Manchester
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 5 October 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
Photo of the new Beetham Tower with the Bridgewater Canal in the foreground.
Following on from Monday's shot I'm posting some photos over the next few days of the area of Manchester (UK) where the railway bridges at the edge of the city centre cross the 18th century Bridgewater Canal.
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to MY NEW WEBSITE where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.

Absolutely great choice to do it in B&W it help to show the beauty of the architecture.

I like all the curves and arches in this shot! That tall building in the background is kinda weird looking with the one side going up. I don't remember even seeing this building while i was there. But i was only in Manchester for a Day. I stayed mostly in Central London where i attended Birkbeck University.

Lovely image--a really good monochrome study. I agree with Rabbit--the building is striking, but seems somehow incongruent with the surroundings.

Love this one as well! It really is a mix of ancient and modern! The b and w is lovely for these images in Manchester. Wish I could visit home soon - so many old places I want to photograph! ;-)
