Liverpool council use "the world in one city" as a slogan.
I tried this shot yesterday. The building is the Port of Liverpool building and, as many will know, was the centre for Liverpool's growth as a major world port.
The road behind the building is called The Goree. Interesting to know that The Goree was an island near Cape Verde where slaves where kept before being shipped off to West, often via Liverpool. A number of buildings in Liverpool still have sub-cellars that were originally constructed to house slaves who were 'in transit'.
Liverpool has a slavery museum and it is a very emotional place to visit.
