Piccadilly Gardens at Dusk, Manchester

6 October 2019 · Manchester

Piccadilly Gardens at blue hour, with the illuminated fountain catching the last of the evening light. Victorian commercial facades line the far edge of the square — ornate stonework holding its ground against the modern blocks behind. People scattered across the grass and gathered around the fountain; the square doing what it was built to do. The pale sky above still carries the faintest pink from sunset, wide open over the city.
