Looking Up

Liverpool is not considered one of England's main tourist destinations. For many reasons, that's a shame. It seems most of the visitors come on weekends for football or a hen do - lots of drinking and noise on Friday and Saturday and then obviously hungover folk dragging their suitcases down the pavement to Lime Street Station on Sunday afternoon. Liverpool on a Monday is a very peaceful place.

So wandering slowly around the city streets, camera in hand, was bound to get me a few curious glances. People busily on their way to work or beginning their Christmas shopping swerved around me. They looked up in the direction my camera was pointed. Seeing nothing particularly camera-worthy, they moved on.

Liverpool must have supported many talented stonemasons when the heart of the city was built. Stone ornament on old buildings is one of things I love about England. We don't have a lot of that sort of thing in Seattle.
