Can you get a better view in a city...?

Excuse the EXTREMELY ghetto stitching of images (couldn't be bothered :/) and...clicky...that's nearly 1Mb btw...dialup killah!

It's so quiet here...

At night it's absolutely beautiful.

At this time of year, the sun sets just to the left of the church spire you can see on the opposite bank.

I work in the building with the white dome on the opposite bank, just past the first bridge.

Yeah that's where I live, Craig...

Cruddas Park (the tower blocks) is a bit of a minging place to be honest but I quite like the colours of it...Don't like the shape but the colours are quite appealing.

At night you can hardly see the tower blocks...And there are lights all along the waters' edge that reflect in the water...Quite beautiful.

I took this pic of the sunset a couple of weeks ago:

And this pic of an odd, vertical, spiralling cloud on the same night:

100% crop of the blocks...I don't know why but I like the yellows and browns they use...

There's ten of them - about 2.6Mb apiece... (3072x2304)

Maybe a 50% resize...?

In the OP's pic, that thing in the water looks like the wrecked carrier in FarCry.

That's the Staiths - it used to have a railway line on top of it for loading ships.

It's quite hauntingly beautiful in its structure since it has been refurbed.

You're really loving where you live arn't you penski?

Yup - It genuinely feels like 'home'...I've been calmer and more relaxed over the last five months than I have at any other point in my life.

Hmm, looks like a cross between a huge council estate and an equally huge industrial estate :/

Other than Cruddas Park (that big bunch of towers), it's mostly the college, a business park, bridges and the arena...

Anyway...What's wrong with council estates?
