Waterloo Sunset

The Kinks song Waterloo Sunset was originally called Liverpool Sunset and this is Waterloo Beach.  In Liverpool.

Dirty old river.

But you wouldn't think it to look at it. The weather yesterday was stunning and the sunset over the Mersey was quite amazing. I know it's the school holidays but the places was packed right the way along so I reckon this culture lark might be paying off.

Hard Day's Night Hotel

The statues of the Beatles are up on the ledges of the new Hard Day's Night Hotel in Liverpool and Lennon gets to look down on the madness of Mathew Street and the Cavern Quarter.

King Edward VII

That's the bloke on the horse on the plateau in front of St.George's Hall. In the background is the Wellington Memorial.

Waterloo

This is actually from earlier on in the year but I just came across it whilst doing a late edit! I've also just been editing metadata as I didn't seem to have the right calendar setting on my camera. And when I looked into it I found that one of my previous compact cameras only ever took photographs in the year 2020.

Big up the Crosby.

Whilst the north end of Liverpool's take on hip hop culture rarely stretches beyond the odd deluded youth wandering around The Strand in a Snoop Dog t-shirt, that all changed on Friday when Crosby's Almiro Gallery hosted it's first non commercial exhibition as part of a new programme for Capital Of Culture. The show was produced by Liverpool's Zap Graffiti arts and runs until Feb 15th. Not exactly groundbreaking but nice to see something out in Crosby with an edge. And a bit further down the road is this other nice little piece of Americana decor. It's a Stateside obsessed house and now I want to see inside!

Blogs are like buses

Nothing for ages and then they all come at once! It's Liverpool Town Hall for those not acquainted with the city!

Richard Wilson's 'Turning The Place Over'

When I was taking this photograph, a man walked by me and said 'it get's boring after a while'.

Fazakerley Street

Been a bit slow on the updates this week but I have actually done a few pics. This one is, I think, Fazakerely off Old Hall Street.
