Final Sunrise of 2008

As I hadn't been out early to shoot any sunrise images recently I decided that this morning would be a good opportunity to do just that. It was cold but worth it!

Some windmills near Crosby beach, north of Liverpool (I guess technically it's Bootle). There is actually a large offshore windfarm in Liverpool bay (which you can see in this shot).

It was a windy day in that part of Merseyside!

I've had this idea of taking more shots of neon signs around Dublin. We don't really have an impressive array of these signs like you might find in other cities but there are a few nice ones so I'll try to find some of them & get them up here.

This is the International bar & comedy venue on Wicklow Street, Dublin.

I'd been meaning to get out to see Antony Gormley's 'Another Place' installation for some time, so on a recent trip to Liverpool I managed to get a quick trip out to Crosby beach.

It's impressive - something like 100 of these statues strung out along 5 kilometres of the shoreline. My visit was on a windy december day, but it was definitely worth making the effort.
