This is the view across the Salford Quays from The Lowry where the Graduation was held to the new Media City housing the BBC studios where Breakfast is now broadcast from.
It is a massive complex & has cost many millions of pounds to set up both in the buildings & re-locating much of the staff from London.
Harry & I always watch in the mornings & I must say most of the guests seem to be by video link which doesn't make sense to me.
The Mayor of Salford spoke at the ceremony saying they were disappointed in the lack of jobs it has generated for local people & they are hoping to change this...so not as good for the North West as was hoped!
Best viewed large as the detail is lost a bit without colour.
An interesting shot. It looks good in b&w. It is a long time since I visited Salford. Many changes
I agree with you about morning tv. I get so annoyed when the presenters have to keep turning round to view the screen.
A perfect pov for b&w, Ann. I love the tones and the buildings here. Lovely lines and the lighting is wonderful. Great capture. Hopefully more jobs will come out of this in time. Oh ... and definitely beautiful viewed enlarged!! Way to go. :)
Very interesting but they seem to have gone for seventies architecture! Richard and Judy never resorted to video link - make 'em travel I say!! The good news is that now when they are moaning about the weather on the radio it isn't all about London. And they will hopefully become generally less London-centric with time.
What on earth has happened to architecture today.........this is just so dull, I love the Lowry centre, my daughtrer also graduated in Manchester so some graet places there...shame ..love the b&w gritty!!
Love how the lines of the buildings are accentuated by the use of b&w. Hope the job outlook is a bit brighter for Catherine than the mayor was pointing out about the BBC.
@peggysirk Jod outlook not so good in the NHS where she would like to work...more varied & interesting as she loves nail surgery but for now sticking withe old part time job & gradually picking up some part time in podiatry.
