Busy Week

I need to get into the habit of uploading my photos everyday...

The delightful M602 into Manchester, this was actually intended to show how you can see Manchester's Beetham Tower from miles away.. but marvellously I managed to obscure it with street lighting!

This is an example of back to back housing, quite common round these parts - people's yards are to the back of the houses and you overlook each other's property.

A general sunny shot taken on my way home from work, the clouds were rather uplifting.

Chomlea Stores opened up for a few months in the former premises of Global Video, they never seemed to have many customers (probably the cause of their closure), but then they didn't seem to have long opening hours - some days (especially during school holidays) they wouldn't be open by 8.30am so they missed the people pass on the way to work, and would be closed again before 5pm! In this cut throat market of local shops, you have to be open long hours especially when you're not selling the staple items of tobacco & alcohol.

Moore's House is an newly built retirement development for people from the retail industry. It sounds really nice from the website description.

    That damn hilton is so dominant on the skyline from so many directions it is hard not to focus on it - in that third photo you could point out for foreign readers that those concrete bollards are designed to prevent people from parking on the pavement - I think the americans use fire hydrants for the same purpose.
    PS - try using blogger's "scheduled posting" to post ahead.
