Over the Christmas holiday period, St Georges Hall, Liverpool installed a skating rink in its magnificent main hall. / / To good an opportunity to miss, we went across the river and snapped away. The rink was this odd plastic stuff which you can’t really skate on properly, but it looks quite good. I wanted to get the ethereal movement of the skaters with this one. A 3-second exposure did the job. / / © photogenique (dave peddie): using this image for any purpose and in any way, without prior permission, may lead to legal action. / / Do check out GailD’s great portfolio / / / /

This is actually a sewage pumping station at New Brighton, Wirral, UK. Part of it is supported on these huge concrete pillars which go down deep into the sand on the beach below. On this particular day the tide was low, and i managed to capture the low sun creating these fantastic shadows onto the water and the concrete wall. It is built on the site of the old New Brighton pier which was demolished in 1963. / In its heyday New Brighton was a huge tourist attraction, with thousands of holiday makers travelling from all over the northwest and arriving by ferry at the pier. / Just a couple of hundred yards from the pier was the famous New Brighton Tower, the tallest in the country. It was even taller than Blackpool tower, but sadly, was demolished in 1921.

This is a painting I did three years ago. It was intended as a tribute to the great city of Liverpool, England and whilst being a bit whimsical it did include images of the Anglican Cathedral, the Catholic Cathedral, Saint John’s Beacon and of course the Beatles. I swapped it with a popular Vancouver (Canada) artist, John Ferrie, for one of his lovely floral acrylics. I wish I’d never swapped now … although I still like John’s painting and it still / hangs on our wall. Owing to a misunderstanding of English etiquette, when I sent John a photo of his painting hanging on our wall he failed to reciprocate. A photo of my painting hanging on John’s wall would have meant an awful lot to me, ‘cos I really respected the guy. Instead of good-naturedly returning my compliment, he claimed I was forcing him to “jump through hoops” when I reminded him a month later. He refused to take the photo and stopped emailing me, claiming I must be suffering from depression … sad, but these things happen and I wish him no ill … he’s a good artist and was a good friend while it lasted. Wherever you are John, I wish you a happy 2009.

Here is some info on the Cathedral: / The largest cathedral in Britain, the 2nd largest Anglican Cathedral in the world and the 5th largest Cathedral in the world. / A 3 shot HDR. / Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral — the Cathedral Church of Christ — is a real record-breaker. It is the largest cathedral in Britain, its bells have the highest and heaviest peal in the world, and its Grand Organ, with 9,765 pipes, is the biggest in the UK. / In 1903, two years after the decision to build was made, a competition for its design was won by the then unknown 22-year-old architect Giles Gilbert Scott. In 1904 King Edward VII laid the foundation stone but, although the Lady Chapel was completed in 1910, the main part of the Cathedral was not consecrated until 1924. Building work continued for decades, only being completed in 1978. / The Cathedral has been the spiritual focus for the people of Liverpool in times of national mourning — memorial services have been held there for the victims of the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, John Lennon and murdered hostage Ken Bigley / Shot with a Nikon D300 and 10-20mm lens. / 5 shot HDR tonemapped image.. /

Greeting card sale June 2009 / This was shot in the Liverpool Anglican cathedral. Liverpool Cathedral was recently announced as the first winner of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce Arts Award. / / The award is designed to stimulate Liverpool’s tradition of patronage by rewarding the company or organisation who funded the best publicly available art in Liverpool in the last five years. / / The piece, titled For You by Tracey Emin, RA takes the form of a pink neon wall mounted sign in Tracey’s own handwriting carrying the message ‘I felt you and I knew you loved me’ The judges were impressed with this dual personal and spiritual message in such a sacred space. The Cathedral Church of Christ, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s masterpiece, is built on St. James’ Mount and is visible from miles around: “a visible witness for God in the midst of the great city”. / The decision to build was taken under the leadership of Bishop Francis James Chavasse, second Bishop of Liverpool, in the summer of 1901. / After an open competition, a design by an unknown 22-year-old architect was chosen. In 1904 King Edward VII laid the Foundation Stone in the presence of 7,000 people. Building began at the East end and, by means of a series of temporary walls, the whole building moved towards completion. / The Lady Chapel was dedicated on St. Peter’s Day 1910 and the main part of the Cathedral, including the Sanctuary, Chapter House, Chancel and Eastern Transepts, was consecrated on 19th July 1924, 20 years to the day after the laying of the Foundation Stone. / The first services were held in the newly completed Central Space in the dark war-time days of 1940. That part of the city was heavily bombed but miraculously the Cathedral sustained only minor damage and the final finial on the Tower was set in 1942. Work had to proceed slowly after the war but the Bridge and the first bay of the Nave was completed in 1961. / Crippling inflation made the completion of the building a difficult task but in October 1978 Queen Elizabeth II attended the service to mark the completion of the largest Cathedral in Britain. / shot towards the Western Porch. / Shot with a Nikon D300 and 10-20 mm Sigma lens / 3 shot HDR tonemapped image. /
