Within this following 4 days, the weather in Manchester is perfect unusually. There is no reason to go out. So, I brought my camera explore the city on last Sunday. It was a Valentine's day. Unfortunately, there is no gossip news about me. So, I went around alone. But, it's alright.
At the corner of the Palace hotel, turning left. I knew when I step into a path behind a little bit big road, I can reach out a river. Walking alongside the river, I wasn't able to miss the reflection of blue sky on the river. It's just beautiful.
Plus, I would like to tell you there is a bar alongside with this river. On this Friday, I will click glasses with full of beer together with my friends. The drink gathering will be held in evening though. Anyway, this direction is for Deansgate, which is a stylish area of Manchester.
As I got thirsty after I got to the area, I dropped by a cafe and then ordered a hot chocolate. I think a hot chocolate here in UK, (I don't know other countries though), is like a cocoa in Japan. Taste is same. But only difference from Japanese one is that a cafe staff in UK put fluffy cream on the hot chocolate. It's like a cloud because the amount of cream is large for Japanese. I will miss this topping cream when I back to Japan.
While I was drinking it, I pondered why a camera makes me look for a tiny but a stunning moment around me. The reason is simple. It is because there was nothing to do apart from shooting photos. But I would like to mention a point that when everyone has a habit to give significance what I have or what surrounds around me. That's why I am forced to find capturing moments.
When I was passing through Oxford Road on my way home from the cafe, my camera angle stuck with a hundred of roses at a flower shop. Yes, although woman give a chocolate to a guy with whom the woman is in love on Valentine's day, here in UK, man give flowers to woman. There were bunch of guys who looked happy with a bouquet of rosese. Okay, I exposed what I felt at this moment - I felt envious of the situation where a person loves a particular one. Love is always difficult and complicated. Yes, it can entirely energise us.
While I was thinking such a thing, I left the flower shop after taking an above photo. That was a best timing to pass through the street in front of the business school building. You can see the stunning sunset below. Always it's cloudy and rainy in UK. But, that's why simple sky blue and a beautiful sunset make us happy. I love such a weekend.
