A 25 minute walk from where I live is a lovely, old, Victorian era Canal basin. I made a couple of visits, first with a general zoom and then a couple of days later with my UWA lens:

Finally, my favourite from my first shoot there:

Now, you might just have noticed a certain not so old building that appears in a lot of these photos. It is the Beetham Tower, and it is Manchester's first and only (now, no laughing if you're from NYC or Chicago) sky scraper at 52 floors and it dominates the local skyline. The architecture seems to have put a lot of thought into how it reflects the light at different times of the day, which can make the photography interesting.

    I too like the shape of the sweeping bridge. The contrast between the old brick buildings and the skyscraper is very cool, too thumb.gif
