Explorin' Manchester

Heya!

Had some time this weekend to explore the city with friends. We went walking around Manchester City Center. I took a few pictures to share :) Tomorrow will be our first class this semester which is exciting. Looking forward to it but also worried about getting lost along the way. Getting to the city center by bus has been simple so far but then from the center we have to find a bus that will get us to MediaCityUK. The bus system in the UK, at least right now, seems a lot more chaotic. For one thing buses are owned by various companies so you can buy a weekly bus pass for one line but still have to pay for a bus to go somewhere else. We will get it figured out though. Here are some photos from Manchester City Center

One of our first stops was at the Manchester Cathedral.

 

The entrance...

The buildings in front of the cathedral.

 

City shot, those are some random strangers there...

Another city shot.

 

There were some statues in one of the buildings we visited. This was an interesting one. It is a statue of a composer, Sir John Barbirolli.

 

Platt Fields is very close to my house so I decided to take a look around Sunday.

There's a church in the middle of the park which is very picturesque.

Here's a clearer picture of the church, but I like the other photo as well for the lighting.

Lots of grass and trees. When it warms up it'll be a nice place for a picnic, if it also happens to not rain one day ;)

Beautiful lake just outside my door. This photo turned out surprisingly well.

That's all for now. I'll update you next week probably.
