March 9th 2010 - Goree Plaza At Night
As promised earlier this week, I returned to the fountain at the Goree Plaza this evening to take this shot. The noise of the moving water was quite deafening - like the crashing waves of the ocean, and much more noticeable in the quiet and stillness of the night in Liverpool's business district.

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 14th 2010 - The Coach House, Calderstones Park
The sandstone Coach House was one of the outbuildings belonging to the Mansion in Calderstones Park. It now houses Ranger Service offices and The Coach House Gallery, where exhibitions of local arts and crafts are regularly held. I was on a mission, as night fell this evening, to photograph the ancient Allerton Oak tree in the Park when I took this shot.

January 3rd 2010 - Twilight through Sefton Park
This path through Sefton Park was lit by gas lamps during the Victorian era. Having remained in darkness for decades, replica lighting has recently been installed. This gives a sense of how the park would have appeared at twilight in the 1800's. It was cold and crisp with a cloudless sky when I took this photograph at around 5pm this evening.
