ABC Wednesday: F is for fire escape


I am always impressed by the variety and colours of the fire escapes on some older buildings around Manchester city centre - they are works of art in their own right in my view.  A suitable "F" for today's link to ABC Wednesday .

  5. I too love fire escapes, particularly the spiral ones you sometimes see on old buildings. I've never been able to get a photo that does them justice.

  7. Have always thought of them as an interesting concept. Never seen them used, but I'm sure they have saved lives.

  8. Most of them tend to be eyesores, but this one is an exception, and well captured at that!

  9. Very nice for the letter F. I like to photograph these too! Let's hope we never need to use one though!

  10. I love to see where everyone choses to go with these letter prompts: Fire escape is a good one, and your photo is a great angle....

  11. Really like the way you composed and captured this - fire escapes will always be (after years in big cities, esp. New York) a place of escape above the hordes (although I suppose it's slightly illegal :)...
