New Flickr site for 08 pictures proves a massive hit with photographers

Culture night

THE opening week of Capital of Culture has captured the imagination of the region’s photographers – as these great images show.

More than 700 photos have so far been posted to the Liverpool Daily Post’s new group on photo-sharing website Flickr.

Pictures from the opening ceremony continue to feature heavily on the site.

Pictures have also started to be added from events at the Echo Arena Liverpool, including one from Greenspice, of the crowd, before the Number One event at the weekend.

But it’s not just pictures of Culture events we want to see – any pictures taken in Liverpool during 08 can be added. Kev Keegan, founder of the yoliverpool. com website, added one of a child eating an ice cream outside Liverpool’s magnificent Anglican cathedral. More pic- tures from our Flickr group will appear in the Liverpool Daily Post later this week, as picked by picture editor Richard Williams.
