Artist's Comments

The large tower in the centre of this photo is going to be the tallest building in europe when its finished (if only for about a month), it's rumoured to be a Hilton Hotel. This photo was taken from Fallowfield's Platt Fields Park (about half an hour away in a straight line) the main student area for the city, apparenty when its finished we'll be able to see it almost everywhere. Four more buildings of the same size are also being built to finish within the next two years.

I'm starting to feel very small and the sky seems not so far away anymore.

It's about time Manchester got some proper skyscrapers, eh? I love Beetham Tower, and she's not even finished yet... I'd kill for a penthouse apartment! ;)

It really stands out in the skyline when your on a train leaving Piccadily. I love it too, can't wait to see it finished, it just keeps getting taller! Not sure about going to the top though (is scared of heights!). I want to go and take some photos from the observation bit at the Imperial War Museum, but I'm scared to go up there again (will bribe someone into forcing her), but the view is amazing from there.

I went through a funny stomach-doing-backflips-when-in-high-places phase a couple of years back, which was weird considering I grew up in the Land of Tall Buildings aka Hong Kong... thankfully I'm over that now! I heard someone on the train say about Beetham "I don't know why they had to make it so tall", I almost turned around and said "Because they can!". I restrained myself and kept my mouth shut though ;)
