Liverpool has two cathedrals, so there

And if I had a telescope and a very clear day, I might just see them from my window

Oh yes, some of the more 'mature' HLers will remember the theme tune to The Liver Birds " ...and if you want a cathedral, we've got one to spare ..."

And some of the less mature HLers will remember the "Paddy's Wigwam" and just giggle

However, getting close up to it at nighttime, especially around the parts that aren't as lit up, like around the Chapter House, whilst the sky's a deep blue and the sun has all but set, and THEN it's beautiful.

@ Ness - Looks a bit *cough* goff *cough* ... but don't they all?

And this is probably my second fav cathedral.

Nice Gothic cranes.

That's the Cathedral I mean.

Beautiful.
And what a way to go, jumping off one of those towers..

Sorry, it's "those" thoughts again.

Interior design huh?

You're a sick woman Ness. You need help.

I just took the picture

Exactly.

Still trying to forget it....

Yes, well. It did provide decades of work for the local roofing companies

We can actually see the "proper" cathedral from our back bedroom window. It's just getting into the back bedroom and navigating your way to the window that makes it difficult

But I can't actually see it from where t'computer is. So it don't count.

I can now see lots of wet trees. Out of the front I can see lots of wet houses. Upton's such an interesting place

Aft, a damp garden and a railway embankment (lots of fun at six eh em with a hangover and a twenty car diesal train shoots past). To my right, a damp street of terraced houses. Sympathies, Motz, everything looks worse in the rain...

Snap Still, at least it stops the neighbours having one of their paraffin barbecue specials

Looking out across Roche Ferrez, I do believe there is slightly less water in the air than there was an hour ago. Might even have a trip to the Capital Of Culcha

Seriously, what does Capital of Culture mean about from shutting down Quiggins for some arty boll*cks and putting up so many bloody banners that navigation through the city center is nigh on impossible because you can't see the shop names?

My wife used to work in Quiggins. Knew you'd be fascinated.

Which shop?

@Motz - but when Quiggins takes over Lewises, I won't have so far to walk from the station

Some ethnic crafty shop. Can't remember which but she used to love it there, that much I know.

It did used to a good place to go. Ah well
