Art in the street

Wandering back up the hill from town today I spotted this unique sculpture. I didn't see any information on it so if you know what it is all about please let me know and I will link to the artist!

It is located at the bottom of Bold Street outside the old Lyceum Post Office.

Biennial 2010 - The First Retrospect

For what must have been for the 2010 Biennial the old Rapid Hardware Garden Centre on Renshaw Street, was transformed into a multi coloured streamer, though I did initially and still do have a nagging thought that it looks like one of those tacky room divides that you get caught up in when entering a kitchen.

If you know anything about the artist or the display please let me know and I will post more information, I didn't see anything in the Biennial leaflet.

Liverpool Heritage Walk

Every day I mostly walk the same roads and routes, this is partly why I started this blog to get me out and about and to look at new sights which Liverpool has to offer.

A few years ago we visited Boston USA and walked the Freedom Trail which saw us visiting the most famous land marks, such Paul Revere's house Quincy Market etc. Little did I realise part of my daily route have a similar historical walk. I was stood on one of the markers outside Roscoe gardens, after searching on the net I found this to be the most useful site - Liverpool 08 Downloads, it contains a lot of information including maps and audio tours, please do check this out!

As soon as I am able I will take it upon myself to walk them all and report back with my findings photos and comments. However, here is my first marker.

A New Beginning

Last week I met up for lunch with the Merseytart who informed me he had removed me from his blog watch panel. I am thinking it will take me 5 regular posts to get back on the list which in essence isn't a problem, I have plenty of photographs I just need to add the text.

Keeping my eyes open meant I am seeing some truly unusual stuff around the city, it also means I have a new appreciation for graffiti art, for which I have in the past condemned the mindless spray painting of a few letters or a name. I feared that I would then end up giving the city a bad name. But I have been told to draw caution to the wind and get on with it!

It isn't a quite time for me either I am a father of 1 girl with a 2nd only weeks away from delivery. I am designing a new website whilst mulling over another huge project. I will be starting a new role in my company which means learning new things and fast!

So just a few things going on!

I also have a new blog up and running what I know and what I have learnt.

just before I go I will leave you with this photograph which I walk past often just to see it as it brings a smile to my face.
