The Tall Ships race started today from Liverpool as part of Liverpool’s celebrations for being the Capital of Culture 2008.

This photograph was taken on Saturday when we went over to Liverpool to visit the Tall Ships in Albert Dock.

The Tall Ships last visited Liverpool in 1984 and 1992, so it’s been 16 years since they were last here. Wow that makes me feel old!

So I was really pleased when I saw that they were coming this year, and made sure that I went to see the Parade of Sail that happened today.

It’s the first time I’d seen it, and it was an impressive sight seeing all the ships sailing down the River Mersey.

This has got to be one of my all time favourite photographs (of mine), I love finding a chance to take a photo slightly differently and although on it’s own Albert Dock (in Liverpool) is a very interesting and historic subject I thought it’s reflection would look just as good.

It’s one of those photos that I didn’t plan, it just struck me as I was walking along. The restaurant hadn’t opened yet so the table at the window was empty except for the salt and pepper pots! You may also notice my son’s head appearing at the bottom of the shot.

I love the architecture of the old warehouses around Albert Dock and the contrast of the more modern restaurant facade frames the shot nicely. I’m sure there could be improvements to be made but I didn’t have much time between passers by and my son! For my first reflection shot though, I am pleased with the results.
