Picture of the Day. June 2008.

[PhilipG]

1 June.

The old Dock designed and built by Thomas Steers between 1709 and 1715.

Excellent Phil, I forgot it was June lol.

Could you see a lot of it?

[PhilipG]

Excellent Phil, I forgot it was June lol.

Could you see a lot of it?

Not really, Kev.
The glass is only about 2 feet wide and you have to move around to get a better idea of the layout.
I think the idea was to show the full height of it.
What we can see is the NE corner (I think!).
The Hilton Hotel is on a lot of the site of the old dock.

[A.D.W]

That's the first very good picture I have seen of the old dock viewing window. Well done indeedy, PG.

:PDT_Piratz_26:

[quincyg]

at least they have had the foresight to allow us to glimpse even a bit of it.

most constructors would have covered it completely.

it's really tough to see it during the day as the light reflects off the glass and all you can see are the reflections of the people looking down.

[Kev]

It also looks like the view of the moon from the sapce shuttle up in space!

[PhilipG]

qg.
There are still reflections to avoid.
Most noticeably, the strip lights from John Lewis.

ADW.
Thanks, but it's early days yet!

Kev.
I thought it has an outer space look, too.
I almost posted this shot.

Both shots are worthy :handclap:

With a name like Al Snober, it's not perhaps surprising this restaurant is up for let. Photo taken in London Rd, Liverpool

[marky]

I only noticed it this morning. I reckon this will get photographed a lot.

Very good, Marky. :handclap::PDT_Aliboronz_11:
I think it was Saturday that I noticed it for the first time.
Now that I can stay on the bus past Lewis's I haven't had a chance to snap it, and I hadn't seen it from that viewpoint.

cheers Marky, I know where I'll be going Tuesday!

[taffy]

Glad you all liked the photo of "man at work". It was too good a shot not to take. Fortunately the zoom on my Sony H9 enabled me to take it at a safe distance !!!

What magnification is the H9?
My H2 was 12, but it died on me, so I got the H3 which is 'only' 10.

It's 15 times optical magnification with a Carl Zeiss lens, Philip. The model has been superseded by the H50 which has a slightly updated spec but not that you'd notice.

I miss the H2 and might still get it repaired.

Great picture philipg!!

[PhilipG]

Thank you Carole.
I was walking down (or is it up?) North John Street, and one end landed right on top of the new John Lewis store.
I looked left down Harrington Street and saw St Johns Tower like this, the other end of the rainbow.

Just when I had finally got to know how to use my Lumix LZ2 camera after 2 years my children have bought me a Canon S L R and a 75-300 mm lens,now the learning has to start all over again,plus the weight factor.
This is my first pic with it, St Chads,Kirkby with the lens at 75mm

[A.D.W]

A nice picture, Greg's Dad.

Nice clear pic, I remember st chads was off the roundabout by the college on cherryfield drive, how come there is so much greenery around it that looks uncared for, you'd think they'd keep it better, what a waste, looks like good ground that could be turned into allotments or church gardens

Nice picture, Ged. Good to see so many different pictures of the Liverpool village on this fine thread.

Splendid!

[lindylou]

Good picture ged. I like to see more unusual views of places.

[PhilipG]

Here's one not so unusual, but I don't think we've had a ferry boat as POTD.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3236/2609484225_cceb1ff825_o.jpg

This one is certainly unusual (a new photo of me, that is), and is NOT the POTD. :shock:

St Helens Railway Station. Appropriately in Gt Britain's capital of glass manufacture, it is made from a lot of glass.

Those staues are armless.
Wonder if they were always like that.

I must be getting old, because I've got photos of the last time it was cleaned, which was after the Royal Liver was cleaned.
