Looking out on Exchange Square, on a March day in 2014

Now I bet most of us at sometime have taken a picture through a big glass window.

It was what you do when pretty much all the interesting subjects have walked away or been exhausted.

So here is Exchange Square on a Saturday morning in early March looking out from the Arndale.

In my defence it does capture a moment of change down in the square.

The big wheel has been banished to Piccadilly Gardens and work is underway for the new metro stop which will be part of the Second City Crossing taking trams from St Peter’s Square, down Princess Street and Cross Street and on past the Exchange Square and the Triangle to Victoria Station.

And of course Exchange Square is itself a relatively new place but in turn contains two old pubs and a shopping centre which was once an Exchange.

So there you are, a little bit of Manchester magic along with a photograph.
