Some more from my wanderings around Manchester, Not my usual style, and fun to do something new :) Don't worry nature fans, i'll be back to more naturey stuff soon :D
These are in the financial district of Spinningfields.
The lens I'm using now is the spectacular Zeiss Loxia 21mm 2,8 :) My new baby.
I've ditched all my big zooms and travelling light with 3 tiny primes. So happy with this lens.
This will probably be my last urban shot for a while, I think I've got it out of my system whatever it was I was looking to do :D
Been a nice change, and there's something very cool about the angles and sharp lines of modern architecture against soft skies, I will be back.... but I think my heart is in getting my feet wet in waterfalls or trying to capture the morning mist :)
Looking forward to the autumn and winter now, although I love summer, for photography it's hard to capture anything interesting :) Bring me back my misty mornings and frosty ground :)

This shot shows three aspects of Manchester architecture. On the right, the beautiful 1860's Italianate details are mostly intact. In the center, the Comerica Bank building shows the 1960's "urban renewal" eliminating many of these details. In the background, the Manchester Mill represents a functional, working building that replaced it's Italianate predecessor after a 1924 fire.
