This beautiful painting by local artist Sarah Connell shows off Canal street, the beating heart of Manchester's gay village.
Dramatically lit under a bright blue sky, the balance of light and dark creates a striking visual contrast.
Lining the street, a row of rainbow flags - symbolic of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer pride, (LGBTQIA+) draw the eye into the distance.
Located just south of Chinatown, the Village is both party central and a living piece of social history - proof that Manchester is one of the world's leading gay-friendly cities.
