Salford postcards

The new city, new life theme continues. Salford Quays – my home for now – is bristling with photographic riches. There is high-rise architecture that has sprung up in the last decade or so, waterways that have been here a lot longer, and the blazing yellow of the Metrolink trams that connect this area with the rest of Manchester. And just recently, a series of blistering sunsets. Enjoy these postcards…

  Thank you very much, Andy. Plenty to shoot in just this one corner of Manchester.

Wow! What a great set of photos. Not the part of Manchester I saw on a brief stopover 10 years ago. You make me want to get back there.

  Thank you very much, Bunty, and glad to inspire a return trip. This is one of the newest, zingiest parts of the city, although in a much older setting.
