The Beetham Tower (A.K.A. The Hilton Tower as it contains the Hilton hotel) is a mixed-use skyscraper in Manchester, England. Completed in 2006, it is named after its developers, the Beetham Organisation and was designed by Ian Simpson. At a height of 551 feet (168 m) it is the tallest skyscraper in Manchester and the tallest building in the UK outside London. Upon opening in 2006 it was the tallest residential building in the United Kingdom and second-tallest in Europe. It is one of the thinnest skyscrapers in the world with a height to width ratio of 12:1 on the east-west facade. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetham_Tower,_Manchester Camera: Nikon D300s Lens: Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8 Processed with Nikon Capture NX2

Brierfield town centre at night, photographed with the camera's white-balance set to "daylight" in order to bring out the colours of the different types of artificial lighting in the scene. This often results in some unexpected effects....for example, the green structure on the left (a war memorial) is actually illuminated by lights which, to the human eye, appear almost colourless. The Christmas tree and the street lights are the same as they appear to the naked eye whilst the shop lights on the far right have a yellowish appearance, although they are actually green & white. Photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

The flooding of the River Ouse in York, England, which happens most years in late Winter / early Spring, usually around February. The white Tudor-style building with the sloping roof is a pub called "The King's Arms", better known as "The pub that floods". These two photographs were taken from the same viewpoint (Ouse bridge) in different years, both in February, with one of my first low-resolution digital cameras and joined together with Nikon Capture NX2 software.

The Tyne Bridge (with the arch) and some of the many other bridges on the river Tyne in Newcastle, North-East England. Photographed (appropriately) with an Olympus SP550UZ "bridge" camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.
