LIVER Birds Liverpool

LIVERPOOL CCTV

I know legend has it that if these birds fly away that the city of Liverpool will fall but I think this is going a bit too far !

( Original images not cropped or edited just shrunk in size for net , perhaps a little out of context )

Due to Merseyrail being useless at dealing with a bit of rain I had an early visit to Liverpool today and made the most of it 



Had a visit to Liverpool Museum pictured above ( Really Great ) and Open Eye Gallery on Mann Island  Link to website here : OPEN EYE GALLERY


I really liked the way they displayed the voyeuristic work of Kohei Yoshiyuki with the images hung in a darkened room, only seen by torchlight .....

The Hunt for Red October is now over as I found out that one of the 'subs' built by Paramount for the film is now a floating 'Yellow Submarine' in the harbour and inside is a Scooter originally used in the film Quadrophenia !


YELLOW SUBMARINE STORY

There is also the 'Joker' Boat that was apparently used in the Batman film where Jack Nickholson played the Joker but scenes involving the boat were cut from the final edit ( not sure why it would have been amazing watching the joker escape at speeds of up to 5MPH hoping that Batman wouldn't catch up to him on the locks .  Better off running away form spiderman over water really ....)


OH and I found this . Looks like Liverpool have banned standing in a Cockney manner , swimming and playing BBC'S Big red Wipeout balls on the Albert Dock
NO SWIMMING , STANDING IN A COCKNEY MANNER  OR WIPEOUT BALLS

THEN I SAW THIS VAN PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK
HE HE they'll never find me here...
