Very nice. What an interesting view. I like the angle of the railing and to realize that is Liverpool. I grew up with the Beatles all over my wall. Wonderful clouds and rocks.

I love that lead-in line from the handrail to the view of Liverpool. It's amazing how the skyline has changed since the last time I was there.

A curious shot to an outsider . . I think I can figure the railings and, yes, I bet that skyline has seen some changes.

lovely wide angle shot - I really like the way the strong horizontal and diagonal lines give this image a super-wide angle feeling, stretching out along the horizon. the tumbled rocks, city and clouds echo one another in the vertical plane. great composition!

@baobab: Thank you baobab

nice capture. for some reason cities always seem to look more beautiful when viewed from a distance or, even better, a beautiful beach :)

I don't think I've ever been to New Brighton when the tides been out - I think I've got a shot somewhere of those railings dipping down into the water.
That is a great sky.
