Moonlight over Manchester

My urban view of Manchester doesn’t fail to enthrall. The soaring grace of Beetham Tower, the twinkly lights of canalside Castlefield and the trams passing overhead. One night recently there was a spectacular bonus – a large moon against a slightly clouded sky, rising into the sky and passing behind the city’s tallest building on its travels. Time for a spot of howlingly enjoyable long exposure photography…

  Thanks Richard, I noticed this by chance and took swift action. Surely it can’t happen very frequently?

Wow! Love that Beetham Tower and the moon makes it look twice as good. Lunar Flare is my fav. of this group of shots.

  Oh thank you Lee – and Season’s Greetings! Yes, it was highly fortuitous to see the Moon as it tracked right behind the skyscraper. That was me on the balcony for quite some time :)
