From Way Up High: Liverpool Life at Dusk

Until 26th November 2009, the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool is allowing evening access to the tower roof.  A new lighting system has been installed which means visitors are now able to enjoy a very unique view of Liverpool after dark until 8pm on Thursdays excluding 5th November which is a real shame.

I’ve been on the roof before and it really is a spectacular view over not just the city centre, but also of the surrounding suburbs and even across the Mersey to Wirral.

Last week, I was on the roof again as the sun was setting and I took the opportunity to shoot a time lapse sequence.  Unfortunately, my tripod was resting on some wobbly floorboards which people kept treading on throughout the sequence.  So, there’s a degree of jitteriness caused by camera movement, but I really enjoy watching the resultant clip because it reminds me there’s so much life going on all over the city.
