...today I was in Manchester City centre photographing some of the amazing new buildings that have been part of the regeneration of the centre since the IRA bomb exploded in this part of the city in 1996. The Urbis is at the centre of this new part of the city. The building is an exhibition centre featuring interactive exhibits and dynamic changing exhibitions.

From this angle this building reminds me of a book! Maybe that was the intent?? Excellent & amazing variety of architecture in your area Patti! A good mix of both old & new! ~Dan'l

I agree that it does look like a book. I also like the reflections in the sides of the "book". Very good Patti.

Super looking building and a very nice shot of it. I didn't know that Manchester was bombed in 1996...who did it? The Japanese?

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

Touring the world one picture at a time.
Beautifully composed urban image, Patti! The gradient blues used for framing are an excellent choice. As a rule, a centered image is a no-no, but I really like the way it works here with the building fanning out from either side. Well done!

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
What amazing architecture, Patti. You captured it brilliantly. It's so ultra-modern which is such a contrast to the building in back to the right there. I hope the new doesn't end up squeezing out the old. - Patty

It's all about perspective and perception.
Dynamic picture ... fitting for a building which represents the spirit of rebirth after a terrible, destructive event.

"Art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass." Walter Pater
Great angle. Love that perspective.. The color of that structure is appealing also. Very nice capture and good eye.

Suicide is man's way of tell God "YOU CAN'T FIRE ME I QUIT."
Now this is a beautiful building Patti. The architecture is just amazing on this. Good to see that beauty has come out of this tradgedy. Nicely captured.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares
This is perfect capture of this unique building Patti...and nicely framed...gerry..
