This was the Friday night before Eurovision and Liverpool was very busy....and noisy with bands blasting out on the Pierhead.
My back up plan of St.George's Halls magnificent columns was cut short when someone told me it was covered in Eurovision flags and all the acts were doing a practice run there.
The Albert Dock was paddle board central and never quite became still enough for a full reflection of Luke Jerram's Floating Earth. The police had three patrol dinghies out moving between both Canning and Albert Docks and drones hovering over both.
Anyway, Canning Dock settled enough to get a blue hour shot in with the museum lit up in the Eurovision colours.
The more than life-sized Beatles statue (2015) facing Liverpool's Pier Head is dwarfed by the "Three Graces" in the background, (the somewhat baroque-ish Royal Liver Building of 1911, the Cunard Building of 1917 in its Italian renaissance style, both outside this image) and the Port of Liverpool Building of 1907, (Edwardian Baroque). Together with a couple of museums and the Tate Gallery on the Pier Head, this assemblage tells the story of Liverpool's considerable maritime and mercantile prowess and its international cultural importance. Interestingly, I found the "spirit" in this attractive city to be decidedly unpretentious and egalitarian through and through. Fuji X100F.

The back streets of Liverpool's centre are a minefield of delight. This is a bicycle repair yard, incase you couldn't guess.
Did you know: Liverpool Anglican Cathedral is Britain's biggest Cathedral, and took 74 years to build from the foundation stone being laid in 1904. visitliverpool.com
