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.

January 11th 2010 - Penny Lane (A Year in the Life of...)

So, as this is a Liverpool blog, you may be surprised it has taken me 11 days to mention The Beatles... I was out walking this afternoon and noticed that the road sign on Penny Lane was free from graffiti. This is quite a rarity as it is usually covered with names of fans from across the globe who visit the place made famous by The Beatles' song. I've photographed the sign, with its colourful additions, on a few occasions (Once when the letters had been altered to spell Benny Hill!) and thought it might be interesting to take a photograph on the 11th of each month this year for the blog, so that you can check back to see how it evolves.
