Liverpool Sunset by Denis Chambers
You can't beat the occasions when someone you know passes you a computer disk or a stack of papers and says "I thought you might like this for the blog". It was a computer disk which was handed to me at the pub the other evening by my good friend Denis : and on it I discovered six fabulous images of a sunset at the Albert Docks, Liverpool. I spoke to Denis later and he told me that the pictures were not planned, he just spotted the spectacular sunset one evening and captured them with a small pocket digital camera. The filenames underline this relaxed approach : they are simply called Liverpoolsnap1, Liverpoolsnap2 etc. It is a pleasure for the blog to be used to feature such great photography.
This is my last post for a week as we are about to leave for a few days in Munich. The GLW has always wanted to visit a German Christmas Market and I am hoping that in addition to markets such as this, we will have time to visit some of the stunning museums and sample some of the magnificent architecture of the Bavarian city. To keep you occupied in my absence, I thought I would leave you with a little competition. At the end of this post you will find a scan of our answer paper from last Fridays' quiz. Given the answers, your task is to work out what the questions were! This, of course, is a doubly complex jeopardy because - as you can clearly see - several of our answers were wrong! Denis - of Liverpool sunset fame - is banned from this competition as he set most of the questions. See you all next week.

ReplyDeleteIf someone handed me a computer disk in a pub, I'd think they mistook me or a News of the World reporter.
ReplyDeleteJust shows that good photography is sometimes about capturing the moment, and not getting too bogged down with the technicalities.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.
A beautiful shot. Have a good trip.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit, the views and the food...maybe you'll run into St. Nicholas while you're there too! As for this photo, it's one I call, Dreamy! Tell your friend thanks for sharing them!

Great sunset photo..your friend is very talented or has a great camera!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it winter in Bavaria..that beer garden would be a great place to sit a spell in the summer ..but in the winter really Alan..perhaps you should pack a hot water bottle to keep you warm whilst you sit out there! I can see you only have one thing on your mind for this trip..have fun! :)
