Thursday 30th April 2015, 4.10pm (day 1,344)
I was sat in the same room, a single meeting, for 7 hours today (bar toilet breaks) so you were lucky that a scene on the way back to the station distracted me.

Outside the NFM
Tuesday 21st April 2015, 8.50am (day 1,335)
As I try to keep cranking up the creativity levels on days that otherwise mundane and work-filled, it helps if a) the light is right (continued glorious weather throughout the UK) and b) someone walks across the shot at just the right moment.
(Note also how the Co-operative Group have subliminally got their branding into the picture.)
Ferris Wheel, outside University Place
Monday 20th April 2015, 4.45pm (day 1,334)
Portions of the University of Manchester campus were today turned into a temporary fairground (some might say the whole place is permanently like that, in spirit), in support, apparently, of the campaign to get students to register to vote. This Ferris wheel sat outside the University Place building all day, looking like some kid had built it from a Meccano set — you wouldn’t have got me on it. But then again this is true of all Ferris wheels. I’ll take pictures of them, not from them.
Mac hospital
Monday 13th April 2015, 11.15am (day 1,327)
Rather dull and corporate I know, but it epitomised my day. Still, the Mac is fixed again after only a short time out, and for free, so thank you Apple.
Arise…
Monday 16th March 2015, 2.10pm (day 1,299)
Question is, am I being addressed by this sign? Or is it a warning? Either way, at least this is the last week of term.
Tram stop
Friday 13th March 2015, 1.10pm (day 1,296)
So what’s in the carrying case? Inquiring minds want to know.
Accordianist
Wednesday 4th March 2015, 3.35pm (day 1,287)
There he was, playing the theme from The Godfather. And happy with it. I make this only the second busker to appear on the blog.
Perhaps I could have got a photo to mark Joe’s birthday, 12 years old today. Never mind, let’s mark it anyway.
Tram at St Peter’s Square
Tuesday 24th February 2015, 9.00am (day 1,279)
No commentary today… I just like the composition, the colours, lines and shapes, and that I got it nice and sharp.
Outside the National Football Museum
Monday 23rd February 2015, 1.30pm (day 1,278)
The day of the museum field trip, heralded by my recce a few days ago. Rather than repeating a shot from inside here’s a relatively abstract view of the exterior, reflecting the clouds of a stormy day.
Aquatics Centre car park
Monday 16th February 2015, 3.45pm (day 1,271)
A scene on the campus, often passed, never before photographed. Well, not by me anyway.
