Two lovely, warm reminders of my home city Steve. It's been a while since I was in the Walker, but what a beautiful gallery it is. Similarly St George's Hall too.

And one poignant reminder of the sadness that it still beholds too - an all-too-common sight in the city centre unfortunately.

Great shots, Steve. Three very distinct shots that depict 3 of the most influential and defining factors in any society. It's a tough job trying to keep them in balance. Superimpose all of these shots, and you achieve that balance in Liverpool. Quality shots, sir! TFS

Thanks for these Steve. I had an office in Liverpool for 2 years, and the folks there are truly unique. A great city well deseved of the cultural title that was bestowed upon it. PAUL

Looking down at my beer stained shirt, I'm trying to figure out just where I fit in....

Oh Quiggins! I didn't even realise that shop was still going! Quite a cult following for it! Think I've only ever been in there once.
