Royal Exchange Theatre...

Had the pleasure of photographing the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester yesterday.
Such a visually rich building, beautiful colours and contrasting construction techniques.

It's certainly a building I could spend hours photographing.

I hope to go back in the new year and maybe see about getting some unrestricted access for some unseen captures.

Here's a link to the images - http://www.flickr.com/photos/phil_connor/sets/72157622893423684/

I love summers, amongst all other things because I find it lovely to sit and watch the waves crash against the shore, the salty sea breeze against your face and the sun sparkling on the ocean...

I couldn't help taking this shot whilst walking through the village of Montgomery, these two ladies were oblivious to me which really makes this image for me.

When in transit in Istanbul airport I can never resist an ice cold Efes with an adana kebab.
