In And Around The River Mersey My Continued Inspiration 2007 - 2019
The River Mersey Offers vast inspirational subject matters to be photographed,
apart
from Liverpool’s Waterfront,
which is of course fantastic!
Above
An image of Liverpool’s
Waterfront using the Grounds of Wallasey Town Hall in the Foreground on the
right, the photograph was taken looking over Wallasey Beach.
The Liverpool waterfront is seen in the distance.
Above An aerial perspective Taken looking back towards The Birkenhead And Wallasey Landscape, Wallesey Town Hall is on the far left of the landscape
and

Taken
in
West Kirby,
one of many fantastic places to visit if staying on Merseyside.
West Kirby is a town on the north-west corner of the Wirral Peninsula in Merseyside.
The photograph depicts, a yaht sailing on West Kirby Marine Lake, just in front of West Kirby Beach.
The view in the background is of the Welsh Hills.
A view of the River Mersey photographed from Halton.
The landscape belongs to Frodsham, Widnes and Warrington are nearby areas and the Cheshire Countryside.
I used the bend in the River to lead the eye to the yacht

Above People walking on Wallasey Beach have been used to add scale to the surroundings.
A 5mm white
border has been added to this picture,
to give the photograph "lift", presenting the image on a black
background would have had a “dulling effect” on the darker subject matters
photographed, such as the shadows on the grass.
Above The Castle was photographed from the left side showing two sides of the building allowing the Lighthouse to be recorded in the distance,
adding a
smaller element compared to the bigger castle adding scale to the photograph
Above
A
vessel on the River Mersey Close to Birkenhead, with a seagull flying above
the rays of light.
A photograph I took in the late 1990’s to early 2000’s on print negative film of The Johnnie Walker Statue At Liverpool’s Pier Head.
The Statue
was designed by Tom Murphy and has been at The Pier Head since 1998.
Above Photograph taken from Canal At Liverpool’s Pier Head.
Landmarks include Captain Johnnie Walker And The Liverpool Navy Memorial (also known as the Memorial to the Missing of the Naval Auxiliary Personnel of the Second World War or the Merchant Navy War Memorial).
A small crowd passes by the Liverpool Navy Memorial as clouds gather above The River Mersey, a view of Birkenhead is in the distance.
