Autumn in the City

Cleveland Square and the Anglican Cathedral, Liverpool, 3rd October 2008

A chance to wander through the new centre of Liverpool last week. Huge changes to the fabric of the old Chavasse Park and the old streets leading down to the Dock Road - more of this on the landscape writings blog I think. But I was also intrigued by the trees, the natural landscape tamed and imported to decorate the new walkways and 'streets'. Suddenly, from a walkway, I looked down into Cleveland Square and I could see a blush of autumn colour caught by the sun through the buildings; it would make an interesting project to see a city as a wild space divided by buildings rather than a concrete landscape decorated with trees and parks.
