....and that is exactly what the sign says at the far end. This is part of the regeneration of old factories and buildings along the Bridgewater canal and surrounding waterways in Manchester city centre. The building you see is a youth hostel, known as Potato Wharf - it is completely surrounded by water and accessible only by bridges. Photograph taken from Castlefield looking under one of the old railway bridges.

Wonderful clarity in your shot. I also like the refections in the water (I almost said glass!).

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life.
Reflection is so clear, that if you came home with too much of what they get from potatoes in you, you might end up on top floor of reflection and go to bottom floor in a hurry getting "soaked" along the way. I think that's the longest sentence I've every typed, without taking a breath. Just a lovely photo Patti. Two for the price of one.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
Oh I loves Manchester and me beloved Manchester United. Give Wayne Rooney a hug for me lass. Very nice picture and super reflections.

You were quick off the mark!! Well as I'm going to enter I should probably be severely critical of this one. But how could I? I love your canal shots with the vibrant red bricks and graceful arches. I can see the pototato sign but zoomed in and can't find anything about attitude. Are you sure it's not tattooed behind your eyeballs and you just thought it was projected on the wall LOL!!!
Great shot Fogz, you have such an unmistakeable style.

That old railway bridge creates more tension in your image Patti. Love the reflection in the water as well. Photo-technically a perfect image! Regards, Cornelius

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

I like those red bricks on that house and thanks to the good reflection I am able to see it twice.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
I like it that it's only accessible by bridges. It's a fantastic composition with outstanding clarity. Wonderful Patti, and good luck in the contest! :)
