Lampost

This is one of the lampposts that are dotted around St George's Hall in the city centre. It's a lovely building. I walk past it every day and hardly ever climb the stairs for a closer look. I should. It is very nice.

Is There a Wedding On?

Apparently, there is some sort of Royal wedding tomorrow. It is fair to say that the city of Liverpool have not gone totally fuck nut crazy like the rest of the world! Apart from the big display at the main shopping arcade, these three measly strips of bunting were the only decorations around town today! 

Two for One

I am posting two photos today as I forgot to do one yesterday! Well I am new at this after all. This is one of the many Liverpool Echo vendors who sit on their little chairs all day selling the local newspaper. It has been the same men on the same pitches for years and years. I love these guys.

This was taken in the park across the road from where I live. I live in a suburb of Liverpool called Bootle and this is one of three parks in my particular suburb. There is South Park, North Park and Derby Park. I plan to take my camera to Derby park at some point for this blog as it is a lovely Victorian park with some great buildings and a bandstand. 

With the Tourists

So for my first photo I decided to go to the waterfront and be with the tourists. The weather was glorious today and there were a lot of tourists about. I was testing out my new Nikon camera before I unleash it upon Paris next week. After a while the battery ran down and my feet were getting a bit sore so I sat down for a cigarette next to the rubbish bin. I saw this grafitti and couldn't help myself, I took out my smart phone and snapped this using the polaroid setting on an app called Retro Camera. I'm not a massive fan of grafitti but I do like the sentiment :)

Liverpool Daily Photo

Welcome to my Liverpool Daily Photo. This is certainly not a new or original idea on my part! The reason I am doing this is that I am going on a lovely holiday to Paris very soon with my lovely girlfriend and while researching my trip I found Paris Daily Photo (www.parisdailyphoto.com). I was so enamoured by the blog that I have been through pretty much every page and loved every single photo. 

From that I followed some links on the Paris Daily Photo site and found out that there was a whole host of these daily photo blogs in a network so I have decided to do my own! I doubt that I am the first to do a Liverpool version but it is where I have lived my whole life so the decision was out of my hands!

The plan is for me to start updating from tomorrow (25th of April) as it is getting late now and it is very dark out! I hope I can do this wonderful idea justice. Thank you for reading.
