La Princesse asleep at Paradise Corner, Liverpool, UK, 6 September, 2008
The junction of Lord Street, Church Street, Paradise Street and Whitechapel is always a busy part of Liverpool's retail area, but it's worth mentioning that this photo was taken during an interval in La Princesse's promenade, so the crowd was far less dense than when she was actually moving. In part, this was because the police were limiting access to the area, ordering people to follow parallel streets instead.
With people standing around her, one received a good indication of the sheer scale of La Princesse: this was as low and small as she got, with her legs tucked in. |
