March 7th 2010 - Kites over the Mersey

A beautiful, sunny afternoon spent photographing the kites flying alongside the river down at Otterspool Promenade. The kite pictured is known as a Barley Twist and was mesmerising to watch, as it turned and went spinning through the sky.

January 4th 2010 - Welcome to our World...

Bright, clear afternoon on a walk by the River Mersey at Otterspool. This blue metal globe propped against a tree caught my eye. Adjacent to this is the original 'Welcome' entrance sign for the International Garden Festival held in Liverpool in 1984. They reminded me of something long forgotten, out of place and uncared for. On the positive side, nature has once again reclaimed this spot - for the time being anyhow.
