This month's City Daily Photo theme day is triangles. Here we have an architectural trio of triangles on the top floor of the Cornerhouse. The building was originally built in 1900 for John Shaw and for 85 years it housed Shaw's Furniture Store. Since 1985 it has been a major Manchester cultural hub with galleries and arthouse cinema. I wonder what will move in when Cornerhouse relocates to purpose-built Home, next year?
If you are a blogger who's struggled with this month's theme, then mea culpa...to an extent. European bloggers were asked to nominate some theme ideas for April so I put it to the family around the dinner table. I chose revolution, Susie chose friends and Holly came out with some random suggestions which included triangles.
I immediately envisaged triangular road signs, architecture, parts of town and country where triangles and triangular patterns might exist, along with more artistic interpretations. Triangles was then chosen by the CDP panel, and here we are. I can't wait to see the other entries...
It's strange how little people look up. But, if they did, how much more would they see!
ReplyDeleteWe will all be seeing triangles everywhere from now on!

ReplyDeleteThis month's theme definitely encouraged a diversity of images. So thanks for suggesting it.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing this sort of architecture.
ReplyDeleteI thought you might have gone with the Triangle shopping centre formerly the Corn Exchange next to the triangular shaped Urbis building. I was going to go with a "grass triangle" but in the end found an alternative but my Stockport one was out of the blue as I googled "triangle Stockport" and discovered a church which was easy to locate and photograph but impossible to find any information about.
