Manchester’s tall boy

This slender chisel of a skyscraper dominates the Manchester skyline. It’s the city’s tallest building, a relative newcomer to the scene. The Beetham Tower is a constant reference point in my new home, perfectly framed in the living room window, steely during the day and twinkling with lights after dark. The temptation to photograph this architectural creation from a hundred angles is hard to resist…

  Thanks Richard, it is quite a humdinger. And sometimes hums in very high winds!

How sad it is…, a tall building in an environment of small buildings. There’s nobody and nothing to protect it against storms and rain. Poor Beetham…

  He has me to look after him now :) I see him all the time from the window. The next thing is to climb up him.
