Liverpool Skyline

The rainbow was 180 degree over Liverpool yesterday around 8 pm

One end at Liverpool

Other end at Seacombe

And it did look like this

Fabulous.

Agreed.
It has to be one of the best photos of Liverpool.
Ever.

A magical picture - one you could probably get money for because it's so unexpected.

Agreed, fabulous. Is that another fainter rainbow on the outside of it. Look at the different colour of the sky on the inside of the rainbow.

Yes it is ..When I was taking photo I notice only liverpool end of second rainbow,I couldn't see other end...But at photo we could see both end...

This photo of total of 6 frame and stitched together....with 28 mm lens and being this close made impossoble to take as a one frame...

Hi Ged and kebabman

A double rainbow is a rare phenomenon but such does occur occasionally. See the entry in Wikipedia on "Rainbow" where they show a rare double rainbow in Alaska. About the phenomenon they say, "More rarely, a double rainbow is seen, which includes a second, fainter arc with colours in the opposite order, that is, with violet on the outside and red on the inside."

Nice one! Great photo.

Here's a picture by Juxtapol on SSC what scouseyuppie has photoshopped,the King Edward tower is the only one which hasn't received planning permission otherwise that's a rough idea of how Liverpool Waterfront will look in 2011.

Thanks for that link, Kev.

When they do these renders of what the skyline is going to look like in the future, why can't they show the buildings under construction as they will appear when they're finished?
It looks stupid seeing Beetham West with still a lot of cladding to be done, when it's surrounded by bright shiny towers (all nicely finished, I might add).
Not to mention the other buildings under construction.

I suppose it could be said, in the future, that it will help to date the renders!

I know it's the only thing I seem to post pics of but I think this is better than the "dull" one I posted last year and this was taken with my phone too !!!

Sorry if it's the wrong place to put it too, I didn't wanna start a new thread for this.
