Back in September, I visited Liverpool. One of the many incentives for going was that I would see the giant spider, La Machine, "La Principesse", as she was named, a giant hydraulics-powered puppet. The first scheduled show I made it to was cancelled, although I took photos as that too. (See La Machine, Part 1.)

My second chance to catch her was for the grand finale, a substantial procession with instrumentalists in hydraulic lifts, waterworks, fireworks, and enormous crowds.

( Here are some photos.... )

Today is the last day of Liverpool's state as European Capital of Culture.
