Manchester by night - a photo on Flickriver

            Taken from Hartshead Pike near Ashton, looking WSW on Jubilee night, 2012.
Fiddlers Ferry Power Station between Widnes and Warrington, is on the far left. Behind the power station is Storeton TV transmitter on the Wirral, with five bright, vertically orientated navigation lights. To the right of that in the centre plane of the picture is Beetham Tower, with four very bright red navigation lights in a trapezoid shape. The clock tower of Manchester town hall can be seen just left of centre, next to City Tower (with three lit floors and a vertical golden stripe). The distinctive pink dome on the far right of the picture is the Trafford Centre. The towers with the coloured strip lights to the left of the Trafford Centre is Salford Quays, and the Arndale Tower is just in front of them, with the short red glowing sign at the top. The lights of Warrington lie across the picture beyond Manchester, and above Salford, beyond Warrington, are the fainter lights of Liverpool.
