Looking up from beneath the Imperial Chinese Arch in Manchester's Chinatown, with a pink dusk sky. The Chinese Arch was made in China, shipped to Manchester and assembled in 1986/87. In late 2005 it underwent restoration.

Read about the revamp of the Chinese Arch in the article by Don Frame on the Manchester Online website. That sky was not digitally manipulated or colorized!
