The Eiffel Tower
appears rather imposing in this image,
however, it is only 1083 feet/330m high
and dwarfed by…
…Dubai’s Burj Khalifa
is 2,716.5 feet/828 metres high
and the world’s tallest building.
A much larger building the Eiffel Tower
This elephant was telling us where to go
and I, for one, was happy to let it
have its territory until
it is disturbed next.

Schonnbrun Palace in Vienna
is a classic example of
Austrian baroque architecture.
Known as the Summer Cottage
back in the day…all 1,441 rooms of it.
Palace of Versailles
Although not looking too healthy in this image
this house was repaired and has been
occupied for some years now.
Just had to include his shot.
It took me back to the sixties
and Kombi vans.

A grand piano was present at our Viennese Concert.
Most of us thought that with 1441 rooms
the Schonbrunn Palace was a grand palace…
…then we visited the Palace of Versailles which today,
comprises 2,300 rooms.

From the top of the Eiffel Tower stretches
a long beam of light, presumably to warn
low flying aircraft of its presence
and height.
Some websites state that the Great Ocean Road
ends at Port Fairy some 664 kilometres
and nine and a half hours driving, to the west.
While others claim that it is only 243 kilometres long,
commencing at Torquay and ending at Allansford,
ten minutes east of Warrnambool.

Before our visit to Europe, I assumed there
was only one Statue of David, and was
surprised to learn there was several.
I can only assume the real David
would be in better condition than
this bronze replica of David in the
centre of Florence’s
Piazzale Michelangelo,
where it is subjected to
the weather elements,
all year-round.
The Eiffel Tower’s fame made it
a must-visit during our
time in Paris.
Being a Victorian (born and bred) I would have preferred
to use Melbourne’s West Gate Bridge,
however, many readers may not have heard
of the West Gate Bridge,
so I opted for the
Sydney Harbour Bridge
which we are told,
on a regular basis,
is known worldwide.
