Spotted behind the shops at the top of Victoria Road, New Brighton. I'd guess it's part of the greater art installations in the town

#NewBrighton

An alleyway behind some shops. A set of double yellow lines has been painted on the ground. They run from left to right and over the bonnet of a white van parked end on to a building

As I'm on a bit of a nostalgia kick, here's me drinking (probably)a pint of mild while sitting on the door of my friend Dave's Triumph Spitfire. It will be late 1970s and we're outside the Raby pub at Raby Mere Wirral

#Wirral

A twenty something man sitting on the door of an open top Triumph Spitfire in the late 1970s. The car is parked against a brick wall to the right, in front of a "Simon Templar" Volvo. The man has a pint of dark beer to his lips and he's dressed in a purple sweat shirt and blue chord trousers

Taken in the late 1970s, possibly very early 1980s, by the life guard station on Kings Parade in #NewBrighton

Two children standing on a sea wall getting soaked by a wave. The sky and sea are blue and the wave is white and foamy. The wave is frozen in time because of a high shutter speed.

I wasn't actually quick enough to capture the truly dramatically dark clouds, but this gives a good idea.

#Liverpool #River #Mersey

A view of Liverpool across the River Mersey. The sky is dark and cloudy to the left (over the city and river) but bright blue with fluffy white clouds on the right

some final work. So, it was popped up in the roof of the shed until the work could be completed. Harvey discovered it and immediately started to use it. It soon became "Harvey's house" and never ever moved again. It's still there with a a further kennel replacing the first.

The final picture of flowers from the scrub at the sea front.
Again, Google Lens tells me this is Creeping Buttercup (Ranunculus repens)

There small yellow flowers against green grass. Each flower is made up of four simple petals

A random pic from the past (scanned from a Kodachrome slide) of two kids getting soaked by waves cresting a sea wall. Picture is from the late 1970s taken in New Brighton, Wirral.

Third (and possibly the penultimate) plant from the seaside scrub.
Google Lens tells me this is Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis Vulneraria)

Small yellow flowers with pinky orange tips, similar in shape to clover flowers against green grass
