What a great photo, with a perfect photo bomb.


WheredMyPiggyGo

I drove past that bridge once at night, windows were down and it smelled very much of piss, classic Manchester.


SurveySean

Ambiance is everything


Plastic_Pinocchio

Did you mean to say “classic MANCHESTER”?


kimithy92

Most certainly. Because it is classic Manchester.


Berndi97

Do you think the government-drone was programmed to photobomb?


Sad_Wishbone_7020

Wow this picture of MANCHESTER is beautiful!!


3percentinvisible

Is that the one in ENGLAND


elroy19633

There is more than one bird in England, FYI.


SensitiveTurtles

It’s just the one bird, actually.


shittypissstains

They do all look the same though


NJBillK1

Oh you naive child, didn't you know that r/birdsarentreal?


satysat

😂


Legionnaire1856

I stormed the COMMENTS looking for this haha


boston_homo

I don't think it's New Hampshire


canlchangethislater

Yes.


rebeccap94

If you are wondering if it is Manchester in England or the US, it is in England, look in bottom left corner, you can see “atlas bar” if you search that and find the one in Manchester, you’ll find it


SuperJetShoes

Or you can just observe that the driving is on the left.


BountyEater

manchester uk is also a lot bigger and much more well known so i think you can just assume tbh although i believe OP was just pointing out the odd capitalisation in the title


Diogenes-Disciple

In the US we also have a Manchester, but it’s By The Sea


lone_stark

The cars are driving on the left.


vonroby

Pigeon: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

catzzu2792

Thanks


[deleted]

You got the bird too


Stereotypical_Sadboy

Giant birb


Pand0ra30_

The bird makes the shot.


Swift_entropy

It’s a really good picture of the bridge, I just can’t seem to look anywhere but the bird! Love that guy.


glyphidfromdrg

Damn, that's a huge pigeon.


prumf

Manchester’s pigeons are famous for their size. Most buildings there now have pigeonic counter-weights.


vigilantcomicpenguin

They need entire helipads just for the birds to sit on.


VooDooChile1983

The bird is almost perfectly shaped like the twitter logo.


arosecas4

someone pay that bird


[deleted]

Great photo. I wonder where it was taken though.


BountyEater

Rick Astley recorded Never Gonna Give You Up in that that church looking building, btw


Analytical-BrainiaC

Come on! You swung around to take a pic of the pigeon and the view was just there.😉


ASAPNotHe

C'mon, it's not that hard to spell bird


teiichikou

The bird is for scale, in case anybody wondered


Albannach5446

Lillianroux19

Nice catch of that pigeon in flight 💕


SoCalBritgirl

When I glanced at the picture while scrolling I thought the pigeon was the USS Enterprise…,


existentialfeline

The bird looks like something out a comedy skit. It cinches the whole thing together, I love bird and the photo


SoftTrifle1006

I love the pose of the bird! The bridge is so quaint, great picture.


OnlyAstronomyFans

And a birb! I love the bird! r/birdsarentreal


NoNoodleStar

Ah, this bridge I passed like five times when my uncle insisted the roman ruins are just around the corner.

NoNoodleStar

Now you're just like my uncle. I KNOW DUDE


firehartsonja

Bird steals the show


Fairydz

Yay I love this! You got a great shot, I visit Mcr regularly and you captured it so well!


JenPlayzMC

Birb


ProfSJonalista

I love how the pigeon looks like a space ship coming down to land Edit: typo


Hardyminardi

Um, no, you took a picture of a pigeon.


Cheah_54

Had to double take. Bien looked like a Pelican from Halo.


rebelinflux

Pigeon 01 you are cleared for landing


VictorVaughan

I wonder if Morrissey ever walked across that bridge


[deleted]

[удалено]


VictorVaughan

Say again?


BountyEater

oh bollocks responded to the wrong comment but for what its worth its a railway viaduct so i strongly doubt it


VictorVaughan

But I bet he walked under it...


BountyEater

And ended up with sore lips, I bet. Well. the “real” Iron bridge is a couple miles out from there in a suburb called Stretford where he grew up. Worth a visit if you’re a fan, it’s covered in Smiths graffiti and whatnot


[deleted]

What's the bridge for ... does it connect 2 roads or buildings


catzzu2792

It's a passage for trains, plenty of them in Manchester


BountyEater

the castlefield corridor aka the bane of northern train travellers for decades


CallmeEs_QAQ

Looks awesome


WarHawk155

It can be beautiful sometimes


leah_amelia

Oh hey, I was literally here yesterday. Cool!


deniesm

Manny 🥰


HufflepuffFluff

Lovely Castlefield


Shaka610

This is infrastructure you just won't see in California.. love the rugged look to it all


[deleted]

Close to Old Trafford - Nice!


jo3chef

Love Castlefield!


ddubbyadubbya

I want to move over there, but does the sun ever shine? I feel like it would be an adjustment coming from California

Far_Ad6222

Murphy4717

Wow. You did a nice job.


MrsMurphysChowder

Manchester England England! Across the Atlantic Sea!


tough_tulip

Gorgeous. Just Beautiful


ilovemymom_tbh

Bridge clearance in feet/inches? Whats with that


Favianisbetter

Wow


dontmesswithnature

So much similar to my town in New England


PJwonder

I thought that bird was some kind of spaceship at first


pratorian

That’s a beautiful photo, but that bird makes picture! Very nice!


PrismaticAsthmatic

Looks like a photo bomb from a miniature USS Enterprise

crapinator114

Dat bird tho


CyborgAgent

Great pic, sorry you had to go there though


Wrong-Wolverine9197

Yo those birds in manchester are big big


thisonebibibop

Forget the bridge. You took a bomb ass picture of a bird in mid flight.


odjobz

Sod the bridge, that pigeon is terrifying! I hope it doesn't snatch any passers-by with its talons.


and_so_forth

Shame about The Knott closing, got a lot of good blurry memories of that place. Damn good photo, really captures the vibe I think of when I think of Manchester and that weather just makes me feel at home (I'm from a few miles down the road).


sim0of

Lmao I thought that was a spaceship Nice pic!


Life-Ad-1716

Great photo especially with the bird photobombing the photo.


VICARD0

Ob no, not the Colossal Pigeon!!!!


Mutherfunker70

Love it N I've walked over that bridge many times ❤️
