- 4th March 2005 - Bang

Didn't realise the bad press I was going to get posting a shot of a 'just-tidied'
office!! Serious reputation damage done.... Ah well.

Easy PaD choice today. On the way back from North Manchester I passed Sport City.
This is a new facility next to the new Manchester City Ground - built for the
Commonwealth games. The main stadium has become the football ground but
the warm-up facility is now an athletics track/training facility.

At the entrance is the tallest sculpture in the UK.... The Bang.
This is it 'full height' so to speak...

Interesting new shop on the way home..

Neat looking structure. And your framing makes it even more so. Very spiky. :)

Nice perspective ... glad you added the thumbnail, though, cos I had no idea what it was!!! :)

Just last night I had to watch a movie in class about the big bang, but I suppose that is a bit different then this one :) I love this very arty looking picture. Nice.

Mm, certainly different and like Jude says, it looks dangerous. Nice composition.

The best type of fireworks...silent 'bang ' Low flying birds & children with balloons beware :>)
Guest 04-Mar-2005 17:45
Cool, I thought maybe you had a palm tree there in Chester :)
Guest 04-Mar-2005 17:14

Great capture.

I thought they were toothpicks, and was wondering how you did this. Neato.
Bill Miller04-Mar-2005 15:44
