STUNNING images of Liverpool’s parks and green spaces feature in one of 2012’s most picturesque calendars.
More than 300 entries were received in this year’s parks’ photographic competition organised by the Liverpool Parks Friends Forum -a forum for all the Friends of Parks groups in Liverpool.
Judges from the Forum chose work from 12 finalists to feature in the calendar. They include the overall winner -Winter Lamplight on the Iron Bridge (Sefton Park) by Scott Evans.
Around 40 images from the competition will be exhibited at the Heritage Centre in St George’s Hall from Tuesday 29 November to Sunday 4 December (10am to 5pm)
“I didn’t envy the judges in having to select the finalists and winner. The standard was so high it was a really tough task to choose the 12 pictures, “said Councillor Tim Moore, cabinet member for the environment and climate change.
“This competition shows not only do we have superb parks, gardens and other green spaces in Liverpool but we have really talented and creative photographers. They have captured all aspects of our parks in very imaginative ways.”
As well as the calendar and exhibition, photographs from the competition entries have been selected for use as seasonal ‘e-cards’ by the Council.
he calendar is now on sale for £3.99 at the Calderstones Park Café, Isla Gladstone Conservatory Café, Sefton Park Café and at Croxteth Hall Gift Shop (weekends only at Croxteth). It will also be sale at the exhibition.
