The world in one city
 
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.

Nice shot. Sorry to ask. But do you have any shots that will put an image to Beatles Memories? Looks like a beautiful city.

Depends what you mean about Beatles memories. I haven't got any of Penny Lane or Strawberry Fields (which they are closing down) yet.
