Up

Took this this afternoon while trying to find a good view over Leeds. As you can see I failed!!
I want to take a night shot of the city center lights, as its a fairly nice skyline. As Leeds is full of tree's and some run down ugly buildings on the outskirts, I've yet to find a high and clear shot. I wonder if Richard knows.. hint hint, grovel grovel!

Stairs to the sky (or stairway to heaven - ha!) - love the angle, and the shadows of the railings.

@islawight I nearly put the Led Zeps song up in the title, grins!

Oh nice, I love a bit of geometry
October 24th, 2010  
Love this! Look at all those lines! And the angle makes it look like the stairway leads to nothing but the sky!!
October 24th, 2010  
Very nicely done.
October 24th, 2010  
This looks great. I'll have a think about the night view. Don't get out as much since the kids came along. Funnily enough I've got a better idea about London these days!

@rich57 Lol, me too! Grins. Cheers, anything you can think of be ace!

This is cool, I think. It looks like it's going up to the sky...
October 24th, 2010  
Love it!
October 24th, 2010  
I think this is great, cool shot!
October 24th, 2010  
Great shot and I immediately thought of "Stairway to Heaven".
October 24th, 2010  
Very cool perspective!
October 24th, 2010  
M62 towards Manchester Is the best view .. Lol.
October 24th, 2010  
I like this Freida. Great angle.
October 24th, 2010  
@steveh Ha ha, very funny :-) And yeah, I do like Manchester a lot (though B'ton is better than either of them! Grins.)
October 24th, 2010  
really like the lines & the perspective!

Re: your comment, yes! There is a red and white barber pole outside the shop!
October 24th, 2010  
Someone at the top would of worked I reckon. Back to the camera, or leaning against railings?
October 25th, 2010  
Not that this shot does'nt work.but I believe a model would of improved...may be not what you were looking for though
October 25th, 2010  
A great shot! I really like the perspective of your shot.
October 25th, 2010  
great shot!!! reminded me of the stairs I USED to be able to run while in college!! :)
October 25th, 2010  
Love this shot! My first thought was "We are climbing Jacob's ladder" a little song I sang years ago...ladder to heaven!
October 25th, 2010  
Wonderful. I expect a grand surprise at the top.
October 25th, 2010  
Looks like the end of the world, just one step more and you will fall of of it.

Happy Monday! Thanks for your comments...I really enjoyed the challenge of the helicopter and yesterday at the reservoir was great! 30 is not really a great number, we have seen 70+ in a day. If you did a bird watch in your garden you would prob get 10 or so. Anyway, interesting pics here from you. You'll be pleased you took them for the memories when you return to the smoke :-)
October 25th, 2010  
@Cherrill 70 plus is a lot! I was just impressed still, as I thought many would've flown away for the winter. Anyhow, still sounds fun :-)
October 25th, 2010  
I love the perspective here! Nicely done!
October 25th, 2010  
I looove the shadows!
October 25th, 2010  
Great lines!
October 25th, 2010  
The shadows on the stairs are fascinating.
October 25th, 2010  
Yes, I automatically though stairway to heaven, wonderful image!
October 26th, 2010  
Yeh. It seems you got nowhere but you have got a nice shot.
October 26th, 2010  
Love it!
October 28th, 2010  
Looks like a stairway to heaven. Great!
October 28th, 2010  
Cool picture! I love the angle, makes it look like there is nothing but sky on the other side.
