Formidable Photography : A Liverpool Photoblogcreative images from in & around Liverpool

Taken at Mossley Hill train station, bored waiting for a train to Warrington.

Last of the shots of the big wheel, for now anyway.  Trying to find a different angle of the wheel, this shot was taken from the Liverpool Marina.

Second shot of the new wheel on the waterfront - still disappointed it's not the other way round so it'll be more visible from the Wirral side (the Liverpool One wheel was mostly obscured by other buildings) but no-one ever thinks of the photographers....

One of two shots of the wheel I managed to get before being moved on by Arena security (very politely, it must be said.)  The wheel is 60 foot high and you're supposed to be able to see all the way to Wales on a good day - not been on yet so I'll reserve judgement. I can't make my mind →

Spotted outside Boodle & Dunthorpes.

I wanted to get a photo of the Liverpool skyline with the Liverpool One wheel in it before it was taken down but only managed to get over to the Wirral on Friday night when it was very windy and the river was very choppy, so no nice reflections and I couldn't get an angle to get the wheel without →

I took this photo at Hoylake a couple of weekends ago - I haven't been so cold in a long time!  I was struggling to get steady shots with a tripod as I was dithering so much - there was a mother and daughter there at the same time trying to get the same shot but with a tiny compact →

Last of the snow posts - it's weird how permanent the snow seems when it first falls and yet it's gone so quickly - it's also odd how fast the snow goes from "Oooooh, pretty!" to "Pain in the arse this snow, can't wait for it to melt!". Anyway, back to the shot - I liked how the blue of the →
