The docks in Liverpool




It's a real pleasure walking along the docks in Liverpool. This photograph was taken from the ferry across the Mersey and it's quite a panoramic view





Looking a bit closer, the modern buildings along Princes Dock
 
 
 


Still on the ferry, the Three Graces, the Museum of Liverpool





a closer look at that fantastic Museum of Liverpool





Moving along, the Museum of Liverpool again, and the Albert Docks, with the Echo Wheel behind





zooming in on the last picture





a closer look at the Albert Docks with the Anglican Cathedral behind





the Museum of Liverpool and the Mann Island development behind.





We spent quite a lot of time walking around Albert Dock





Sculpture of Billy Fury by Tom Murphy





such a mixture of styles, all blending in together





the warehouses have been restored beautifully





and they're full of bars and restaurants





another view of a section of the Albert Dockwith the Museum of Liverpool between the warehouses





the light suddenly changed










The Maritime Museum also incorporating the Slavery Museum





and what about this?






This old warehouse has been converted into offices





the Echo Wheel





echoes of Liverpool's industrial and maritime past everywhere





the old blending with the new





on the Strand.
