Beetham Tower at Dusk, Manchester Deansgate

8 October 2019 · Manchester

Deansgate at the end of the day, with Beetham Tower cutting into a backlit cloud mass above the roofline. Victorian red brick on the right, contemporary glass and steel on the left — the street holds a century and a half of Manchester building in a single frame. Construction cranes in the middle distance signal another layer still being added. The light does the rest.
