Lunchtime freedom

I took a few photos in this general area, and for the first time this week had some difficulty choosing one for the Blip.

This one is taken behind the Lowry Hotel. Dandara are on with a big new apartment scheme, early days but it is already a hive of activity. In the background a Salford skyline, including one of the City's best churches - Sacred Trinity. In the foreground office workers having a lunchtime smoke.

The extra - a scene nearby. I have no idea what "body modification" involves. I hope it isn't too painful.
