The whole thing about Manchester nowadays is that it has changed, stop for five seconds and something that you used to know has gone and has been re-build in glass. This picture was taken of what I think is the CIS building, from a car park that I didn't know existed which is part of a bus station that I didn't know existed. I sort of felt the shot looked right, but now looking back it at, I could have made sure that the fastening for the window wasn't in shot.

Manchester has got a pretty good set of buildings and I don't think we are afraid of showing them... wither that or I'm starting to look upward. This strange dome on the top of a building is quite intriguing, but it's just opposite the Manchester wheel near the Triangle.

Here's Cross Street and the scene that in 1996 was obliterated by a bomb, supposedly the biggest bomb detonated on mainland Britain so far. Nothing much has changed in some ways, the bridge is still there, and the road still runs the same way. Of course the changes are that for I don't know how many years it was a building site and the other difference is that traffic is unable to drive down Cross Street as it did before. Apart from that and the fact that a nice little cafe use to be on the left (that disappeared before the bomb) I think it looks very much the same, just more glass, which is sort of ironic I think.

Same busyness as usual, just this time I have a visit to the centre of Manchester where I made time. Stupidly cold, so I had to pop in and out of shops to keep warm, but time for myself, which is ever precious. This is a picture of the fountains in Piccadilly gardens. However the gardens in Piccadilly have gone so I'm not sure what you call it now.
I did notice today that Manchester has got a pretty good skyline/view as far as buildings are concerned. I sort of knew this already because I did a tour of Manchester some years ago from a tourist leaflet, sounds tacky but there were some things that I never knew about Manchester that I do now.

Ah another busy fortnight, so archive pictures again I am afraid to say because of so much work, work, work. Just a good job my name isn't Jack.
This is a the Disney Towers from early last year, seems so long ago now, but still a holiday to remember... for all the right reasons. This is actually a still from a video, yes that's how low my archive footage of stills has become. Oh of course I could start scanning in photos from earlier holidays but that would take a little time, maybe next time.
