Reformation
Colonisation: Lichen and ferns populate an aged fence line at Croxteth Park (Liverpool's largest public 'estate' park in the grounds of Croxteth Hall) - grappling with the elements holding on for dear life, determined to remain grounded while the other breeds and multiplies thriving in the space it now occupies
Imperialism: seagrass frames The Liver Building - The prowess of the period and to date, showing off its detail and dominance at dusk
Hypocrisy: Liverpool Cathedral from Albert Dock - the chains, he port, the church. All is permissible not all is beneficial 1 Corinthians 10:23
Death of an institution: cavities of a fallen tree at Croxteth park with young trees on their way to church - insides of the old and wise exposed, form and structure gone as the young and naive hum in the breeze eager to please and join in the song
Dissolution: abandoned building L7 - laid to waste the heart is ripped out and scattered for all to see
Mending a broken heart: sandstone wall, Stoneycroft - efforts made plaster over the pain often resulted in collapse at the weight of the added material and imperfect patching
The early church: budding hawthorn emerges from the evergreen ivy - new Christians among the Jews and Roman occupation
Revival: pump house chimney Albert Dock - hot water rises as coals are burned to drive the steam engines to pump water across the docks for mechanical power
Transformation: pump house chimney Albert doc - water, just like the building changes form as it reaches the sky
Stretch marks and birthing: gnarled bark and new buds at Croxteth park - the crevasses and creases of the tree bark beautify the buds being birthed, neither possible without the other
New life: tufts of grass at the edge of Croxteth park meadow - fresh growth of spring grass, another season, the new year beginning
Deaths grip: exposed root appears to be squashing dandelion at Croxteht park - that which is intended for life shall live
Destiny: ports, boats, railways and buildings Albert Dock - Liverpool's (liver meaning life in old Hebrew dialect) transportation systems enable global transport of people, goods and the gospel
Unstoppable: dandelion growing out of concrete at abandoned building site - once the impossible becomes possible, anything can happen
