Peace and Doves

M and I visited Liverpool’s Anglican cathedral this afternoon to view the Peace Doves installation, which I’ve been wanting to see for the last few weeks and which was as beautiful and breath-taking as I’d imagined it would be.

The cathedral’s website says:

“Peace Doves is a mass participation art installation, created by renowned sculptor and artist Peter Walker. It features around 18,000 paper doves suspended on 15.5 miles of ribbon from the ceiling of the Cathedral, accompanied by a soundscape from composer David Harper. We originally scheduled to open the artwork last May but it was postponed due to the pandemic. However, before lockdown, visitors to the cathedral, along with local school children and community groups were invited to write messages of peace, hope and love onto thousands of paper doves.”

I’ve added a few Extras too.

Today’s song could only really be ‘Cathedrals of the Mind’ by Doves https://youtube.com/watch?v=MBWsg9MtQuM
