Sometime you just wish to be left alone to ponder. Recently, I was feeling this way and was searching for some peace. This is rarely possible in the city centre. The surroundings are usually claustrophobic, buzzing and stressful. So I started looking back at some of the photos I have taken and found this shot, which I took some time back. Then, all of a sudden, I started to smile and I felt a sense of tranquillity. Thus, I wish to share this photo with all of you, and I hope you will find your simple peace and happiness.

By the way, this shot was taken across Piccadilly road in Manchester: Facing Malmaison hotel. If you travel to Manchester by train, Malmaison Hotel will be one of the few buildings that will greet you as you walk out of the train station as you head towards Arndale Centre.

Elliot House along Deansgate was the formal home to the Manchester Education Commitee. During the refurbishment of the Central Library in Peter Square, Elliot House was converted into the City Library. The photo above was captured when Elliot House still hosted the City Library.

Today's photo depicts a sunset scene at The Lowry and Imperial War Museum North. I have taken this shot from Salford Quays Lift Bridge with my Canon PowerShot SX20IS. I felt the photo is a little noisy; any suggestions how I can improve it?
