8.08 on the clock at St.James station, Liverpool. I just happened to be wandering past at this exact time when I noticed the time – doesn’t happen often.

The Anglican Cathedral, shot from St.James Gardens, one of the city’s hidden gems. Definitely worth a quick explore if you’re ever in the area.

The lighthouse at Talacre – the lighthouse is actually shifting which makes trying to get a straight horizon interesting.

Trying to enjoy the sun outside the Maritime Museum, this fella was snapped in exactly the same pose by a fellow Flickr user. Wonder if he knows he’s famous.

Nestled in the side of a massive ventilation shaft, this is one of two statues, Day (the other being Night), carved from basalt they represent the never closing Mersey Tunnels. Photos really don’t do these statues justice, in real life they have both a glossy and a matte texture – very odd but very cool.

A snapshot of Liverpool’s ever changing waterfront. I started working in Liverpool about 11 years ago – a good two thirds of what is on this picture did not exist at that time. The change in just over a decade has been staggering and it’s still going – just out of shot are the ferry terminal, Echo Arena and the new buildings at Mann Island. The architectural merits of the new buildings are debatable but such investment in a city that stood still for so long is welcome.
