....an area of old Manchester evolving. Once a derelict and abandoned no-go area, over the last twenty years it has been developed into a waterside district of offices, apartments, galleries and of course there are plenty of bars! ;) lol! At this point the Rochdale Canal meet the Bridgewater Canal. Aidan O'Rourke, a very talented local photographer, has captured the regeneration amazingly well. The photograph was taken yesterday afternoon - notice the X's in the sky again! - I know I am supposed to be resting but it was just a short walk - and I sat down every 20 minutes (for 1 minute) lol!

Aah, I like this frame in the frame. Good idea. Looks really a bit like Venice, a very modern version of Venice. I hope your leg is doing better soon.
