Beams




The Royal Exchange theatre in Manchester. During a matinee performance on a sunny day; lots of stage smoke filling the hall, and sun beaming in through the domes.

Winter Hill, 6am




I can never sleep properly in Wez' attic room. Awake at 6am, took some pictures out of the skylight.

Rainbow



In Manchester, around the place, are these rainbow mosaics. Something to with marking sights of significant or historical events in gay culture. This one was down by the canal. Goodness only knows what saucy capers went on down there to warrant one.

Tall Things





P, L, A and me walking back after the Elbow thing.

Elbow on the Big Telly





Couldn't get tickets for Elbow at the Bridgwater Hall, so watched them on the massive screen at Castlefield. Booze, food, great company, perfect weather. Perfect evening.

Haze



Hazel doesn't really look like this.

Purple Haze



This graffiti has been on this shutter in the Northern Quarter for as long as I can remember. As Manc memorabilia, it's probably worth summat now.

[Edit - Oh, it's gone now. I didn't hear anything about it being auctioned at Sotheby's or anything. Maybe it was just me that had the affection.]

I know I can't take credit for this photo; it was in a foto-booth thing in a club in Manchester. Hi G, I hope you're well. X

Sucking out the juice like a carton Um Bongo. Nice



I watched this spider catch this fly, then suck all it's juice out. It was ace. I really like spiders.
