Winter Dawn
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 1 December 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
A photo from the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal just before dawn in the mist and rain that is so common in the city at this time of year.

You have captured the gloomy atmosphere perfectly. I can literally feel the cold and wetness.
The reflections at the ground and the glow of the street lights are awesome. Stunning photo.
