Liverpool ONE - Fashionable Fences Competition

Liverpool ONE - Fashionable Fences Competition
Sorry I got some new software for blogging and it appears I don't have the hang of it yet,
I went down to Liverpool One a couple of weeks ago and snapped their National Fences.

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.

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..
