A Salford Quays view

Here in Manchester we have our equivalent of Amsterdam. A view from one of the many bridges across the old waterways of the old Manchester docks now know as the Salford Quays. For many years a dilapidated eyesore now a desirable place to live and wander. Well done Manchester and its neighbour Salford.

See PiP for the whole colour view from this bridge.

I like the partial desaturation, it helps to lead the eye along the canal. A good thing cities are revitalizing their dockside areas!

Excellent................I really like the (near) symmetry in this image. The use of selective colour works very well too. Nice job Herb.

Hi Herb, nice presentation here.

I have a book full of photos of the original Manchester docks and ship canal, not forgetting the Bridgewater canal which fed from the docks..
There is also a whole network of subterranian canals under Manchester if you want to research them!

Best wishes, and Happy Easter!

Another good example of selective colour. The architecture is of the Art Deco style, a good choice for the area.
Nice work Herb.
