The Manchester Diaries: Episode 2. On my way to the Northern Quarter

Took my time to make my own drawing of the Town Hall :P

Portland St ? (sorry, can't seem to remember)

Last Saturday I went out in the morning and spent at least seven hours wandering around the city. 

Its colours, textures and structures seem so gorgeous to me...I find a contemporary artwork wherever I look at. Here you have some of the pics I captured in my way to the city centre (this time I took an alternative route). My aim was to arrive to a photograph exhibition at Lever St. I never arrived, though. I mean, I arrived to the street, but got unavoidably stuck in the Northern Quarter. 

However, you'd have to wait a little more for those pics... ;)

The Manchester Diaries: This Stunning Architectural Blend

I'm completely astonished by the textures and colours of Manchester. Kind of a blend of rough red brick and light blue cristal. I'm utterly grateful for the opportunity I have been given to experience the city under the sun, despite the intense cold weather, so I'm trying to make the best of it and catch the most of what I'm seeing. Feel like I could spend ages wandering around these streets which, indeed, are full of a weird poetry. Seems they were derelict land despite of being full of people.
