Port of Liverpool

I almost didn't post anything today but decided that I would post this one for the happy memories associated with it.

This is the central some of the magnificent Port of Liverpool building at the pier head, one of Liverpool's famous "Three Graces" and one of the buildings that earns Liverpool waterfront World Heritage status.

I saw this for the first time when I came to Liverpool as a student and a fellow student known affectionately as "Tall Paul" who had grown up in the Dingle area of the city took it upon himself to give me a tour of the sights.

That was in 1990 and I had never gone back until a couple of weeks ago when I passed through the building on the way to choose my daughter's wedding dress.

The Three Graces

Ok so here is the last of my Liverpool waterfront series. I really like the way the setting sun sets off the famous Three Graces. 

World Heritage Night

My third view of Liverpool at night. I love this panorama of Liverpool's illuminated waterfront. I have kept quite a lot of the river in the foreground because I like the reflected glow. 

I first came to Liverpool in 1990 and in the past 27 years the city has changed so much. There has been lots of investment and growth in the city centre and gradually the development is  moving outwards. The skyline has changed and the famous three graces (The Liver Building, Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building) have become surrounded by some amazing new buildings. 

On one side there are hotels and offices and on the other there is the fantastic Open Eye Gallery at Mann Island and on the waterfront there is the Museum of Liverpool. I love the city and I am proud to be here. I love this view and hope you enjoy it too.
