First light at the Quays
Salford Quays
I’ve visited Salford Quays on many occasions but never this early. The weather has been inconsistent to say the least the over the last few days... glorious sunrise Thursday, continual snow Friday morning, but the forecast was optimistic for this morning. Inspired by the recent New Brighton images of Mark Waidson, Mrs R and I headed to the Quays for a new adventure!
First point to note: there are no car parks open at this time and many of the residential car parks are CCTV monitored with security staff as we found out! However, we found a sneaky place to park but won’t mention where as I’ll probably use it again.
Second point to note: check what’s happening at the BBC... Alan Shearer and Robbie Savage playing 5-a-side football for Sport Relief on the square outside BBC MediaCity at 5:30am!
Luckily, I had already planned the shot I was after and headed towards MediaCity Bridge where this image is taken from. Partial to an early morning run, Mrs R left me and disappeared into the distance... I suspect she really went to play 5-a-side!
