Denmark Road Junction, Manchester City Centre

30 September 2019 · Manchester

Denmark Road junction in Manchester city centre, on an overcast autumn day. A lone bicycle locked to a cycle stand anchors the foreground, surrounded by fallen leaves and double yellow lines. Behind it, a Cézanne at the Whitworth exhibition banner stretches along the park railings — the Victorian red-brick buildings of the university quarter rising beyond. The 20mph sign and street furniture do the everyday work of the city; the gallery poster reminds you what else is going on a few streets away.
