Manchester City Centre

As I got off the train in Manchester a couple weekends ago, I walked to Piccadilly Gardens to meet Hana to go stay at hers for the weekend. When I got there I got a call from her saying that she had walked to the train station to meet me, doh! So, as I waited for her to walk back to meet me, I went to take some snaps.

In the city centre they have recently just put up this wheel which has been across the country, and we actually went on it in York. It's like a mini London Eye as you have your own enclosed capsule, so it's pretty cool. Anyway, at night it is lit up and it looks awesome. 

Also there is a water feature at the bottom of it which now lights up! It's really eye-catching with lots of different colours and patterns etc. Kids seemed to love it too, running through the water trying to avoid being hit! Moving water usually gives some pretty good photos, and can make some really nice effects, however shooting water fountains is a whole different kettle of fish! With only a few seconds to actually pick the best point, focus the lens and take the photo, you really have to be on your toes ready to go!

So, here are the photos I took:

And the winner is....

Jess from This Analogue Adventure!

Find Beauty Friday

So I am writing this with a pretty severe hangover so excuse me if nothing makes sense! Last night I was out celebrating my 22nd birthday (even though that is actually on Monday) so I am a little worse for wear.

Anyway.....

Today I am co-hosting a blog link up! Yay! The blog is co hosted with my friend Aimee from Dear Harper who does these little link ups and I always do my best to enter them. The idea is to bring together people from different blogs to link up in the same place, allowing them to share their photos but to also get to see plenty of other blogs who do similar things to them. So post your link and enjoy!

Here is my photo for the day, take a while back but as I am not even entertaining the idea of going outside yet, this is all you get!
