City Daily Photo Theme Day: Celebrating Summer
Celebrating Summer is the City Daily Photo Theme this month (easy for us in the northern hemisphere but less so for the many City Daily Photo bloggers in the southern hemisphere or tropics ;-> I'm intrigued to see how they'll deal with this...).
For me summer in Greater Manchester is all about walks in the countryside, family time and reading in the garden, long light evenings sitting outside bars, and taking summer holidays to destinations near and far. But midweek when I am in the city, like so many others, I cannot resist the urge to sit outside and make the most of the sunshine we do get.
This is a typical scene at The Lawns in Spinningfields. With so many bars to choose from, crowds gather here for after work drink and deckchair sessions. There is also the large outside screen which caters for many tastes, screening sporting events and classic films. Best of all, this July will see open-air Shakespeare take place here, with Macbeth and the Comedy of Errors.

ReplyDeleteOutdoor gathering like this are so much fun in the summer. Those sling chairs interest me. They are rather uncommon here at the moment. Most people seem to use folding metal chairs with colored canvas seats, like a folding version of those old director's chairs.
ReplyDeleteA modern version of UK 1950's stripey deck chairs Jack.
