ND – Cold, Sunny, Blue
I previously posted…
…an image of Manchester’s Beetham Tower which is a truly striking building given its sharp strong lines, unbalanced stance and singularly “Remote” location with its exclusively low-rise surroundings.
In my humble opinion it’s a much better architectural accomplishment than its sister tower in Birmingham which I watched being built.

It’s difficult to understand…
…from simple photos how this slender and unbalanced looking structure has transformed the area with its singularly vertical stance, sharp lines and vivid colour, with nothing tall close by to compete with it.
Beetham Tower Manchester, Top BlueNikon D700 'FX', Nikkor 70-300mm F4.5-5.6G AF-S VR @ 185mm, Exposure 1/640 @ F8, ISO 200, Faster shutter to prevent the zoom magnifying my wobbling hand. I really like the detail of the little white staircase you can see.
I’m guessing the penthouse view is not too bad…
Have fun,
