I was walking down Whitworth Street West on Tuesday evening. If you can feel happy on a damp and bleak January night like this (as I did) then perhaps you are one of life’s optimists.
The white light of the Cornerhouse Arts Complex reflects on the street here, and the buzz of other Whitworth Street West stalwarts and newer arrivals, such as The Ritz, Gorilla and Dog Bowl- Black Dog Ballroom all exuded their neon charms as I walked on by to meet with a friend at Dimitri’s on Deansgate. I tweaked the photo a little using Tuxpli’s photo to painting effect to enhance the watery, rain-soaked feel.
It's been near incessant rain for about two months in the UK now, with only a day or 2 a week dry. I've been fortunate to get out and about on such rare sunny days (photos to follow).
The reflections look great Chrissy. Sounds like a lot of rainny days.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot!!!
ReplyDeleteNice picture - rain in the night streets does make for great images - I was reading about how much flooding there has been in Somerset (where I'm am from) - it does not loom good.
