Its full title is The Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ The King but it has had several other names. In its time it has been called "The Mersey Funnel" (a reference to the two world famous Mersey Tunnels) and "Paddy's Wigwam" ( a reference to the very large Irish Catholic population of Liverpool) but usually it's called the Catholic Cathedral. This is, of course, to distinguish it from the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.

Stands out so well against that sky. Never seen a cathedral of such modern architecture.

It looks like the base of a rocket ready to launch for the heavens Caruso. I like it.

I remember going in here years ago on a school trip. I remember that I was amazed at how un church like it was inside, I hadnt ever seen anything like it. You can make out the leaded glass in this shot. While its such a familiar landmark I am not too sure that I have ever liked its design. Great shot though.

Well, hey, it does look like a funnel and/or a wigwam... Either way it looks like it could launch some heavy-duty vibrations into the cosmos...

You got a great shot of her Steve, and I know that is not easy to do !.
I am saving this.
In the meantime I'm having a trip down memory lane to when building was in progress, and I can proudly say I was one of the minions who helped to do so.
Well, in an office that is, not on site lol
In progress it was called the Roman Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ The King - and I can still type that very fast!

From the title of your other post I am hoping it is an interior shot!
