I am joining SOOTC today, All Photos today SOOTC (out of the camera, no edits) Above photos were taken in bright sunlight from the top of the below tower. You can see it was bright and blue skies. the Silvery Moon effect was cause by shooting INTO the sun.
The amazing thing is the fact MadSnapper who is afraid of heights climbed to the top. I assure you I never got close to the rail I was holding the camera out straight armed a foot back so i could not see straight down. The Above photos taken with point and shoot Nikon. the tower is 40 feet high and the path was another 40 feet from the bottom of the tower.
Guess what Hubby was doing???
LEANING ON THE RAIL!!!!

I love the natural photos! I would have never had the nerve to climb that tower. It makes me dizzy to even think about it.
Best,

Good for you! I'm only afraid if there is not a railing. Great shots.
The view from the top is worth the climb. I think I would be OK up there as long as the rail is sturdy,but I can feel my knees complaining about the climb.
What a gorgeous place. I never trust the railings!!!
I'm not a fan of climbing towers myself, but at least the rail does look sturdy. I love those photos of the cyclist and how you also caught the shadows of the bicycles.
LOL. Oh that man! :-) Love your photos. I'd like to visit that place some time. I don't have a problem with heights, but I don't usually trust railings. I think that's carrying it a bit far. :-)
Wonderful photos. I'm glad you climbed, that way you got the great shot of your husband.
You are so brave! Nice pictures!
At first, I wondered from where, these pics were being taken????
Hooray for you, that you managed to climb! I'm with you on that fear of heights. Guess it's more an awful fear that if I got too close to an edge, for too long, I'd jump. -sigh-
My husband would lean on the rail too. And I might do so, a bit. But not for long. :-) And no looking straight down. :-)

good for you for challenging yourself. i really like that first photo.
Good for you and look how great the pictures came out! I'm scared of heights too, so I understand perfectly.
Those are nice shots for being shot into the sun...for once it added to the photos.
This is sure a beautiful spot to enjoy and some of my favorites of your photos. Great job.
I've been away getting new photos, but I'm back and hope to be by more often.
Thanks for keeping up the good work.

Good for you even climbing to the top of that tower!
My knee would never have made it and heights and I aren't on very friendly terms either.
Love the photos you got.
I love that path. I bet it makes a great bike ride.
Mad Snapper your pictures are gorgeous w/o editing...good to see hubby holding up the structure!!
LOL
Hugs Madi and C
What a view; well worth the climb.
I am so proud of you,Sandra! I really don't like heights either! But anything to get the shot, right? Hubby looks so relaxed. Great fun and great pictures!
I don't have much of a problem with heights especially if it's a platform like that with a railing. I would have been right there with Bob looking over and of course snapping pictures
Well you know I hate heights but last week I conquered my fears. Glad to be back and catching up with blog friends. :)

Delicious photos. Excellent perspectives of this beautiful place.
I'm not fond of heights either...but as long as there is a rail i would be okay...great photos...awesome that you climbed up there....
Leaning on the rail - dah. And that was a lot of steps there girl. A tide basin - what is that?
Sandra, now that you made the successful climb, can we expect to see more photos from this viewpoint?
That first pic makes me think of a snake! There is no way I would be leaning on the rail!!! These are gorgeous photos! You got some good exercise!
Clever SOOTC shots. Good for you climbing the tower when you don't like heights. I'm okay as long as I don't look down.
Congratulations on making it to the top of the tower. I like the shots you got from there, even if you didn't look straight down!
Nicely done, Sandra! These didn't need editing. ;)
wow, congrats on making it to the top of the tower.
that is a magnificent view!
such lovely shots too!
it looks like i could just step into the p/c and be there!
well done:)
have a great week ahead~
