July 5th 2010 - River Reflection

A beautiful sunset at the Pier Head this evening. I caught this reflection of the River Mersey and the floating landing stage in the window of the new, soon to be opened, Museum of Liverpool Life. A peaceful and still scene - it reminded me, strangely, of Venice. The light lasted for a few fleeting moments before disappearing.

January 22nd 2010 - Fog on the Mersey
