UK - Manchester - Arndale Bridge
The Stephen Hodder designed footbridge linking two halves of the Arndale Centre in Manchester. I've tried to take this shot on several previous trips to the city but it's always been too busy.

From Wikipedia : "Manchester Arndale (sometimes also known as The Arndale Centre or The Arndale, a term that has been widely used to describe a number of shopping centres in the UK) is a large shopping centre in Manchester, England. The centre was built in the 1970s when many other cities were constructing large malls. Manchester Arndale is the largest of a chain of Arndale Centres built across the UK in the 1960s and 1970s. It was constructed in phases between 1972 and 1979, at a cost of £100m.
The centre was redeveloped after the 1996 Manchester bombing. The centre has a retail floorspace of just under 1,500,000 sq ft (140,000 m2) (not including Selfridges and Marks and Spencer department stores to which it is connected via a link bridge), making it Europe's third largest city-centre shopping mall. It is one of the largest shopping centres in the UK with 41 million visitors annually, ahead of the Trafford Centre which attracts 35 million."
