*** Today's Sudoku***

And now for something a bit different! Today's puzzle, which is by Hraf, uses the real geography of the Wirral Peninsula in just a wonderful sudoku that's dedicated to Hraf's grandparents:

"This puzzle is dedicated to my grandparents who are from Liverpool:
My grandfather, who passed earlier this year; but especially to my
grandmother, who taught me from a young age to love puzzles and encouraged my curiosity about the world."

You can play it at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The blue areas represent the water surrounding the Wirral Peninsula. The green areas are land. On land, the digit in a cell represents the height of a skyscraper built in that cell. No skyscrapers can be built on water, so any digit can appear on water without affecting sightlines. Sightlines to a shorter building are blocked by taller buildings. The cages represent places where photographs were taken by a photographer on a boat cruise. The small arrow in a cage represents the direction the photographer was facing. Additionally, the digit given in the cage represents the number of skyscrapers visible in the given direction. In places where multiple photographs were taken, all of the photographs will be clued in the same cage. The digit in the cell with a grey square is even. Note: Because no skyscrapers are built on water, no digits in those cells block sightline to any land which may be across the water from the photographer.
