taking photos of shipping on the Mersey.These are just a few of
them,he's got thousands more!

I really enjoyed scrolling through your photos. I surf blogs to see what the rest of the world is up to. I stumbled upon yours and really enjoyed my visit. Thanks for sharing your part of the world with me. MARK

Those are vibrant photos. Such images make me wonder what tales those ships could tell.

Nice shots Angie. Is this the Mersey that Herman's Hermits sang about?

Thanks for the clarification about the band that sang the song Angie - it has been years since I heard it, but I very clleary remember the tune and some of the words - how time flies :)

Great series!
One time i sailed with my husband cross The Pacific and The Atlantic Ocean into The Mediterranean Ocean.
A once in a lifetime experience.
Every time i see a ship on the ocean i`m sendig a warm thought to the crew onboard. ;)

..."so ferry cross the Mersey, cause this land's the place I love and here I'll stay"...
I loved that song growing up.
These photos are awesome. The colors against the sky are beautiful.

I'm so sorry I called your husband your dad...apparently I was in too big of a hurry. I was slow getting on here so was trying to make up for lost time.

Pretty color that of the ships. The contrast with the sky and the water is of an effect precious.

What a nice selection of images. Those ships appear almost as large as the clouds. They must be huge. I wonder where they've been and where they're going.
