April 18th 2010 - Anglican Cathedral From Everton Brow

Another early morning start - once again, I had planned to photograph the rising sun, but this image of the cathedral took me aback. An absolutely stunning shot of the tower emerging out of the mist rolling in from the Mersey. It has since clouded over; it was certainly the best part of the day.

January 24th 2010 - 'Dragon's Nostril' at the Anglican Cathedral
Back photographing the interior of the Anglican Cathedral again today. This shot was taken in the area behind the altar, where the choir and clergy congregate before a service begins. I love the colour and texture of the sandstone and how it seems to illuminate the jewel colours in the stained glass window beyond. There are two of these archways, framing the steps on either side of the altar. The choir refer to 'going through the dragon's nostrils' as they file up and out into the choir stalls through these archways - a fitting description.

January 22nd 2010 - Cathedral Candles
Peaceful afternoon photographing the Anglican Cathedral and neighbouring St. James' Gardens, where the Cathedral tower was semi-obscured by mist. Inside, the warm glow of these candles against the sandstone walls was a sharp contrast. Each candle represents a prayer.

January 16th 2010 - Liverpool at Night
This amazing aerial view, looking out across the city towards the Metropolitan Cathedral, was taken at nightfall tonight from the 331ft. high tower of the Anglican Cathedral. A clear sky but very breezy at the top. Liverpool University's multicoloured Engineering building and red brick clock tower can be seen behind the Cathedral and the busy Hope Street, home to the Philharmonic Hall, is in the foreground to the right.
