FWR:
Having commented on Sasha's photo of St John's Beacon, and mentioned the point of view, I thought it was only fair to put my camera where my mouth was. Still dizzy!
DG: It makes me dizzy to look at it! I love the perspective.

I'm either enchanted or somewhat scared by that photo. The enchanted part is how much it looks like a larger version of the dancing Tchaikovsky mushroom in Disney's "Fantasia." (Cue soundtrack) The scary part is imagining that thing with two more legs and invading us form Marts, a la "War of the worlds."

It is rather scary. Maybe that's the result of the perspective. Because we're gazing up at it, we think it's some kind of surveillance platform, built to keep us little people in order.
Unless it's just a very tall mushroom!

Just wait until the giant hammer comes to hit this nail into the ground.

Yay! Great photo indeed
I particularly like how the 'crow's nest' is framed by the corners of the buildings around it

That's probably an upscale area - no laundry hanging on clotheslines, no sofas on the verandas, no kids playing kick the can in the street. .
