Church Project

I want to do a bit more with projects because I’m enjoying my Project 365 so much. So I thought it would be interesting to concentrate on one type of subject, like Churches for instance. It will be good to explore a subject in more detail, and good practice. I chose Churches because I like architecture, and Churches are amazing examples of this.

These shots are of Birkenhead Priory the first Church that I wanted to shoot, mainly because it’s the oldest standing building on the Wirral (the first photograph) so I thought it was a good place to start.

The tall tower is St Mary’s Tower which was part of a later church that was built next to the old Priory.

Birkenhead Priory was also the first place where a ferry crossed the River Mersey, operated by the monks of the Priory.

You may think it a bit strange to see a ship in these photographs seeing as I’m looking at Churches, but it is the view from the top of St Mary’s Tower, looking over into Cammell Larids dock yard. The dock yard is literally feet away from the priory, it’s amazing what you can find right next to Churches!

Trying out the gallery feature!

I’m off on my themes again. Following on from last week here is another photograph I have took of the Royal Liver Buildings. Again from the Mersey Ferry which I think gives you one of the best views of the building.

At the moment there is a lot of construction on the Pier Head which you can see in the photo, due to Liverpool being the 2008 Capital of Culture, so there are some improvements taking place that will be great when they are finished.

This is a photograph of the HMS Bulwark while it was visiting Liverpool a couple of weeks ago, and is the newest in a long line of Bulwark’s. It’s a very impressive looking ship especially with the back drop of the Royal Liver Building, I took it while traveling on one of the Mersey Ferries so I got really close to it.

It was great to see it as my Uncle served on one of it’s predecessor’s the HMS Bulwark RO8 Commando Carrier, it was also used as an aircraft carrier but was scrapped in 1981 so seeing the new one is the nearest I’ll get to seeing my Uncle’s one.

I would have loved to have a look around it, but I can’t have everything can I!
