Looking up to the top of the Burj Khalifa.
Can you see how the concrete in
the middle foreground of this image,
(bottom) looks a bit like a kidney bowl?
My first image…looking up…was taken
while walking along that area.
A giant bicycle wheel?
The London Eye could be easily mistaken for that.
Ben does not appear that big from atop the Eye.
Two years, two months and 5 days to complete the Eiffel Tower.

Auckland’s Sky Tower…

All that aside, whether day or night
the Sky Tower
provides excellent views of the
Auckland Harbour Bridge.

Upon reaching Paris, I had three destinations which
I have wanted to visit for many, many years.
In no particular order, they were the Eiffle Tower,
from which the above image was captured.
Notre Dame Cathedral.

old
made or built long ago
~~~~~
Construction of the Palace of Versailles began in 1661
some 55 years after Willem Janszoon first sighted
Australia and just over 109 years before
Captain Cook landed at Botany Bay.
Older still is the
Schönbrunn Palace
construction of which
commenced in 1642
The oldest of this post is
The Colosseum.
Construction of The Colosseum
began in 70AD and was completed in 80 AD
Which in 2021 makes
The Colosseum
1950 years old
since completion
We were told, these pavers,
are part of the original building.
Imagine, nearly 2,000 years since completion,
the sheer number of feet to have walked over them
and who, in history may have walked here.
The Colosseum is definitely my oldest building
in my old, older, oldest post this week.

A landscape or the result of landscaping?
Many South West Victorian farms have
changed their landscape from one
which grazed sheep and cattle to one
which grows trees and is far less intensive.
A little over 100 years ago this idyllic
French landscape would have appeared
anything but idyllic as Villers Bretonneux
was in the middle of some of the
heaviest fighting of World War I.
As the sun goes down…
…near Geelong.
