Another night in Manchester – at this rate I’ll start to know my way around and half the fun of wandering aimlessly around a huge city centre will be gone. At the Ibis in Portland Street again to night, waiting for my pizza to arrive. OOOH! Luxury!
Went for a stroll in the surrounds and found this shot next the Bridgewater Hall. In my book it’s this kind of contrast that makes cities so interesting for photography.
In Manchester today – mainly to move Rhiannon from her student halls to a shared house in a leafy suburb, but also to see/hear The Halle at the Bridgewater Hall. First night of the Halle Proms apparently so nice accessible programme – Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Rachmaninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto, Karelia Suite, Peer Gynt 1 and William Tell. Rousing stuff and great fun was had by all.
Sadly, but unsurprisingly no photos in the Hall so I settled for this shot of one of the dozens of magnificent buildings that make up Manchester city centre. This one is opposite the Ibis Hotel on Portland St and was shot from our second floor window.
