Sea Odyssey Day 1
Friday, April 20th, 2012Took a late lunch today and went down to the Albert Dock in Liverpool to see the emergence of Uncle which is one of the giant figures performing throughout the city as part of Sea Odyssey this weekend. Took over 300 photographs in less than 45 minutes and reducing them down to a few to […]
Dark Reflections
Wednesday, May 18th, 2011I think this is the first time DarkDwarf and I have independantly taken photographs of the same thing for our blogs. Here is a shot of the Port of Liverpool Building reflected in Mann Island Development I took a couple of weeks ago but fell through the cracks of being busy doing other things. Scarily […]
Accretion
Friday, March 18th, 2011When I took this picture of buildings all jostling for space with each other on a Liverpool street I was going to just post it as a throw away picture post. However this was one of the views, with its variety of buildings from different eras, that inspired my render Accretion City. So I thought […]

North John Street Ventilation Station Horse Head

Lennon European Peace Monument

Royal Insurance Building Dome Liverpool
Tuesday, February 8th, 2011The golden dome on the Royal Insurance Building in Dale Street stands out on Liverpool’s skyline. 34m (110ft) above Street level is the highest point on the Grade II* listed building started in 1897 and finished in 1903. Sadly J Francis Doyle’s Edwardian Baroque building has been derelict for most of my time in Liverpool.
The Bluecoat Liverpool
Thursday, January 20th, 2011Today was the first day this year I’ve taken my camera for a wander round Liverpool at lunch time. I’d originally taken it in because there was some really atmospheric mist when I got up in the morning and I was hoping it would still be around later. By lunch it had all burnt off. […]
Photo Galleries
Wednesday, January 12th, 2011Last night I added a page for some Vue stuff from my blog to make it easier to find. Tonight I’ve pulled some of my photographs together into galleries in my pictures section so they’re not lost in a sea of over a thousand posts.
