Liverpool Anglican Cathedral

The cathedral is based on a design by Giles Gilbert Scott, and was constructed between 1904 and 1978. The total external length of the building is 207 yards (189 m) making it the longest cathedral in the world. In terms of overall volume, Liverpool Cathedral ranks as the fifth-largest cathedral in the world. I think for me it would rank as one of the ugliest but I am sure many people would not agree. I couldn't get an exterior photo I liked so have borrowed one.
Photos included of the 27-foot-high sculpture, made of more than 100,000 knives, outside the cathedral. The knives were the result of collection points for knives confiscated from individuals by 43 police forces across the country.

 

Birds on West Kirby Marine Lake

On Wednesday morning, we visited West Kirby in bright clear sunlight and were entertained by  Brent Geese, several cormorants and many Gulls on the Marine Lake. The patterns of the reflections and the Brent's plumage kept me entertained for a long while.

 

The Blue Hour in Liverpool Dock Area

On Wednesday, after a morning at West Kirby (images to follow), we moved residence to Liverpool City and had just the hour after the sunset to take some images around the Albert Dock area.

Walks on New Year's Day - Rhyl and Talacre

We enjoyed chilly but very enjoyable walks on Rhyl promenade and then, in the afternoon, on Talacre beach as the sun set.

Liverpool Catholic Cathedral and New Brighton Icons

On Monday, after visiting the Library, we paid a quick visit to the Catholic Cathedral. The weather was very dull so, hopefully, we will revisit on a sunny day. We returned to New Brighton and I took a few photos of the Liverpool skyline at dusk, one of the mermaids on their Trail and also of the plaque that celebrates the Foundation of the Guide Dogs for the Blind in 1931
