It can be a tranquil place, yet where it is borders on to a dump full of yobs / scallies / chavs!
The park was left to go to ruin years ago, but the council were shamed into putting it straight and looking after it again ( it is the first public park in the world and the inspiration for New York Central Park ). Since then it has been well looked after and can be a nice place.

It is good to here from you. Not long to the goths if you'r free.
I'd love to, but the timing is all wrong this year, I believe it is on the 5th Nov.
I just finished reading Dracula too, so I'm really in the mood for it.
Maybe next year

Loving pic 2, what a great reflection
Wish you had managed to get the top of the building in the reflection
Thnaks.
It would have been nice to get the whole building in, but I'd have needed a ladder. What you can't see is that the shoreline sits right at the bottom of the pic, in fact, i had to clone some nettles out to get that much

Just thought I'd say Hi Guys!!!
I haven't been posting much on here of late, haven't spent much time on line, or photography, or life really, just existing!.

Still, I haven't gone anywhere and I do lurk from time to time to see how you are all doing.
Hopefully life will settle down again soon and I'll get some time back. Funny thing is, I couldn't tell you what's taking the time, but something is

I had a little spare time one morning, so spent half an hour in Birkenhead Park.
The light was lovely when I first arrived, but it clouded over quite quickly.
Here are some of my shots. C&C welcome.

At the moment I'd be happy to photograph anything.
Other than school plays etc, my camera hasn't been out of its bag recently.
I took to bringing it to work with me, but I'm so time limited that even on my way home I haven't had chance to stop off anywhere, or when I have it's been lashing down!
Once I get home it isn't much better.
I need 28 hour days!!
No! Scrub that, either the boss or the wife would find an extra 4 hours of work for me

We went to Rufford Old Hall, near Ormskirk on Saturday. The weather didn't do me any favours ( overcast all day).
Anyhow, here's a couple from the day, maybe a few more to follow.
