'Grid' 56062 meets 'Peak' 45122 @ 19.42 on a glorious July evening between Parkside East & West Junctions.
A regular spot for us on sunny summer evenings which could produce six freights and the frequent loco-hauled 'Pennines'.
* Of interest the Peak is on Pennine stock utilised for two out and back trips from Lime Street to Manchester Victoria as a peak period 'stopper' ... try doing that today!
Canning Dock was opened in 1737 as the Dry Dock, a protected tidal basin providing an entrance to Old Dock. Having been subsequently enclosed as a wet dock three years earlier,[4] in 1832 it was officially named after the Liverpool MP George Canning. To the east is the site of Old Dock, built in 1709, which was the world's first enclosed commercial dock. Canning Dock would have initially served ships involved in the trans Atlantic slave trade.
Shooting a 20 second exposure of the lighthouse in the previous shot and filling the time taking in the surroundings and enjoying being out. Then i turn around and spot the moon rising above Liverpool, get excited, shout to Rebecca, swap lens, and try to get a shot.
Probably should mention i think Rebecca got the better photo. Whilst i was trying to zoom and getting a bigger moon for a pano Rebecca managed a better foreground: flic.kr/p/2naMZBu
This is the same as the previous shot but without the blurred one overlaid... the pink light on the buildings is the sun coming up behind me.

Albert Dock, alongside the Tate of the North, this theatrical group gave a fine concert to large crowds...here, in this picture, they were singing a traditional old Liverpool ballad, "Whiskey on a Sunday" (Note the Irish spelling of Whiskey)
Don't know why the Mersey appears so blue. But it was a lovely blue sky, so maybe it's a trick of the light.
