If you ever get the chance to visit Liverpool (and I hope you do) you will soon notice the all consuming obsession with the Beatles wherever you go in the city. If anything time has only added to the legend that surrounds this extraordinary band of four musicians that literally changed the face of music in the early 60s and continued to innovate until their breakup 10 years later. Cheeky, funny, and ultra talented the Beatles reigned supreme in the pop music world for all of that time.
These larger than life bronze statues celebrating the fab four are by sculptor Andy Edwards and sit in the area on the River Mersey referred to as Pier Head, very close to the fabulous Royal Liver building. It's such a popular attraction that it's actually quite difficult to get a shot like this because there are hordes of tourists surrounding the artwork from dawn till dusk, all of them waiting their turn to nestle in amongst the statues for their own 'Beatles moment'. And who can blame them!

Eni UK, the company which owns and operates the oil and gas fields in Liverpool Bay, is currently completing some activity on the wells which connect to the oil and gas fields under Liverpool Bay.
This activity includes decommissioning the majority (around 55) of wells as they reach the end of their production life.
Alongside this well decommissioning activity is the need to convert around 11 wells so they can be reused to store carbon dioxide in the reservoirs, as part of the wider HyNet Carbon Capture and Storage project.
This project will allow carbon dioxide emissions from hard to abate industry in the north west of the UK to be stored in depleted gas reservoirs under Liverpool Bay, as part of the UK’s Net Zero target.

The last of the light bathing the waterfront in sunshine.
The plan was to take photos of the moonrise which was a few minutes before sunset. Figured i had a bit of time to send the drone up for a quick panorama.

The Port of Liverpool building, reflected in the new black glass and polished black granite 'Longitude' building on Mann Island.
Wikipedia.
The three buildings are to the south of the Mann Island roadway, opposite the Port of Liverpool Building, and are numbered (from east to west) No.1, No.11 and No.15 Mann Island.
No.15, next to the Museum of Liverpool, is called the Latitude building and No.11 is the Longitude building. Connecting the two is a double-height glass atrium called Equator House which often hosts RIBA architectural displays and launch events for the Open Eye Gallery next-door. Both Latitude and Longitude are mixed commercial and residential spaces, with restaurants, cafés and galleries on the ground floor, and accommodation starting on the 2nd floor. There is a gap in the 1st floor, that was originally meant to be a mezzanine for the commercial spaces below, but this has now been adapted as private open plan office and co-working space. No.1 Mann Island, next to the Strand, is occupied almost entirely by the offices of the Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, Merseytravel and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. Two levels of car-parking extend beneath the Latitude and Longitude buildings, which is shared between residents and Merseytravel and Combined Authority staff.
Mann Island is home to the RIBA North gallery, opened in 2017.
While at Pier Head on our walk...let's catch the ferry. This is one of the two current craft operating. The 60+ years old craft, with it's rather garish paintjob by Peter Blake...( Peter Blake is most famous for The Beatles Sgt Pepper album cover. )
This, thankfully, will soon be replaced by a new, larger and more tastefully liveried ferry, currently under construction at Cammel Laird's shipyard, on the Mersey.

Liverpool Cathedral is the Church of England Cathedral of the Diocese of Liverpool, built on St James's Mount in Liverpool and is the seat of the Bishop of Liverpool.
The cathedral is based on a design by Giles Gilbert Scott. The total external length of the building, including the Lady Chapel (dedicated to the Blessed Virgin), is 189 m making it the longest cathedral in the world; its internal length is 150 m. In terms of overall volume, Liverpool Cathedral ranks as the fifth-largest cathedral in the world and contests with the incomplete Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City for the title of largest Anglican church building. With a height of 101 m it is also one of the world's tallest non-spired church buildings and the third-tallest structure in the city of Liverpool. The cathedral is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. (Source: Wikipedia)

A brief Beatles Based whistle stop tour of Liverpool recently. Only took my phone so please don't zoom in on the pictures as you won't like what you find!
btw, if you ever find yourself there with 90mins on your hands, do the Blue Route Beatles bus tour. Voted 10th best tour attraction in the World on Trip Advisor for a reason. We toured, we laughed, we learned and we sang! Best bus trip ever!!
