Friday My Town Shoot-out - Skylines



This week's subject for the Friday My Town Shoot-out is Skylines chosen by Kate. Why not pay her a visit and see her skylines.

Once again, I have chosen to delve back into my archives and show photos mostly taken in the 1960s in Liverpool with the River Mersey in the foreground- possibly one of the most famous man-made skylines in the world.

  4. Yes. Very probably the most iconic and relatively unchanged city skyline there is.

  5. Sadly, GB, the skyline is now much changed though fortunately the iconic three still stand. If you went on a ferry nowadays you would see some enormous (and objectionable) buildings hemming them in. I must get out there in the summer and take some for comparison.

  7. I especially like the third photo down with the buildings reflected in the waters.

    I'd love to come along with Pauline and ramble through your archives!

  8. Gone to the hospital? Might like the food and stay? I hope that you don't like the food.

    These are all photos that you'd find in a magazine. Magnificent!!

  11. First, I'm pleased there's an improvement in your car's health.
    Secondly: I am a lover of photographs of buildings and skylines so it was with eager eyes that I studied your pictures. Thanks for sharing.

  13. Bandersnatch and Sienne and Natalie all send their best wishes to Meek. They'd like to send a shrew they caught yesterday, but it's a little worse for the wear and I figured you'd only want nice fresh food for your furry one.

  15. In the sixties Liverpool did have one of the most famous skylines in the world but sadly times have changed. Your photographs are a great reminder of how things used to be!
