Blisters have now finally healed and this week I visited Liverpool in the North West of England. It is many, many years since I was last there so there was much to see. Liverpool was a large port and much of its history is based in that area. Nowadays, as in many of our cities, the docks have gone and the warehouses have been transformed into fancy apartments, hotels and museums.
Around the Albert dock is the Maritime Museum, which includes the Slavery Museum and close by is the Tate Art Gallery
Close to the Albert Dock is the Open Eye Gallery which is great for reflections.
This is the Museum of Liverpool overlooking the River Mersey.

Albert dock looks as I remember it. What an amazing building the Museum of Liverpool is in.
ReplyDeletefantastic reflections from amazing buildings!
ReplyDeletewow- super reflections in those buildings
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're all healed up. Great shots. :-)
ReplyDeletewhat a cool place to visit, i think I would enjoy the gallery too :-)
ReplyDeleteAm glad the blisters healed! That museums and hotels have replaced the docks, does that mean the industries in Liverpool fared well? Interesting that they call the cart museum the Tate - just like in London... About your reply to the $5 bill - I didn't know that saying, but I will remember this one! (great to know for kids:) )
ReplyDeleteI'm happy the blisters are doing well :)
ReplyDeleteLovely reflections!
ReplyDeleteI really like the reflection off the building in your third photo!
ReplyDeleteGreat reflections of those windows of the buildings. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe architecture of today is always good for a few remarkable reflection shots.
ReplyDeleteI was there in the sixties, I wouldn't recognize anything I am afraid. Nice photos of the reflections.
ReplyDeleteQuite a mix of ultra modern and historic buildings. No doubt there would be so much to see if you had the time to explore further.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your feet have recovered! I enjoy seeing the mix of old and new buildings and it looks like you picked a beautiful day for this visit.
ReplyDeleteIt seems interesting city
ReplyDeleteA lot of glass makes for great reflections. I prefer the older brick and stone structures.
