Now it is all down to timing.
Pick one of those warm sunny days and the Quays are a really pleasant place to be.
The water takes on a different colour and the sunlight works on all those buildings of glass and shimmering metal finishes.
But if you pick a day when the grey clouds seem almost to settle on that water and bring the promise of driving rain all that is left is a visit to the Lowry and perhaps a long leisurely afternoon in one of the bars, restaurants or cafes.
And that is as contrived a link to the Alchemist as you can get.*
Peter and I had been out on an adventure to visit Mr Lowry’s paintings on a day when the weather veered from bright sunshine to showers.
Having done the paintings we decided on a drink and so to the Alchemist which is the new one on that stretch of land beside the water, between the Lowry and Media City.
It is an interesting building and straight way Peter decided it was a worthy subject for a painting and so here is the Alchemist with its gold roof, and bold lines.
I wrote about it recently and it has also attracted others who have photographed it, but this is Peter’s painting.*
