Hanover St, Liverpool

A few more from Liverpool – these were along Hanover Street (I had a meeting near Albert Dock and they were on my way back to the train station).

The architecture of Liverpool really is something to behold. I worked in Liverpool on and off for a couple of years and used to enjoy wondering around taking it all in.

Unusual sighting – a tree on a residential building

This is just outside the centre of Manchester near Great Ancoats. It didn’t used to be a very good area, but recent developments mean it seems to be improving.

This is particularly unusual, although I suppose now chimneys tend to be blocked off maybe we will see more trees growing out of residential buildings. Perhaps they could put lights around it and a little fairy on top too.

At the risk of the Geek meter exploding, here is a better picture of the last building; this time taken with an iPhone 4s. Not strictly treesonbuildings talk, but I am very impressed by the camera on this phone. Also, this picture was taken in the morning and the light was not as good as the below example. I’ll stop typing now as I expect this isn’t very interesting.

I found quite a few more trees on buildings today and will post them soon!

Tempting to make a puntastic joke about the all-over-the-news rev. Flowers here, but I will refrain.

Instead, let’s revel in what is, I think, the best example yet of a building succumbing to nature in our very midst:

Followed by some other fine examples that had me kicking myself for not upgrading my phone earlier. Actually, I was cursing the loser I bought it from on eBay that didn’t post it until 5 days after I won the auction. T*sser.
