A moody overview looking at all the platforms out toward the main railway just South of Manchester Piccadilly. Also a great excuse to get a Joy Division song title into the picture name..
Mayfield, Manchesters' long forgotten station - for as long as I can remember I have wanted to have a look in here, I got the opportunity out of the blue today, finally. It's amazing something of this size and grandeur has been left abandoned for so long, a fire has taken a lot of the old roof away, but a lot of features still remain in situ, a rather eerie feel to the place too, in a huge City, right next to Piccadilly, a seriously busy transport hub, yet here is deserted, overgrown, forgotten... I had no tripod today (lucky I had the camera), and shooting under here was difficult because of the contrasting light, and total lack of light in places, a rare summer sunny day helped in places, yet also hindered in others, all in all it was a quick visit and I'm very happy with what I came away with given the conditions, lack of support, and timescale.

Verging on storm weather here today, abandoned the walk here and headed inland, crazy wind up on the cliffs!

I've been here 3 or 4 times over the last 15 years, and nothing prepares you for it, by far the strangest place I have ever been. A bizarre experience that is somehow OK, to visit and take pictures (no flash - unless you're really ignorant and ignore all the signs in various languages asking you to respect the dead, like some guy did when I was there), I really want to visit Auschwitz in Poland, I don't think I'd be able to be as candid with my photography there.as here. small DOF here to get the person at rest. You get the idea.

I really do not know what an appropriate title is here, and I don't think it's fair that I make one either, so, choose your own depending how you feel......
it's kinda hard to post stuff like this to the net, but, it's ok by the keepers of the church for photography so it's ok with me, you are looking at a monk from a long time ago, 15/16th century, an actual human, When the Church was built the graves were dug up and all the monks bones were used as a mark of respect to make a small chapel out in the garden to the rear, their bones basically making up the majority of the building. I'm trying to describe it as best I can, but this is the single most unusual place I have been in my life, I've visited it 3 or 4 times over a long period of time and the feeling never changes, the most curious of places imaginable.
