Prospect Hill tower / park in Somerville MA is a great sunset view spot in the winter, since the sunset has migrated further south and most of the trees have lost their leaves. It should get even better for the next few weeks as the sunset moves further south till the solstices and the last of the fall foliage falls off.
(In the summer, it's just an ok sunset view spot - it's pleasant to be there, but much of the sunset ends up behind thick tree leaves.)
Qatar structures stand out with architectural designs beyond the ordinary. A signature if I may say. One thing I notice though, is that in most buidlings, they represent their cultural heritage being fishermen. In a number of designs, shapes represent part of their dnow (indigenous boat).

The CN Tower is a 553.3 m-high (1,815.3 ft) communications and observation tower in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Completed in 1976, it is located in downtown Toronto, built on the former Railway Lands. Its name "CN" referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower.
The CN Tower held the record for the world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years, from 1975 until 2007, when it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa, and was the world's tallest tower until 2009 when it was surpassed by the Canton Tower. It is currently the tenth-tallest free-standing structure in the world and remains the tallest free-standing structure on land in the Western Hemisphere. In 1995, the CN Tower was declared one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
It is a signature icon of Toronto's skyline and attracts more than two million international visitors annually. It houses several observation decks, a revolving restaurant at some 350 metres (1,150 ft), and an entertainment complex.

Bell tower of a no longer used early 1900’s school house in Gilson Illinois. This large bell was sufficient to be heard throughout the town.
The guide said as I leaned out to take this a long way above the Octagon at the crossing of Ely Cathedral. You can just see people down there. We walked up 3 spiral stone staircases to reach this point. The guide explained the first stone tower collapsed so they rebuilt the top of the lantern tower in wood to be lighter. But the oak trees cut to support the tower are now 600 years old and the floor creaks a bit as you walk around up there. Fortunately they did some strengthening 200 years ago but then that wood is getting old too ... :)
Smailholm Tower, a peel tower near the small village of Smailholm in the Scottish Borders. A couple of visits to this place yesterday, in daylight to check the location and then just when the sun was low in the sky, when this shot was taken.

Ivory Tower
In these days my memories from my trip in Canada are emerging powerfully so I have decided to publish a shot that was waiting in my hard drive since more than one year. Was a cold morning walking in front of the Mount Assiniboine. This white spire appeared from the dark clouds was like a vision from another planet. Well, I am quite used to alpine environments and to the wonders of the mountains but that morning was something unbelievable and the memory is still vivid in my mind as if it happened just yesterday.
I have shooted a pano that is quite unusual for me but the vastness of the landscape and the characteristics of the place made this choice mandatory.
