Tomorrow is Liverpool’s 800th birthday. Today it currently looks a little like its been bombed. I wanted this shot to have a post-war feel to it. Its not often you get the chance to document Liverpool after WWII. Tomorrow is going to be one insane day. I have shots that I absolutely must get for the 800 project. I have shots that I absolutely must get to document the 800th birthday too. I’ll never see the 900th. Its going to be a very long, tiring day. The weather is meant to be sunny with clouds, in theory perfect. Tomorrow would be a full days work without one of the other events. I need another me but then that would be splitting the memories and I’d prefer to do it all.

I think it says on the signing of the charter in 1207.

Interesting, echos what I commented on your other photo to Max, that the rubble makes for good photo opportunities. And I agree - when I first saw the demolition work on Mann Island, I immediately thought 'Blitz!'. In fact, were it not for the digger and the tower cranes, that could be straight out of the war...

I like it.

Max lacks confidence to try and sneak onto these sites too Mr Ian.:razz:

I'm guessing by Pete's focal length (43mm) that it was taken from the fence. I took some there myself just before Voss Motor Co. got ripped down, and mine were all through the gaps in the fence. You don't always need to sneak in!

Yup I stood by the fence and pointed my camera over it.

Might try then If I see a gap In the fence.

Just want to avoid being questioned.

If you get questioned on the outside of the site, then just say you're taking photos of the development work. No byelaws there preventing it. Stand your ground and tell them to phone the Police if they're bothered!
