Some thoughts and pictures from the
Beautiful Paradise Peninsula

(otherwise known as the Wirral)

This is my Wednesday

Tonight we decided to visit the new Museum of Liverpool down at the waterfront on our way home from work. It opened last summer, but we hadn't been inside yet.
The building is enormous, but to be honest I was a bit disappointed with the exhibits. There's lots to see, but I found it all a bit muddled. Lots of flavours of Liverpool's past, but in no particular order. We only had an hour, so we'll have to return another day.
 The view from this window was stunning, with the iconic Liver building in the background!
On our way back to the car, the sun was going down over the river across the Wirral where we live.
The buildings were fleetingly bathed in a golden glow.

I've never seen the Albert Dock looking so beautiful!

    Fabulous photos. I love the way you can see half of the ferris wheel above the buildings.

    It's great that you manage to get out and about after work. The Albert Dock looks lovely in that light.

    Kathy, those are wonderful photos! I love the early evening lights reflecting in the water of the dock and the view across the river to the Wirral. Also the Liver building through the museum window - you've really captured some super images:)
