A SPLENDID time lapse video of Manchester has been commissioned by the people at Piccadilly Place - click here.

The idea is to have an artwork that shows Manchester from dawn to night and the video shows the process through which the artwork will be created.

It was taken from the roof of Piccadilly Place and is full of charming detail, car parks filling, light moving across buildings, the sun setting glorious and golden.

Decent mood music too, even if a bit tantric sex.

Maybe you should watch this and then take a look at this article we published six months or so ago - Manchester: Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder.

The artwork comes from Andy Marshall at fotofacade - click here.
