That Liverpool cliché

02 Jun 2009 48
Couldn't resist. Not a fabulous shot, but hey, on a ferry with a fixed wide-angle lens. Note the new, almost-complete museum at almost the far right, just obscuring the Albert Dock. Progressing leftwards: Anglican Cathedral in the background; Liverpool One shopping redevelopment under the crane; the new Pier Head terminal for the Isle of Man ferries; the Port Authority dome behind it; the 1930s tunnel ventilation shaft behind the Cunard building, with an Isle of Man ferry in front; the famous twin-towered Liver building (White Star Line headquarters of Titanic-announcement fame pretty much behind that); Radio City tower; St. Nick's church; bunch of modern office/hotel stuff of no great note; enigmatic low-on-windows earlier modern car park/offices (in pale brown).

Offshore wind

02 Jun 2009 74
Again, not a photo I'm pleased with, but a 24mm prime lens was a little restrictive at this distance. Still, the actual wind farms in the Mersey Estuary are a curio. I enjoyed seeing this one with white turbines against a blue sky whilst those of the one behind me, no longer in direct sunlight, looked mid-grey against the same sky. No way to get them all in the same shot at more than pixel-size though!
