It’s not often I get so taken by architecture but the John Rylands Library in central Manchester is really quite something else.
We were visiting with a view to researching Lancashire folklore so photography was very much an (ever present) afterthought. Here are some of the images I took during our afternoon, all shot with the Olympus Pen F and handheld at speeds down to 1/4 of a second. Hats off to the amazing image stabilising abilities of this little wonder of a camera.
The shots were split toned in Lightroom.
Thanks for the photo’s….I often visit this magical place!
You’re welcome Maria. It is a magical building isn’t it.
Fab, did u try out the water closets!
Nope I didn’t! I only heard of their specialness after we’d left. Next time I’ll ensure I check them out, and may sneak my camera inside too. 🙂
Amazing shots
stunning imagery! They certainly don’t create buildings like they used too <3
Thank you Sharon. They were built to last weren’t they! And with style.
Wow!!! What a magical building this is, I’m not a fan of Manchester but I’ll certainly make the effort to see this place, it looks amazing. Thank you for the stunning photos Jason, brilliant 🙂 x

What magical photos! Thank you so much for this tantalising glimpse into a Gothic beauty. 🙂
