    Great pics Joe. Just been on your site. Fantastic pictures, you have an eye for a good shot. I have to look twice at places I know well, cos you shoot them at unfamiliar angles. Love it.

    New Sony Centre, Liverpool 1 shopping complex. Interesting shop specialising only in Sony products. Nice to see this old building has been preserved for modern use including the American Eagle

    Taffy, so where has the US eagle come from? I don't think this was the Embassy. Didn't there used to be an eagle outside The American Bar on Lime Street? Looks very similar.

    Roni, I don't know if anyone did. Just looks like the one in Lime Street. The Lime Street one might still be there.

    Sorry I don't know the origin of the American Eagle on this building on Paradise Street. It used to be a pub and the eagle was there then. So no doubt it's been there for years but quite when it was installed there I don't know either.

    Yes, a lovely pic Lenka.


    Here is an easyjet coming in over Dungeon Lane which is directly under the incoming flight path to JLA.

    Thanks Pablo. Quite a few people up there and you can well imagine that 5 seconds later and this plane is right over your head and the noise when it touches down and goes into reverse thrust to stop itself.

    To our right, the planes come right up to you then turn when taxi-ing for take off. The noise then is even louder as they rev up for take off. I still wonder how they ever get off the ground, it's quite frightening really.

    I was on a carrier once and the noise that was happening there was almost electric. The fast jets were coming and going with their afterburners on, helicopters hovering around. Jeez, five minutes there and I never knew whether I was coming or going. Great experience though.
