Don't look down

Centre Comercial Arenes de Barcelona

Great capture.

The base looks like a huge roulette wheel...imagine if someone gave it a big spin while you were up there

I hate looking down from tall structures.. no problems with mountains.. but can't handle the man made stuff.

Quite a shot, better you than me!

Thanks guys. Mick, it is naturally a huge round shopping centre called the Arena and you go right up top and walk right around it for a look around. Over one side there was a high class hotel with the pool on the top - and topless women sunbathing!! They didn't care that people were walking around looking at them, as a gentleman I naturally averted my eyes (before Chris whacked me one hahaha). It was pretty bloody hot up there as well. It also looks down onto the worst roundabout I have ever laid eyes on, it has 12 sets of lights!!

I can 'look out' from high places, but I cannot 'look down' ..... I always have the urge to jump

I would hate to be a motorist on the roundabout, but it makes for an interesting place to observe from your position

Superb work Lloyd. Love all the curves and circles - puts a lot of fun into the images. That round-a-bout was probably designed by a road planner who lives within walking distance to his office and doesn't get out much - especially for a drive in a car!

Ah yes Lloyd, when I viewed the images of you and your son on the Harleys the word "gentlemen" immediately sprung to mind

(when I go down to the local nude beach to collect shells I spend so much time averting my eyes I never find any shells )

I agree with Isac, the curves make for added interest.
I think the red funnel leading down and creating the linear narrowing perspective really does give a giddying sense of height.
Are those ants down there.. or people? :-)

Thanks guys, yes, it gives you a bit of a weird feeling looking down there. I hope the nude beaches aren't taking up too much of your time looking for shells Mick, there's only so many you can display in the house

Barb, it took us 5 minutes to get from the far side where the columns are to the side the shot was from. The cars would get precedent over the poor pedestrians with light changes.
