algy Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 The following pictures were taken at the River Mersey in the vicinity of Liverpool on Monday afternoon. 4th July 2011. Otterspool promenade was very quite with few people around, whereas Blundell Sands at Little Crosby was very busy, both have well paved wide promenades providing a safe (daytime) walking environment and at river high tide from an hour before and an hour after give excellent ship photography opportunities, telephoto lens shots are a must and for best results use a tripod. Otterspool Promenade. It's hard to believe that you are less than two miles from Liverpool City center at 2.00pm with very few people about.

P J Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Here's one of mine from near there Algy, a bit soppy but I like it. The flock of seabirds in the top right were almost a heart in shape so I took the liberty of trimming a few for effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
