The last few days have been wet to say the least, they have also been a perfect opportunity for some impromptu taking of rainbows :PDT_Piratz_26:

There have been some beautiful sunsets recently. Feel free to add your own pics of the skys above our heads.

Nice one Kev. Here's a few I took in September 2004. I was eating fish and chips with my Mum when I spotted the rainbow. It was gone within 15 minutes.

I see the Garston

Sports Centre in the back.

You should do your runs in that park with all the exercise stuff they put in that park.

Never noticed a Rainbow

today though.

What constitutes as Above Us Only Sky nowadays in this thread? Just asking:neutral:

Taken from the back garden! A double Rainbow - beat that :celb (23):

Taken from my front door late last summer looking towards the Carmelite Monastery in West Derby

Amazing colours. :handclap:

Great pics, Jona and Iain! :handclap:

Thanks Chris and Lindylou, I was made up with that photo, no playing with the settings or photoshopping afterwards, that's just the way it came out

Here are some pictures from Liverpool Airport the other day.

3186 Aer Arann departs to Dublin.

3187 Euromanx departs to Isle Of Man.

3188 Flybe departs to Southampton.

Here are a few more from my flight to Amsterdam.

Went down to the airport a couple of weeks ago one night just to see what was landing and to sit off in the car. The approach road has all been cordened off and 'the mound' where everyone used to park up has now been taken away too. What was once an enjoyable experience when Concorde came in (you had to literally book your spot with the car) is now turning in to something which you cannot get close to any more - a real shame.

The mound's gone :shock:, that's a shame. The last time I went there, about 3 months ago, they'd cleared all the scrub from around the runway approach lights. I'd always thought that planes coming in or taking off at the mound end were sitting ducks for any terrorist activity. If the taking away of the mound was because of this they've made a mistake as it can only be detrimental to security. Any one of those plane enthusiasts that sat there for hours on end acted like unpaid security guards for the airport as they'd report anything untoward.

Exactly! Plus there are so many places that you could 'take out a plane' along the flight path of Hale/Speke that I don't think it's been done just for that - a shame though.

Hi Jonny

A number of your attachments aren't working as I get the message "Invalid Attachment specified." Might I suggest you use Flickr or some other photo hosting service as a number of us do. It is free and very worthwhile... then you can post your pics full size. :)

Chris

O thanks i noticed that myself i thought it was just my computer. I shall try that. Thanks.

..is this thread for images of the airport/planes etc present/today or Liverpool airport/ planes past?

Images for the present day.

Cheers, this is the section for Liverpool Past. I'll move it to The appropriate place.

I liked this pic as soon as I looked at it through Photoshop.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Easy jet taken at the weekend just outside Hale Village.

Good work, Max, Cadfael, and drone_pilot. Here are a few cloud shots I took in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore County over the last week or so.

First at Union Station, D.C., including shots of the memorial to Christopher Columbus with a pigeon on the explorer's head (some of you may have seen a close-up I posted earlier in the A to Z thread, part of the same series of shots):
