go right :-)
I felt this was one of them as I must have got half a dozen photos that I really liked.

@aggie: Thanks aggie - the building is fascinating inside with wonderful colours and shapes everwhere!

@Rabbit: Thanks Rabbit - yes you're right - the building has a great sense of fun about it in a grown up sort of way. Its a bit like one of those childrens fairy tales that have hidden depths of meaning and subtelty that also fascinate adults.

@renee mudd: Thanks Renee - I don't think we've bumped into each other before but I wanted to say how much I admired your AM3 blog. I left a note on your '15c' image from your portfolio page but forgot to ask - where does the 15c title come from?

@Nick: Thanks Nick - the building has a touch of carefully controlled chaos about it which is very photogenic!

@Steve: Thanks Steve - I can only imagine the agonising that went on in the architects office before settling on purple and orange as a colour combination!

@MaryB: Thanks mary - I'd been to this building several times before but in my pre-camera obsession days but I was surprised at how my appreciation of it altered looking at it with a camera in hand!

@aaxan: Thanks aaxan - the colour combination is'nt obvious but it works well in this context does'nt it!

@Anne: Thanks Anne! - Manchester has changed beyond all recognition over the last 10 years (since the bomb went off in 1996 I guess). The new buildings and public spaces are much better than the 1960's tat that they replaced - apparantley it has now overtaken Birmingham as the UK's second city. The place now has that cosmopolitain feel of a major Eurpean city.

@Bernard Bosmans: Thanks Bernard!
Ps - I tried following your pbase link but it wouldn't work.
