Manchester Platform 4

Just over a week ago my beloved home city was trashed. Today I made a visit to see how things had changed in that week. What a fantastic afternoon. Platform 4 were having their annual festival and it was a great atmosphere. Where else would you see an all male deaf dance group, mannequins piled high as performance art and Eastern dance, all of them watched and applauded by proud and enthusiastic Mancs. So many fantastic sights so no apologies about the number of shots here. Great day.

Balearic Festival, Manchester 2009

Just wandered into town one day and this was happening - managed to catch the festival parade which these are from. What a fantastic day.
