Gateway House, Manchester PiccadillyPosted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 20 March 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio. This is another photo taken in the Piccadilly area of Manchester. I've often admired the elegant curves of this 1960s office building which is next to Piccadilly railway station. Many poorly designed buildings were erected in the UK in 1960s but I think that this one, designed by Richard Seifert & Partners, has a grandeur and beauty that is timeless. Thousands of commuters walk past this building every day....I wonder how many of them take a second to look up. .
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. Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.

Something isn't working for me, though I do like the drama and initial impact. I can only think it is the other building to the bottom corner - and I do like Torsten's suggestion for an ND. 22 Mar 2009 8:00am bluechameleon from Vancouver, CanadaI just love your vantage point in this shot. The curve of the architecture and the way the light follows along is beautiful. 26 Mar 2009 5:00am |
