I love this photograph of Deansgate, Manchester, taken during a heavy rainstorm this August, 2019.
Taken from Deansgate Station, it has been likened to a Lowry painting.
It was taken by Simon Buckley, an artist whose photographs I discovered in his blog Not Quite Light, featuring photographs of the older, northern parts of the city that I love when, well, it was not quite light.
His blog led me to his website, where you can view and purchase copies of his prints:
City Jackdaw 
That’s a beautiful picture. The colours and the lighting is really amazing.

Yes, it has proved very popular here in Manchester. Elsewhere too.

This is lovely…gritty, old, new, and so alive!
I checked out his website…some great stuff. Thanks for showing another slice of Manchester to this honorary newbie Manc.
