The night views are great. The city looks fab all lit up.
Just imagine it when the whole of the Kings Dock comes to life and with all of the other towers they have planned lighting up the Waterfront.:celb (23):Quote:

Here's a complete pano of our skyline,the towers on Kings Dock have just gone into planning so hopefully they'll be approved soon,Central Village has been approved and doesn't feature on this render so that's to be added to this and also an application has just gone in for a tower in the Baltic Triangle for a 22 storey tower.As if that wasn't enough an application has just gone in for site 3A on Princes Dock(next to city lofts) for a 36 storey tower so things are really looking up.:celb (23):
Keep on seeing all these great renders on the forum of the city's skyline from the river - something I rarely see in reality. My daily view of the city's skyline is from the opposite direction as I wander down Erskine St. and Islington each morning. Anbody able to show us what the view over the city from the Low Hill direction is going to look like. :question:
A lot of the towers aren't complete so maybe that's why your not seeing any pictures of it from Low Hill yet and the renders we have are off the Kings Dock website so they're only interested in showing the skyline from the Waterfront.
The skyline is growing all the time. Fine pictures once again Paul.

Thanks A.D let's hope that 36 storey tower next to city lofts that's just gone into planning gets approved hey.
Unity is looking great. The 3d images wern't all that complementitive of the building but I think it looks great now it's almost finished! Wouldn't mind an apartment there! Although, No1 Princes Dock will be nicer when it's built. Have to live by the river now!
I dont like Unity. I dont think it does the skyline any favours. The shape is fine. The cladding makes it look crap though.
The Unity is nice, it doesnt have to fit in with anything as far as I know - the colours on th Princess Dock buildings are a crime :PDT_Xtremez_12:
Nah! Princes Dock is nice. Its just too bloody small.
Very good Liverpool skyline website well worth a look at,Go all the
way down the page and "view the clip" where it says super fast seascape-HD it's fantastic.:PDT_Aliboronz_24: There's a couple to view at the side of the
page were it says video pool.

That picture
almost looks like a painting it's beautiful.
Just had a look through
your collection PhilipG. Some excellents pics there.
I didn't know that there was a cinema on Belmont rd.
I knew the building when it was the
Wookey Hollow nightclub.
As you say, that buiding is now unrecognisable.
Thank you.Quote:

Some great photos lads!
I love this 1
This picture is
truly amazing! :)

Now I'm not one to complain, but even my 17" screen doesn't allow me
to fully appreciate that photo. It's not hard to resize them, plus the images usually look a bit more sharper.
Microsoft offer a handy utility.
Download and install this, and then you can
right click on any image in explorer and quickly resize them. A 9488px wide image is fine, but taking it straight off the camera at 10MP or something and
posting it kind of screws the thread up a bit...
great picture, but its from awhile back innit

THIS is the first glimpse of Liverpool’s dramatic waterfront as it will look from 2008. New additions to the skyline include the arena and exhibition centre at Kings Dock, the Mann Island developments, as well as a collection of towering skyscrapers.
It all fits in with the city’s image to stake its claim to be a premier European city.
From the left the computer-generated picture shows the area around Princes Dock and the rapidly changing business quarter centred on Old Hall Street. The cluster of skyscrapers, including the 40-storey Beetham West Tower, currently under way, gives a mini-Manhattan feel to the area.
It includes the new Central Village development at the rear of Central Station, as well as the new tower that will replace Concourse House in Lime Street.
The two cathedrals as well as the Radio City Tower are still favourites along the skyline of the future.
Liverpool Vision Chief Executive Jim Gill said: “This new image gives us a glimpse into how Liverpool’s world-famous waterfront will look in the years ahead.
“We are now seeing the positive impact of the regeneration programme on the city centre skyline. It’s pleasing that all the schemes featured in the new image are now well under way or due to start before the end of the year.”
Liverpool City Council leader Warren Bradley, said: “Anybody questioning our aspirations to be a premier European city should look at the changes along our waterfront. They are dramatic and show a city brimming with confidence about its future.
“More importantly the new additions to our skyline represent tens of millions of pounds on investment, as well as confidence in Liverpool from the private sector. The marvellous Three Graces at the Pier Head remain the centrepiece and are rightfully respected in the emerging waterfront. People returning to Liverpool in 2007 and our culture year in 2008 will hardly believe their eyes when they see the transformation.”
Martin King, director of tourism at the Mersey Partnership, said: “This is a glimpse of how Liverpool will look as a truly world-class waterfront city.
“Liverpool's waterfront has always been a famous landmark. Our Three Graces represent the city's rich mercantile and mari- time history, and have contributed enormously to our Unesco World Heritage Site status.
“Now, like so much of the city, the waterfront is being transformed by huge new investments and developments which are going to make Merseyside an even more attractive visitor destination.
“The cruise ship berth, the new hotels, the new museum, the new retail and leisure developments and - perhaps most significant of all in terms of its potential - the new Arena and Convention Centre. For everyone involved in our tourism sector, that's a mouth-watering list of new developments.”
When the picture is updated it is likely to show even more changes. It could then show the new buildings approved along the Strand as part of Grosvenor’s £950m Paradise Street project, as well as more tower blocks along Princes Dock. It will also show the new cruise-liner landing stage in front of Princes Dock. That is on target to open next summer.

Very hectic and enjoyable 36 hours in Liverpool.
I love finding different places to take pics of Liverpool's skyline.

I presume you've already contacted icliverpool. What was their reason for not having a copy?Quote:
