The Eiffel Tower 324 metres high

appears taller than it is..

However standing at 828 metres high

Dubai’s

Burj Khalifa

dwarfs the surrounding city.

From the viewing area in the

Burj Khalifa Tower

the Dubai Mall Fountain

is barely visible.

And yet those buildings are

four or five stories high.

Burj Khalifa vs other tall structures.

glimpse

a momentary or partial view.

~~~~~

Many attractions in our European holiday

were mere glimpses either to time constraints

or visitor numbers.


One such glimpse was the

Louvre Museum.

 

 

This unedited image was closer to

the glimpse we viewed through

our coach window.

In St. James Park, London,

lives the Grey Squirrel, which are

North American natives…

and now has replaced the native Red Squirrel

throughout most of Great Britain.

For as long as I can remember…

…the Flanders Poppy has been a symbol of

the freedom won in two World Wars.

I had heard of fields being covered in blood red poppies,

but had been a bit of a doubting Thomas.

LIke Thomas, my doubts were allayed

upon my 2017 visit to the

Western Front Battlefields,

where, with my own eyes, I was able to

see (and photograph) poppies growing wild

on World War I Battlefields.
