Nice one Ted. It really captures the way these strips of peaceful nature are tucked behind the scenes in the urban environment. Like the reflection too.

I've enjoyed looking at your Castlefields set of photos Ted!

Next time you're in the city have a look at Adolfe Vallete's (LS Lowry's tutor) impressionist paintings in the city art gallery....there's one from very near this spot in your photo which I really love: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/Mickledore/IndiaHouse.jpg&imgrefurl=http://vulpeslibris.wordpress.com/2008/01/02/adolphe-valette-a-french-impressionist-in-manchester-by-sandra-martin/&usg=__4GpY6Gfrrsf__Qr1zll-tskg3jQ=&h=306&w=186&sz=12&hl=en&start=7&sig2=e05Rmepgc8OjI9CEKtJ9tQ&um=1&tbnid=Dsv74TwAKyrjAM:&tbnh=117&tbnw=71&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dadolphe%2Bvalette%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26hs%3D3Af%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1&ei=UUC3Sv20JMKojAe_gLXbCw

@Ian Bramham: Thanks Ian...spookily the other half had been saying for some time we should pick up a Lowry print. The football one was mentioned until I pointed out it was Wanderers & not Old Trafford! This is fascinating though...to think that Lowry had a Tutor! That Lowry is so "Northern"...that his tutor was French! You have enlightened me again...I know so few artists anyway, that I can name or like...to know one more and that I actually like...well, that's some feat. Thank you Sir!
