Sky Hook

This sculpture can be seen in Trafford Park Manchester.
At the skyhook project, Landscape Projects worked with artist Brian Fell to develop a pair of 18m steel 'skyhooks' mounted on a disrupted landscape, which made a reference to the massive scale of engineering carried out in the industrial park, and the dockside context of the piece.

Old & New

Looking back from the the quayside art works "Silent Cargoes"
towards millennium bridge Salford.

Metro Mix

This picture was originally all colour,but i liked the reflections
of the colours in the pools of water by the tram lines.
I converted the image to black and white in ps,but left
the area adjacent to the tram line in colour.

Silent Cargoes

The following images are taken from `Trafford Park Whaf`
They portray the changing activities on the whaf over the
last 100 years.More can be seen on my flickr account.

Alan

In Manchester today,i stopped and had chat to Alan.
Thought i would photograph his hands. He wanted to
show me some photo`s he had taken but his phone
battery had other ideas.......

















The sign  inside the Royal Exchange Theater.
What a warm glow.I set a slow shutter speed
on my camera and zoomed my lens for this shot.

Water under the bridge

Taken in Dunham Massey whilst out for a walk.

Cycle Rack

I thought this cycle rack in Salford looked interesting, but instead 

of photographing from my normal eye view i got low down looking

up the cycle rack from ground level. The image was then solarize

in ps to add affect.

I used the same technique with this image as the one above,solarized in ps.

Asleep at the wheel

I was sitting outside in St Ann's Sq in Manchester just chilling, when this guy
came and sat next to me.I think he was slightly inebriated, but he was no bother.
I do find `people watching` interesting.

Walking back to my my car i came across this image in a back street, some socks, a pair of training shoes
and a bottle of cider......thought provoking !

Tangled Rope

Tangled rope on the rocks in Port Erin Isle Man,

Anglesey Sunset

Walking on the beach on Anglesey at sunset. I should of taken more pictures but
my battery was exhausted...doh

                    The Mill is a fascinating place to visit, with working machinery and lots
                    of "Hands on Exhibits"
