10 m above ground. We have to crossover from the round staircase through parts of the church's roof to the entrance of the squared main tower. The atmosphere changes drastically from subtle elegance to a very simplistic and functional architecture.
Thanks for visits and faves, comments highly appreciated and will be responded a.s.a.p!
Cheers

"Absolute World sont deux grattes-ciels résidentiels dans la colle de Mississauga, fans la banlieue de Toronto, au Canada.
Les tours possèdent 56 et 50 étages, leur hauteur est de 179,5 mètres pour la plus haute et de 161,2 mètres pour la moins élevée. Elles sont surnommées les Marilyn Towers en raison de leur forme tordue. Elles ont été conçues par le cabinet d'architecture chinoise MAD.
En septembre 2013, les deux immeubles ont reçu une récompense l'Emporis Skyscraper Award, pour l'année 2012, en raison de leur formes originales et de l'exploit tehnique que constitue leur construction."
The very impressive Iron Age broch (stone tower) on the island of Mousa, Shetland. It’s the largest and best preserved in the world, pretty much. It gets mentioned several times in the Viking sagas, though it dates from much earlier.
For an account of my trip to the Shetland Islands:
Turning away from Hong Kong island, I looked over to the small outcrop of towers that make up this part of West Kowloon. Hiding just behind 'The Arch' is the ginormous tower where I was staying. I guess even the tallest of buildings can find hiding places.
The West Kowloon station building wraps around back on itself and links to the shopping centre over by those big towers. The time difference in building really shows: the modern station being all glass and curves, the towers all blocky and drab.
Is the tower at the end of the perspective really leaning? It's all a question of point of view... Like so many things in life, you have to look at everything from every angle.
Est-elle réelement penchée cette tour qui pointe au bout de la perspective? Tout est une question de point de vue… Comme beaucoup de choses dans la vie, il faut savoir regarder tout sous tous les angles.
Passau, Germany. From left, the scaffold-clad Old Town Hall tower in the background, the tower of the Church of St. Paul in the foreground, and the three towers of Dom St. Stephan at right.
I have some interior photos from St. Paul I might post.
I like the cartoonish feel here, that comes from compensating for the grey day and the bus window!
Tower Bridge in the early evening. Taken on my rambling walk around London on the way home from work last night.
This watch tower is sitting next to a power substation. I don’t know it’s purpose. It certainly wouldn’t be to look for fires in the middle of farm land and a couple of miles from the river.
Located in Northumberland county, Virginia. Happy Telegraph Tuesday.

Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed bascule bridge with suspended bridge approach and high level footbridges between twin stone towers. (A bascule is a type of bridge with a section which can be raised and lowered using counterweights.)
Simply called The Tower, this is a former hunting lodge overlooking the valley at Woodchester Park, looking lovely nestling in the autumn foliage.
HWW!

This 244 meter long suspension bridge spans the Thames River close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. It has an enclosed walkway across the upper section which allows passage when the drawbridge is in use. The bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee.

Este puente colgante de 244 metros de largo atraviesa el río Támesis cerca de la Torre de Londres y se ha convertido en un símbolo emblemático de Londres. Tiene una pasarela cerrada a través de la sección superior que permite el paso cuando el puente levadizo está en uso. El actual esquema de colores del puente data de 1977, cuando fue pintado de rojo, blanco y azul para el Jubileo de Plata de la Reina Isabel II.

The Cheese Tower in Cluny dates from the 11th century. It offers a beautiful view of the town and its surroundings after climbing 121 steps. This 30-meter-high (98 feet) tower was part of the abbey grounds. Its current name comes from the fact that a woman used it to dry the cheeses she made in the 19th century.

La Tour des Fromages
La Tour des fromages à Cluny date du XIe siècle. Elle offre une belle vue sur la ville et ses environs après une ascension de 121 marches. Cette tour de 30 m de haut appartenait à l’enceinte abbatiale. Son nom actuel vient du fait qu’une femme y faisait sécher les fromages qu’elle fabriquait au XIXe siècle.

The Torres Del Paine provide a superb backdrop to the Cascada Paine as it flows downstream with a thunderous roar.
These three Granite Needles of the "Towers of Paine" give this National Park its name and provide the ultimate challenge for the Regions Climbers. I will post a wider view of this waterfall at some point sowing its impressive scale.
The wildlife in the Park was pretty abundant too, we saw Condors, Guanacos, and lots of interesting birds and not long after this we had a close encounter with a large Puma.
