Two pictures from the Museum of Liverpool. Large red display with a photo montage of most famous of Liverpools’ exports – the Beatles.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to go and see the Beatles show or visit the Cavern Club in town. Still, there’s always a next time!
The Royal Liver building (pronounced Laiver) is an iconic landmark on Liverpool pier. The two liver birds (one in the picture below) watch over the city and are fabled to bring luck to the city. This building was the tallest structure in the United Kingdom till 1961 and is one of the first buildings in the world to be built with reinforced concrete.

The old warehouses at the Liverpool docks. The old loading bays are painted a bright red.. Just the opportunity for a photograph. Selectively desaturated to keep the reds only.
Love locks are an increasingly common sight in Europe. I saw them in large quantities in Vilnius many years ago, and more recently in Liverpool a couple of days ago. While love locks may symbolize eternal and unbreakable love, I can’t but agree with municipal authorities that these represent a nuisance. Not only are they expensive to remove, they also litter up a place. Having said that, however, they do make an excellent subject for photography.
These were a few of many hundred locks that have begun to appear on the chain link fences on Liverpool docks by the Mersey.
The autumn is beginning, and bees everywhere are making the most of the season by hoarding up for the coming winter.
Seven Lakes drive is a road in the Hudson valley in New York state.. As the name implies the route passes by seven lakes in this forested region of the Harriman state park. This picture records sunset at Lake Tiorati.
Photographed with an iPhone 4S and processed in Adobe Lightroom.
These Zinnia flowers were grown from seeds purchased on my last visit to the US. I love the detail on these flowers and have tried to capture them in this photograph.
Photographed on 4th September, 2013 with a Nikon D7000, Sigma 105mm f/2.8 lens at ISO100, f/20, 1/250 with remote flash in slave mode.
From the New York Botanical Gardens.
This photograph of the iconic Manhattan skyline comes from a rocking ferry returning from the Statue of Liberty. 3-shot bracketed HDR at -2, 0, 2 processed in Photomatix Pro. Slightly overblown highlights but the sky was dull and overcast and I had to increase brightness and luminance to get anything useful out of the picture.
