Albert Dock Area

[Kev]

Chippie, it was very busy at ground level. Thanks for the comments It certainly looked very quiet from way up there.

[Kev]

..any ideas?

[chippie]

No but I do like it. Looks like the top of a lightship to me

Some sort of lighthouse maybe???

I'm not saying it is, because the vessel is till intact - but it looks like the top of the Planet lightship. This vessel is, of course, currently docked just around the corner from where the photo was taken.

Indeed it is, however, is the installation of this feature the end of the Lightship being in Liverpool?

Hmmm, reminds me of something! Could it be Vladimir Tatlin's tower - The Monument to the Third International (below)?

I can't find a thread for photos of the Albert Dock.

Here's something that made me smile.
Our policemen are getting smaller and smaller!

Nice one Phil. I'll dig out some Albie Dock pics although I'm sure there's a thread knocking around somewhere.

Philip, I noticed that about policemen too - the fact that they appear to be getting shorter !!
They must have changed the height requirements some time ago. I remember when policemen were big guys - 6 footers.

There's a police lady on one of the horses.
I saw her standing next to the horse one day and she couldn't have been taller than 4' 6".

Remember when all the policemen were older than you (and me)?

I wouldn't be too worried about the height of the policeman, it's the fact he's doing morris dancing that I find a concern !!!!

I would say all most Identical except for the glass beads, Do you think the artist is making a statement or as a lot of stuff that comes out of China a copy.
