Manchester's PicturesPages
Atrium Car Park (Nisis DV5)
Walked around the inside of the Town Hall in Manchester today. Looks very impressive. I have been there once before by that was for a medical, so I don't think that counts. Whilst it's of poor quality, here's a sort of atrium within the Town Hall. Taken with the DV5, it's not the camera just a mix of bad light, and poor photographer.

Manchester Dome (Nisis DV5)
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.

Cross Street (Sony Ericsson K700i)
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.

Lomo Debut (Sony Ericsson K700i)
Here's a mural depicting the Romans, taken with this camera, the Rollei and the newly bought Lomo copy with a 170 degree fisheye lens, so as you can imagine (all those who know what I'm talking about) I got quite close with the Lomo before I snapped. One problem I only realised later is that the Lomo really takes better pics with 400ASA and all I have is 100, and since it's fixed focus, aperture and shutter speed I could have a very dim set of prints. Ah well I shall call it a test reel.

Roman Fort (Sony Ericsson K700i)
This is the Roman fort in Manchester to the right of the huge tower, well not directly, but if I turned left now then you'd see the new tower in Manchester. Can't tell you much about this as my Wife and Daughter were off and I had yet to take a picture of the mural depicting the Romans.

Manchester Tower 2 (Sony Ericsson K700i)
Back to the great tower that is being built in Manchester. I have forgotten what the tower is called (I did look it up), but it's going to hose a Hilton Hotel among other things. As I have mentioned before further away it looks bigger and this time I am a little further being at the remaining Roman walls in Manchester.

Manchester Tower (Sony Ericsson K700i)
Finally I got the chance to take a picture of the largest tower in Manchester. There's supposed to be shopping, apartments and offices. It doesn't really look that impressive from here and as I mentioned before looks taller the further awy from it you get which is quite strange.

The Eye at Night (Nisis DV5)
On the way back from the European Markets, here's the picture of the wheel in Manchester again, but this time with all it's lights on. Unfortunately other pictures I took here came out all blured.

On The Up (Nisis DV5)
Still at the wheel waiting for my wife and daughter to come off it. I think it's a pity that it's a bit blury at the right hand side, it looked like the reflection would have been nice.

Manchester Aye (Nisis DV5)
This is the large wheel that has been up for at least two Christmases. This is a picture on the way to the European Markets. I didn't go on but my wife and daughter did. Thye enjoyed it. Perhaps I'llhave a go next time.
