The sight of
the submarine took me back a few decades to the famous song The Yellow
Submarine by the Beatles.
From what I saw, these boats are available on
hire (in docked condition) where you can have a party inside. Next to that is the Titanic and hence the tilt
to the aft in the boat.
The skyline
shows the modern buildings and the two birds watching over the city from the Royal Liver Building.
According to
popular legend, they are male and female pair, the female looking out to sea,
watching for the seamen to return safely home, while the male looks towards the
city to watch over and protect the families of the seamen. The liver bird is
the symbol of the English city of Liverpool. Most of the old buildings have this pulley system
to haul up the furniture, probably the stairs are too narrow to lug them up.
Liverpool is
a lively and happy happy place, famous for the birthplace of the Beatles. As
the plaque below says, the Beatles are synonymous with the city. I liked the
Bronze statue erected at the pier side and could be the most photographed
statue in Liverpool.
Penny
Lane could be the street that is most photographed. John Lenon and Paul McCartney
used to meet at Penny Lane to catch a bus to town. Their shared childhood
experiences on the street inspired them to write the song which was released in 1967
Drove around
and managed to get some pictures of Liverpool. (made a short video on it) The Metropolitan Cathedral built in 1967
has a modern look compared to the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.
The
suitcases you see at Hope Street are actually cast in concrete and if you look
closely you can see the names of people who were from the city of Liverpool
like Charles Dickens, , Henry Booth, Dr
Malcolm Sargent, Sir Robert Jones and The Beatles (all four).
And finally
a picture that I was looking for in Liverpool
