Liverpool, UK Perpetual beginner photographer. I post a mix of city and nature photos particularly of Liverpool and Anglesey (Ynys Môn). I'm also attempting to learn Welsh. Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg 🏳️‍🌈

A macro photo of a wasp-like hoverfly sitting on a purple flower. The fly is in focus compared to the soft, out of focus background of the flower. The photo shows tiny detail in the fly's head such as the individual units that make up its compound eyes.
The red sandstone interior of Liverpool Cathedral. The view is towards the stained glass west window of the cathedral. Light passing through stained glass windows to the left cast colourful patterns across the floor and walls
A selfie of a man standing in Exchange Flags in Liverpool. Rainbow coloured bunting appears above his head
A very wide panoramic view of London from Greenwich Park taken on a sunny spring day. The view takes in the O2 Arena on the right, across to Queen's House in the centre with the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf rising behind. The view carries on to the left taking in the towers of The City, and finishing with The Shard on the left of the picture.
A distant view of Liverpool city centre. The foreground is green countryside while the buildings of Liverpool sit behind. They appear small due to the large distance.
A selfie of a man at the top of a mountain with another mountain in the background. The sky is blue with fluffy white clouds.
A black and white picture of a bronze statue of a coxswain of a lifeboat. He is holding on to the boats wheel. It is shot looking up at his face from below.
A stone path leads up from the bottom of the picture up to a rocky fan shaped mountain with dark grey clouds behind. There are small patches of blue sky showing through in places. The grasses have taken on the more yellow colour of autumn.
An zoomed image of Liverpool's football stadium seen from an elevated viewpoint over 2 miles away (~3.8 km). The image has been heavily edited to darken the foreground and background. The stadium has been selectively lightened to make it stand out.
A view down a green, Welsh valley on an autumn afternoon. The colours are warm with high contrast clouds in the sky. A lake is visible in the middle of the picture.
The view up to the vault of a red/pink sandstone cathedral. The ceiling is flanked by stained glass windows above and below
The top of a tall (138m) concrete observation tower. The most prominent structure is the glazed "crows nest" that housed the viewing gallery and former studios of the Radio City station. The name of the station is displayed in yellow lettering that circles the crows nest.
A new football stadium that has been built next to the River Mersey in Liverpool. The stadium is large in the centre of the frame. There are other buildings and trees in the foreground. The river and the Wirral are visible behind the stadium as is the orange sky of sunset.
A panoramic view across a section of a city showing a cluster of tall buildings. The scene is misty which adds a hazy quality to the buildings. The sky behind the buildings is a warm yellow/orange of sunset.
An image showing hazy distant mountains above the horizon and blue sea.
A sunset view across a beach at the mouth of a river over to the land on the other side. The sky is coloured with warm oranges, pinks with some dark clouds warmly lit below.
