It’s time for our day out again. Let’s go to Liverpool. Jude’s asked us to look for patterns, and to show them in black and white. Its public buildings, galleries and maritime landscape make Liverpool a good subject, so as it’s lockdown again tomorrow, let’s be off soon.

I love patterns and black and white makes them even more marked, you chose well.

Lovely patterns. And thanks for the virtual visit. Liverpool is one of the few cities that I have never been to.

That’s a pity. I do find it energetic and fun, as well as being a cultural hot-spot. Put it on the list!

It was on the list for this year. That worked out well. Not.

Brilliantly captured. There is something about only black and white photos can deliver.

Yes, often. Though the beach requires colour I think.

We were in Liverpool as a cruise stop several years ago. But – we headed to the train station to travel to Blackpool – not for the beach – but to dance in the famed ballroom. However, we also had a few hours at the end of the day to stroll around Liverpool.

A dancer! I should have guessed. Not me though. Lots of left feet and general clumsiness.

Great patterns. I love the gallery, but my favourite is the abstract at the top.

Great photos of patterns and Liverpool. I like the Cathedral windows and the Liver Building from the museum.

I wondered whether to include the cathedral windows. They really did benefit from their luminescent colour.

It has that surreal feel. An artistic shot.

It must be over 50 years since I was in Liverpool. Don’t think I’d recognise it now!

I don’t think you would. My husband’s from there and there was a lot he didn’t recognise.

Thank you. I meant to compare one or two of them with the originals in colour, but I didn’t quite get round to it.

I need to try to use more black and white images on my blog….but then I forget and get carried away with colour!

Lots of lovely patterns, Margaret! 🙂 🙂 I have to fight with the galleries a bit to get them to display the way I want. Still old school!

I know. You might have noticed that the gallery I’ve been using is the ONLY one I’ve been using, ‘cos it’s the only one I’ve got to grips with. Ah we. Something to tackle in lockdown …

A fine set of images. Black and white pictures so often make me notice more contrasts especially in pictures of buildings and architectural details. The photograph of the Museum’s swirling staircase is a prime example.

Ha ha … And that’s ok. We are social dancers … That is dance for fun. But COVID has stopped that activity. Oh … There will be future beach walks about dance.

I think these all work so well in black and white. I also like the grid display of the gallery photos each with photo titles/captions displayed.
I imagine you can still go for solo walks during lockdown?

Yes, we can. Or even with just one other person. Went for a VERY soggy underfoot walk with a friend yesterday.

Really evocative photos. It is some years now since I visited Liverpool. Hope soon we will be able to explore again. At present just local parks and the Marple canal paths. All very beautiful when it doesn’t rain.

Yes. Simple pleasures, especially with a new grandchild, can be satisfying.
