An august Spring afternoon


One of many hot afternoons in the city last week. A beautiful tree-lined Whitworth Street West, a slight heat haze, summer dresses and shirt sleeves, people knocking off work early to soak up sunshine and smoothies, San Miguel, Samuel Smiths and ciders outside canalside bars- it must be Manchester in midsummer spring...

That's "august" as in inspiring reverence or admiration, or of grandeur, and not as in the month... ;->

  3. I love Spring and the ealy summer, the flowers and also the birds. Quite a bit of snow where I am today, saw a decent snowman on the way over this moring.

  4. Sunny here today again, but not as warm as last week- Yesterday's surprise snow was up on Saddleworth and Snake Pass not in Manchester itself...
