Going Up

The Kuala Lumper tower stands 420mmeters high. At one time it was 7th highest building in the world, but now it’s been eclipsed by so many it isn’t even in the top twenty.

The view from the top was pretty amazing. I can’t help wondering where this desire to create bigger and taller will end, and I feel for the builders. I like heights, do you? Is there a point beyond which you wouldn’t want to go?

My photo is for Paula’s Thursday Special, Pick a word, one or all of five, mine is ‘Lofty’.

What a nice surprise

Once upon a time, I visited Antony near Torpoint for my birthday. They must have known I was coming but the welcome was most unexpected.

Look what I found.

It’s Patti’s turn to pick the theme for this weeks Lens-Artist Photo Challenge.

My little city is very low rise and as I don’t have a drone or plane handy, I’ve chosen a different one.

Even aside from the very special company I had, Warsaw was a nice surprise.

Thanks Patti!

The hours pass and are reckoned to our account.

I ended up missing most of Becky’s Time Square challenge in December, this photo wold have been the last one.

The astronomical clock in Exeter Cathedral is 15th century. The clock depicts what was then the known solar system, with the black fleur-d-lys sun going round the dial every 24 hours.The dial above the main one was added in the 18th century and it has one hand to tell the minutes.
