Viva Las Beswick!

Everyone i’ve heard is busy talking about how the new Super Casino will affect Manchester, no doubt all the mancunian blogs are too. For me though it’s the building which is of interest.

It would be a fun structure for someone to design methinks!! I’m looking forward to it arriving…

I’m surprised no-one is using this image of the new building more, it shows the design a lot better… this from the BBC Manchester Website.

Salford Quays

Last tuesday was indeed a good day for photography around Salford Quays, not a cloud in the sky meant you could use the blue of the sky to its best effect. It was just a shame it was bitterly cold and rather windy or I would have explored a little more. I’ve got a feeling there are definitely some good photo’s to be had around there…
