I have just come home from my holiday in London. That is why I have not been commenting on your images. I will try to catch up over the next few days. I hope you will forgive me :)

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.

I've been to London, but I didn't see the Queen. I can't believe it's been 18 years since I was there.
With everyone home in the evenings, the local condominium tower is lit up like a spaceship, ready to launch.
This 20 metre high viewing tower at Tralee Bay wetlands centre & nature reserve gives a superb panoramic view of the various lakes, reed beds & across to Blennerville Windmill, the Dingle peninsula & Atlantic ocean (an iPhone5 image, Flickr seems to have lost the data I think?) Happy Window Wednesday!

From a photo walk around the Bavaria Towers. This is the Sky Tower, which is 83,6 meters high and has 20 floors.
Scolty Tower. Sits at the top of Scolty Hill, near Banchory, Scotland. It's a couple of miles on a nice looped walk though a reasonable incline in places and there is a super panoramic view from the top. Shot taken late afternoon in late October when we had been blessed with very spectacular skies most nights during our stay. The skies were even more remarkable after we had made the descent!
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.
The construction of Tower Bridge began on 22 April 1886. It took eight years, five major contractors and the relentless labour of 432 construction workers each day to build Tower Bridge under the watchful eye of Sir John Wolfe Barry.
When it was built, Tower Bridge was the largest and most sophisticated bascule bridge ever completed ('bascule' comes from the French word for 'seesaw'). Today, the bascules are still operated by hydraulic power, but since 1976 they have been driven by oil and electricity rather than steam. The original pumping engines, accumulators and boilers are now on display within the Bridge’s Engine Rooms.

Have long been meaning to shoot this, so glad to get it ticked off.
For anyone remotely interested, I've launched my Wild Surrey project on Kickstarter so do please take a look here.
Scotia Plaza tower reflected in the glass of the nearby Bay Adelaide East tower. WZMH Architects designed the tower, completed in 1988. The exterior is covered by a Red Napoleon Granite which was quarried in Sweden, cut and polished in Italy, then imported to Canada.
A plethora of bells in the Hallgrimskirkja Bell Tower. It's located at the top of the hill in downtown Reykjavík, Iceland. From here you get a great view of the city. Shot with a Rokinon 12mm lens in manual mode with lens set to off at about f/17.

Devils Tower National Monument, a unique and striking geologic wonder steeped in Native American legend, is a modern-day national park and climbers' challenge. Devils Tower sits across the state line in northeast Wyoming. The Tower is a solitary, stump-shaped granite formation that looms 1,267 feet above the tree-lined Belle Fourche River Valley, like a skyscraper in the country. Once hidden below the earth’s surface, erosion has stripped away the softer rock layers revealing the Tower.
The two-square-mile park surrounding the tower was proclaimed the nation’s first national monument by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. The park is covered with pine forests, woodlands, and grasslands. While visiting the park you are bound to see deer, prairie dogs, and other wildlife. The mountain’s markings are the basis for Native American legend. One legend has it that a giant bear clawed the grooves into the mountainside while chasing several young Indian maidens. Known by several northern plains tribes as Bears Lodge, it is a sacred site of worship for many American Indians. Devils Tower is also remembered as the movie location for “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
The stone pillar is about 1,000 feet in diameter at the bottom and 275 feet at the top and that makes it the premier rock climbing challenge in the Black Hills. Hikers enjoy the Monument’s trails. The 1.25-mile Tower Trail encircles the base. This self-guided hike offers close-up views of the forest and wildlife, not to mention spectacular views of the Tower itself. The Red Beds Trail covers a much wider three-mile loop around the tower.
