Awesome morning so far. No rain, windy and oddly not that cold. Been flying around in a helicopter photographing the arrival of the Queen Mary 2 in Liverpool. The biggest cruise ship to ever grace the Liverpool skyline. Amazing sight from up there as I’m sure you can tell.
That sounds very casual – ‘been flying around in a helicopter’! QE2 suckling its young. (Grand city vista too).
Lucky you! All in a days work eh! Very nice aerial shot – great colours!
Stunning photo. Thanks for posting Pete.
It was you! I looked up and saw the helicopter. Trust you to offer such a wonderful areal view. I’ll be one of the dots.

You must be minted Pete?…always flying around the Liverpool skyline when something interesting docks ha ha!
Fantastic photo mate…a really great view.

I can not help but think that more people would have turned out if the Queen Mary had arrived in July. Great Photograph.
