Shoe crossing

Monday 13th October 2025, 10.00am (day 5,163)

Shoe crossing, 13/10/25

It may be yet another abandoned shoe (why is there only ever one, not two?) but dammit, it can still make its own way home. Of course, it isn’t really moving. But I guess the illusion is there.

Aquarium

Aquarium truck, 6/6/25

OK, it’s not really an aquarium. But it’s more interesting to look at than the side of most delivery trucks, which I’m sure is the point.

Exchange Theatre door

Monday 23rd October 2023, 9.45am (day 4,442)

Theatre door sleeper, 23/10/23

The guy’s still asleep, it seems. Quite a few of the doors of premises on Cross Street, if they haven’t been opened by this time in the morning, are occupied by rough sleepers most days.

Photographically this was one where I was planning for someone to walk past. The coffee cup’s usefully placed too.

A December Monday morning

Monday 2nd December 2013, 9.40am (day 830)

Monday morning, 2/12/13

Cross Street, Manchester. Some of us are on our way to work, past the guys opening up the Christmas market. I’ve talked myself into liking this shot even though it’s out of focus. It was how I felt this morning.

Cross Street, Manchester

Friday 28th September 2012, 4.10pm (day 400)

Cross Street woman, 28/9/12

Busy day at work to end a busy week, and a busy month. Sometimes you’ve just got to admit that the most photogenic thing you saw all day was the rear view of a pretty woman on the walk home to the station. One chance to snap it, taken. I nearly cropped this to just show her bottom half, which works quite well with the leaf, but her hair is too good to omit even if it untidies the composition a bit.
