This is the Liverpool waterfront as seen from the Seacombe Ferry terminal across The River Mersey.

The three older buildings in the centre right form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They are, l to r, The Liver Building (Liver in this case is pronounced Lie-ver). This is the building with the two clock towers surmounted by giant birds. These are the world famous Liver Birds and are the emblem of Liverpool.

The square white building to the right of The Liver Building is The Cunard Building and was the headquarters of The Cunard shipping line until the late 1960's. Cunards are celebrating their 175th anniversary this year and its three biggest liners (The Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Victoria and The Queen Mary 2) are all visiting Liverpool next weekend to mark the occasion.

The building to the right (with the dome) is the beautiful Port Authority Building.The image also shows in the bottom right the modern Museum of Liverpool. behind this you can see the massive Anglican Cathedral.

There is so much to see, so all I can say is, "Come and visit Liverpool and "Glorious" New Brighton."
