EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view showcases the vibrant cityscape of Manchester, one of the largest cities in the UK. The print captures an expansive landscape, with North positioned at the top for orientation. At the center-left lies Manchester, a bustling metropolis surrounded by the M60 ring motorway. Within this circular road network are two other prominent cities - Salford and Trafford. The image also highlights significant geographical features such as the Audenshaw Reservoir, located adjacent to the eastern part of the M60. This body of water adds a serene touch to an otherwise urban environment. Another notable landmark is seen on the far left - it marks where the Manchester Ship Canal begins its journey. Stretching across approximately 20 kilometers, this photograph encapsulates not only man-made structures but also natural elements like fields and rivers. The Mersey and Irwell rivers flow through this region, enhancing its scenic beauty. With its montage-like composition, this print offers a comprehensive glimpse into Greater Manchester's diverse surroundings. From suburban areas to urban landscapes, from reservoirs to motorways cutting through picturesque towns - all these elements come together harmoniously within this frame. This stunning capture by Science Photo Library provides a fascinating insight into European urban geography while showcasing England's rich cultural heritage and breathtaking scenery.
