I guess all large cities have clusters of buildings of different ages, and sometimes they can be viewed like geological sediments.  In this Manchester street the sombre reds of the brick, sandstone and terracotta facades of the Victorian age give way to the bright limestone often favoured in the 30s and then to contemporary glass and steel, rising above the older buildings. 

For various reasons I feel this is best viewed in the smaller version.

Ian, I like the depth and the ghost-like appearance of the new building. I agree that small works better, perhaps because it enhances the strong perspective?

Ian: While I really like the well exposed portion of the image, the shadows take up too large a portion of the image. I would have liked to have seen this one of two ways: either less of the shadowed buildings in the photo or opening the shadows. Richard
