Friday town shoot out, Plazas.

Oh dear, I have not got the shot I wanted for this shoot out. I took a trapeze lesson on Monday night and haven't been able to move since.I should be alright for this Monday's class, I love it! I have my work cut out for me. But I did take this picture in Liverpool city centre on the way there.

To me, this jaw dropping beautiful archway is a landmark for me personally. This is where you met up if you got lost (drunk) out with your friends on a Friday night. Since it was by a taxi rank, it was the place to be at the end of a good night out.

When I first came to Liverpool all those flying by years ago, this was the first thing I saw as I took the bus into town, living on my own in the big bad city! Actually it wasn't bad at all. I grew up in Belfast during the troubles. Nuff said. When I saw the archway, I jumped out of my seat and screeched out "Oh my god, that's brilliant!" much to the amusement to many Liverpudlians on the bus who thought I sounded like a tractor with my very heavy Belfast accent! I knew I was going to love living here and I do.

By chance I actually would of probably ended up at the archway at some point tonight as I was invited to a social gathering in town. But I politely declined. I can't move. But then again how could I?

These skies are made for gazing at.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, Tar Ra!

  3. The photo was great but I was stopped by "I took my first trapeze lesson..." There must be a story in that that I have missed.
