Liverpool Biennial

The Liverpool Biennial is once again upon us and we had some fantastic exhibits a couple of years ago. I have yet to visit any this year, however, from what I have read it is once again promising to be a great success.

For further information check out the Biennial Site here, it isn't a brilliantly constructed site but it does have a map of the exhibits available here.

And there is more...

... just a couple more photographs from inside the Anglican Cathedral, there is so much to capture that I think I will leave the rest to you guys! I did want to just show you these, By the way you have Tracey Emin to thank for the neon sign... classy!

Having walked up and down Rodney Street for the last week I saw some fantastic places so I think that I will be starting a Rodney Street collection coming soon. I have some pictures but I want to look at the history to some of these buildings, including the Scottish Church and former Prime Minister, William Gladstone's house, but that will come at a later date..

Anglican Cathedral

I watched "Julie & Julia" this week and quite frankly I don't know where she found the time to work a full time job, cook all those meals and blog about it without being on crack or speed!

This week is Graduation week and I have been looking after some of the VIP's and even got to say 4 words to Kim Catrall, I think they consisted of "Hello, this way please". And all this deserved pomp and ceremony is taking place at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, now I thought I would reserve the Cathedral's for a time when I was running dry on 'Scouse Sights' (I reserve the right to copyright this as Google doesn't show this as a result!). However, I am in the cathedral, I got a couple of nice shots inside and out so thought I would share them with you. Well worth a look around, entrance is free but for a few quid you can go up to the tower which is brilliant if you get the right day!

For more information on this magnificent building check out their website here.

The monsters are coming!

Right, since I have been told by a couple of people that this blog is seriously lacking in regular content and I feel I have started to use my Tumblr account for inane ramblings and postings I am turning over another new leaf and kick starting with some small posts. In my defence I always have my camera with me and have snapped hundreds of photographs I want to share with you.

I would like a new camera for my birthday and wandered into town along Bold St which has provided a wealth of curiosities over the past few weeks, however, none quite so staged or on the other hand bizarre. On the streets of Liverpool yesterday 4 monsters invaded the town centre, in a scene no doubt thought up after watching A Nightmare Before Christmas 5 times too many, the broadband Niggles and Narks were out promoting O2's Home Broadband. All too happy to have their photo taken all I can say is it is just as well it wasn't a few drinks into a Friday evening the excessively friendly way in which some people greeted them!

Graffiti

As you will have gathered from previous posts I am not a fan of inane Graffiti but I like expression with meaning. In other words I hate people who just spray paint their names/tags. There is one in particular at the moment who feels that any bit of space is their right to spray their initials onto. However there is no real story behind this just things I have seen and kind of liked!

And I am back in the room

Well this year hasn't got off to a great start has it, in terms of blogging. At least this is healthier than my tumblr blog which I have had for about 6 months ago and I am now on post 2. So what has kept me so busy that I have neglected my inane musings I hear you ask well nothing other than life, however, I have kept a careful watch up and around and now I have acquired a new lead for my camera phone I can bother you all once more!

Having just verified my last post was over 2 months ago I will have to publish the photos and articles over the next few days.

Liverpool has seen its own March of the Penguins in and out of the city, I believe some are still dotted around the city in similar style to the Superlambanana's. Other than getting to see all the effort people have put into making something fantastic and imaginative I got to see a lot of the city I would not normally see unless I had a bit of business in that area. I would often pass The Bluecoat on the way to Quiggins in years gone by, however, with the building of Liverpool One and the construction of its new pedestrian entrance on Church Street I rarely walk by. However, I could hear the penguin call which led me to another unrelated installation in the trees of The Bluecoat's trees, entitled Specimen Colony, a collection of brightly painted bird boxes which despite the magnificent architecture can be quite dark and dismal. This is the work of Scotish born artist Alec Finlay who did this work as part of the 2008 Bienial, I may come to things late but I am appreciative!
