Unique to the United Arab Emirates

is Dubai’s

Burj Al Arab…

…and while still thinking Dubai is the

Burj Kahlifa

is another structure unique

the U.A.E.

 

The Clock known as Big Ben

is unique to London…

…while across the channel is

the Eiffel Tower

which is a Parisien landmark…

…as is this Leaning Tower

is a landmark in Italy’s

Pisa

Closer to home at coastal Anglesea’s golf course

you can play a round of golf while kangaroos

inspect the greens…

…or rest in the rough.

Only in Australia’s Northern Territoy

will you find this view from

atop Ayres Rock (Uluru)

Depending on one’s point of view,

it is either a pity or a blessing that

Ayres Rock is now closed to climbing.

The above image was taken from

my 1974 super 8 movie.

Gog and Magog sound their alarm every hour

Although I have been to London several times

I have yet to remember hearing Big Ben.

   Maybe that is due to traffic noise

at ground level.

During recent years,  Griffin Gully

has proven to be a wonderful spot

for Blue Hour…

 

…and sunrise photos…

…all year round.

From high atop the London Eye…

Big Ben quickly became…

Landmarks from any where…

The Eiffel Tower…324 metres high.

The Tower in which Big Ben (the Bell)

resides is 96 metres high.

According too Google the

Geelong Football Club ground

is 5.1 kilometres as the crow flies.

Without the light towers, which are 73 metres high,

the ground would be difficult to spot

even from this vantage point.

***

Although I don’t have a photo,

this morrning Melbourne was laying claim to

having the tallest Southern hemisphere building.

At 388 metres high, the 108 storey

hotel and apartment building

is located in Melbourne’s

Southbank area.
