Morningrise album cover

[AeonBlue]

just the other day my copy of Morningrise arrived.. ended up paying double the usual retail price, but oh it was worth it.. but anyway, i look at the cover and im just wondering, Where and What is that building on the cover?

great cover choice.. really fits the scene of the album, and since i havent been able to find the answer to this question anywhere, i hope its not one of those things that will just prey on my mind constantly until i find the answer lol

anyone at all? thanks

I heard that they saw it in some advertisement in the subway or something...

MU: What is the picture on the 'Morningrise' cover?

MA: We did not know at the time. Our label boss for Candlelight went on holiday, and they went to this place. I can't remember the name. He actually walked on the bridge or whatever it is. He sent me a postcard with the exact same picture that we have on the cover there but with color. It's some kind of tourist place in England.

You'd think they'd get in trouble for using the cover of a postcard. I doubt he had someone go back and take a picture of it or anything...

How you gonna find it in New Zeeland, boy?

 

[AeonBlue]

yeah you would think so.. but they gave credit to a 'Tuija Lindström' for the cover photos, so that should cover any trouble they mightve got in

and the internet is a big place.. you never know what you can find if you look in the right places and making do with what resources you have.. i guess they call that kiwi ingenuity
