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.

long
measuring a great distance
from end to end.
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.

One-Word-Sunday22-Fame
~~~~~~~
~~~~~
fame
the state of being known or talked about
by many people, especially on account
of notable achievements.

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.
A Vatican City ceiling
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.

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.
