Here comes the twenty-second mystery location post of this year….
After the difficulty with last week’s Dryburgh Abbey in Scotland, I thought that I’d go for something much easier… Let’s see if that is the case! I know that at least one person will get this one!
Not perfect weather, but it’s still interesting!

The hammer could fall on this topic pretty quickly!

A Fresh Perspective Photography is more than just a vehicle for capturing the world around me; it provides me with a palette and a set of brushes, with which I paint not only what I see, but also look to express the emotions that are evoked by the scene in front of me in that moment. Growing up in the Netherlands exposed me to a wide cross-section of visual arts that laid the foundation of my photographic view of all that surrounds me. Early influences were the Dutch Masters of the 17th century, to whom I was introduced by my grandfather during museum explorations; favorites among them are the scenes of quotidian life depicted by Jan Steen and Frans Hals and the vivid landscapes of Jacob van Ruisdael. My classical high school education was supplemented by the Boijmans Van Beuningen museum, where I spent many a lunch hour exploring its great collection. Here I was introduced to surrealism with a particular love for the approach taken by Salvador Dali; Dali also rekindled my appreciation for the work of Hieronymus Bosch, who often showed the folly of us mortals. Universal Connections My approach to any photographic subject is to look for understanding first; in this I look to establish either a connection between the viewer and the subject or capture the connection of the subject with its surroundings. The captured image then aims to portray this connection from a perspective that is part of my personal interpretation. This interpretation is often a form of externalized introspection, which may alternately display the connection of isolated beings and items with their environment or highlight the whimsy of the profound world, in which we find ourselves. The universe is full of connections, many of which are waiting to be discovered; part of my journey as a photographer is to document these connections. Any assignment, be it an event, a product shoot or a portrait session is always approached through communication with the client; this is where the first connection is established. Ideas are exchanged and a collaborative plan of action forms, ultimately resulting in a set of images that aim to exceed the expectations of each client. And, lest we forget, it is important to have fun while practicing the serious business of photography! View all posts by jansenphoto
I’m guessing it’s Liverpool. Looks like one of Ugo Rondinone’s sculptures
You must have been here! Correct!
yes, I was. I also saw a similar sculpture he did just outside of Las Vegas
That seems to have been easy. But a great photo (notwithstanding the weather).
Thank you! It’s a bit rainy, but clearing up in the next day.
I did not know the answer to this having never been (yet) to the UK. I am planning a future trip and this was a cool post/photo! Thanks!
Thank you! I’m here to see some football on Sunday $
Ahhh – ? Liverpool Fan ? or the team they are playing? We watch a lot of soccer in our house because my son plays for his HS – going to playoffs today, in fact! Enjoy!
Liverpool fan! Virgil is my favorite player.
Nice that you get to see him play then! Enjoy!
It sure is Liverpool my home city. Fab picture, I actually took a picture of it myself on Friday and it was also raining 🙂
Lol! I took this picture on Friday, as I’m in Liverpool for the weekend and excited to see the match tomorrow afternoon.
We could have passed each other at some point. I hope you enjoy the match tomorrow.
As long as they win 🙂 it’s fun exploring the city
There is definitely a lot to do in Liverpool. I hope they win for you, my husband will be watching as well although not there. Hope you have plenty of fun 🙂
I knew it was Liverpool having seen photos of the sculpture before. I didn’t post until it had been identified. Enjoy the game.
