Mercoledì 14 Agosto “Nutro un affetto smisurato per Liverpool; è forse la mia città preferita. Ma dà decisamente l'impressione di un luogo con più passato che futuro. Guardando il lungo litorale inerte dal parapetto del ponte, si stenta a credere che per duecento floridi anni, e fino a non molto tempo fa, i sedici km del porto di Liverpool abbiano direttamente o indirettamente garantito lavoro a centomila persone. Tabacco proveniente dall'Africa o dalla Virginia, olio di palma del Pacifico del Sud, rame del Cile, juta dall'India e quasi ogni altra merce possibile e immaginabile passava da qui prima di raggiungere la sua destinazione finale e trasformarsi in qualcosa di utile...Liverpool divenne una delle città più ricche dell'Impero, terza solo a Londra e a Glasgow. Nel 1880 produceva più entrate per il fisco di Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield messe insieme, nonostante la loro popolazione fosse due volte maggiore. Le società Cunard e White Star Lines avevano la loro sede a Liverpool, al pari di altre numerose compagnie di navigazione ora completamente dimenticate: la McAndrews Line, la Elder Demspter, la Booth. A Liverpool operavano un tempo più compagnie di navigazione di quanto siano le navi rimaste oggi, o così almeno sembrava, osservando un litorale dove l'unico suono era l'eco spettrale delle note di Gerry and The Pacemakers. Il declino si consumò nel breve arco di tempo di una generazione. Nel 1966 Liverpool era ancora il secondo porto più importante della Gran Bretagna dopo Londra. Nel 1985 era ormai più piccolo e tranquillo perfino di Hartlepool, Grmsby e Immingham. Ma all'apice del suo successo era stata una città veramente speciale. Il commercio marittimo non portò solo benessere e posti di lavoro, ma anche un aria cosmopolita che poche città al mondo potevano vantare, e di cui qualcosa è rimasto. A Liverpool ci si sente ancora in un posto importante.” (Notizie da un'isoletta di Bill Bryson). Quest'ultima affermazione del mio amico Bryson ci ha guidati nei due splendidi giorni passati in questa grande città che mantiene tuttora il suo grande carisma e ci ha affascinati tutti. Tra stadi,musiche e folclore dei tifosi di Liverpool e Everton spesso alticci ma simpaticissimi nell'abbracciare mio figlio che per par condicio ha vestito entrambe le maglie delle due gloriose squadre, ci siamo rivisti nelle letture del nostro amico scrittore. Ne vale proprio la pena venire qui perchè a Liverpool ci si sente proprio in un posto importante! Buona visione.

Technically impeccable and evocative image in the frame. I read your description with interest. Every nation, region, city, has historically suffered flourishing moments or unstoppable declines. Personally, I owe a lot to this city that paved the way for modern rock with the Beatles. And sorry if it's little.
congratulations.
bye gios ;-)

I visited London, which I found very interesting photographically speaking, surely Liverpool will also have its charm, perhaps a little more decadent.
Splendid composition dearest Francesco

Hello dear Francesco; by Bill Bryson I read Lost America - and kill if I liked it! This excerpt of yours already entices me to try my hand at reading News from a small island. Beautiful your photo, great shooting point and natural colors.
