Lyric: Ferry Across The Mersey
Interpret: Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Life goes on day after day after day after day.
Hearts torn in every way,
So ferry cross the Mersey, Cos this lands the place I love and here I'll stay,
And here I'll stay.
People they rush every where, Each with their own secret care,
So ferry cross the Mersey, Cos this lands the place I love and here I'll stay,
And here I'll stay
People around every corner, they seem to smile and say, they'll tell you!
We don't care what you name is boy, We'll never send you away,
Send you away, Send you away, Send you away
So I'll continue to say here's where I always must stay,
So ferry cross the Mersey, Cos this lands the place I love,
Ferry cross the Mersey, Cos this lands the place I love and here I'll stay.
and here I'll Stay, stay, stay,
Ferry cross the Mersey, Cos this lands the place I love.
Ferry cross the Mersey, Cos this lands the place I love.
Ferry cross the Mersey, Cos this lands the place I love.

Hello inn. Your photos show that you observe your environment very attentively. There is above all the everyday life scenes, which you catch with your camera. The photo ferry across the Mersey is such a motive for everyday life. It is not a spectacular picture. But the famous photographer Paul Strand is with such pictures (from the passage to America) admits become. Ships and ferries are their own world with special rules. In your photo it is interesting that apparently only people are ferried over with motorcycles. A beautiful snapshot. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Very impressed with what Wolfgang says. Obviously knows his stuff. Problem with TE is a lot of people want striking graphical photos or they don't mark them. This is a good everyday life shot as he described, one which will sit well in the future.

Hi Inn,

As Wolfgang and Mark have already mentioned, this is not a great photo, but it is an interesting one. I like the colours and the expressions and anticipation from the motorcyclists to get off the ferry that you have shown really well. I think maybe the composition would be better though if you could see more of the people down below and maybe from behind also so you can see them infront of the door, waiting for it to open.

Nice daily life scene though.

Regards,

Rich
