The tall building, left of centre, is the 47-storey Beetham Tower, which houses the Hilton Hotel and private apartments, and is the tallest residential building in the country.
The building is 554 feet (168.9m) tall and stands at an elevation of around 100 feet (33m) above sea level, which means that the spot where the photo was taken is around 300 feet higher than the top of the building!

Sky Watch is a regular weekly feature on this photo blog. It links with websites all over the world with the general theme each week of looking upwards. Please take the opportunity to visit some of these other sites. I hope some new visitors have found their way here today, watching the skies!

ReplyDeleteReal drama there.
ReplyDeleteNice to see a golden glow rather than the smog of yesteryear.

Yea, I like that one. Good shot.
ReplyDeleteLike a curtain rising on a floodlit stage. Well done, Martin, transfixing image.
ReplyDeleteMakes Manchester look like the 'Celestial City'!!! Probably about the time you were taking that shot I was actually walking by Beetham Tower
ReplyDeleteI too say wow! What an awesome sky!
