I’m celebrating Liverpool’s 800th birthday from the air with my favourite photograph I took on my recent flight over the city in a Dakota.

I didn’t realise Liverpool was celebrating its 800th birthday. Nice photo. It must have ben great to see the city from such a great old plane. Happy WW
My hat’s off to you! This is a fun and interesting aerial shot. Happy birthday to Liverpool, too!
Fun and cool shot. 800 years old? Wow.
what a breathtaking view!!
Oh, Liverpool! The Beatles!
happy ww
Beautiful shot!! Happy WW!!
Beautiful photo! It seems like there are a few of aerial views this week… I love that!
Happy WW!
Happy 800th Birthday Liverpool. Party on. Have a great WW.
great aerial shot! thanks for dropping by earlier.
What a cool picture. My dad was born there.
Nice shot, not sure how I’d get on in a plane!
Great shot.
It’s hard to imagine 800 years… what a long history this photo shows.
happy 800th bday to Liverpool!
great aerial view (and shot!).
What a lovely photo! Happy Birthday, Liverpool!!!!
I must be needing to head to bed, as at first glance, I wondered to myself, “what is Liverpool’s BOOTH Birthday?” Argh…
800 years! Wow!
Happy WW!
Great shot. I was only in Liverpool once (as a Beatles fan it was like a trip to Mecca). Looks cool from the air.
Wow, neat photo.
And happy birthday, Liverpool.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW, very cool…
That’s really cool! Great shot!
that is a great shot from an airplane…not always easy to do.
Gosh that’s over twice as old (nearly 3 times) as my country!
Thanks for stopping by!
“Will you still need me.
Will you still feed me.
When I’m 800 and four!”
Great shot… wow, 800… I don’t feel so old anymore. The flight must have been incredible!
800! looking good…
Liverpool seems a bit of a troubled place right now. Best wishes. It’s a wonderful image!
There was a time, when I first arrived here, that the police vans were always fitted out for a riot and there were armed police patrolling with their weapons clearly visible. There were areas you were warned not to go to if you weren’t local. You just don’t see that anymore and I’m a lot happier walking round Liverpool day or night than several other cities I know. While the regeneration hasn’t been as dramatic as some other cities it is happening and it keeps going.
While events here last week are very sad Liverpool isn’t what I would call troubled anymore.
Nothing like a high perspective to help you get a big overview of things, I love flying into a city in applying and looking down and see people scurrying around like little ants seeing the older sections of town along with the newer sections. But being 800 hundred years old it doesn’t sound like there’s a whole lot of new sections just a lot of history. Happy WW
Jeremy – What that shot doesn’t show is the huge building site to the left of the shot where a new one billion pound collection of shops and offices is being built or the new museum down by the docks and other regeneration planned down there. Up toward the top of the picture around where I work is a large building project and others waiting to start. The blue roofed building is a hospital thats a bit over 10 years old. Liverpool has it’s areas of history (and some of them are designated as world heritage sites) but all the time I’ve been here regeneration has been going on and the pace keeps getting faster.
