I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!

I'm a lucky girl. I was there at the Lyric Theatre  yesterday, when Glenny Brock took a deep breath and walked across the scaffolding on the top level and actually got to TOUCH the ceiling detail for the first time. It was a very big deal for all of us who love the Lyric.  The renovation is in full swing,  and I'm so grateful to be able to photograph the progress. It will hard to top Glenny's glee!

Abandoned

While our happy band of photographers were photographing the historic Lyric Theatre a few weeks ago, we found ourselves on the roof.  Across the way, the Leer Tower sat waiting for someone to notice and perhaps begin a wonderful renovation there. We can only hope.

Update: My sources tell me that the mast was used to tie up dirigibles back in the day!
