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!

Image of the Week #21

This week in image of the week:

This is one of the breathing towers for the Kingsway Mersey Tunnel. It’s a very imposing building on the skyline looking over to Liverpool where you can see it’s sister.

Although it’s not the prettiest structure in the world it still has it’s own charm. You can walk right underneath it (as I did) so I couldn’t fit it all in the frame, I would have to be in the middle of the River Mersey if I did. But when you do see it in full it looks a little like a huge pair of speakers!

It doesn’t apologize for what it is and does have some nice geometric qualities. It’s an interesting statement for something that’s just a really big fan…
