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.
Antony Gormleys’ Another Place, Crosby. Difficult to try and get a different photo of this installation – it’s so photogenic that everyone seems to have a photo of it!
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.
Stormy weather off the coast at Crosby. This was taken on a very cold, very stormy January day at Crosby, one of the first shots I took with my Sigma 10-20 lens. Still love the different dimension it brings to photos.
