This is the last photo from the top of the Kennedy Tower. A zoomed view of the King Albert bridge, the train station and the Cointe hill with the monument and the basilica.

Liègeorama 2


Here's another view from the top of the Kennedy Tower. This is the more chaotic part of the city featuring the Boulevard d'Avroy. The Athenée Royal de Liège 1 is a high school.

Liègeorama


A panoramic view of Liege from the top of the Kennedy Tower (I posted a picture of this building a few months ago). On the right you can see the Port Autonome (the yachting port) and the Calatrava train station. On the hill behind the station you can see the 1st World War memorial and the Cointe Basilica. On the left you can see the Outremeuse island with the Parc de la Boverie on the end. On the far left lies the Derivation de la Meuse (the Meuse river's diversion). The view from the 24th floor of the Kennedy Tower is fantastic, I will post another couple of photos in the coming days.

I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like.


It's got no basket, no bell that rings
and not a thing to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but someone's borrowed it.

Notice the empty beer can next to the remains of the bike.
PS: Sorry Syd...

The tall building again


It's the same building I blogged two posts ago. It looks OK from this angle too.

St Remacle du Pont


I've written many times in this blog that Liege is full of churches. Here's another one, St Remacle of the Bridge, in the Amercoeur quarter. It's one of the very few historic buildings remaining in Amercoeur, as the area was heavily bombarded and almost completely destroyed by the Austrians in 1794.
