Communications Tower

A quick post at the moment because I am just off out to a U3A talk on communications. This photo seems appropriate.

I took this photo on Sunday as we were going into Newcastle to the play.

If you look closely there is a spiral staircase right up to the top of the tower. I wouldn't fancy fixing this as a job, would you? Imagine having to climb all those stairs every day to go to the 'office'

I don’t envy the person who needs to go up there to adjust an antenna!!

[Diana]

Great shot , that would be the end of me and I would have to quit the job ;-)

[eDorre]

Neat tower

[Issi Bannerman]

That's quite the set of stairs!

[Nigel Rogers]

Very topical given your U3A talk!

[Casablanca]

I can imagine you up there practising your abseiling.....

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh my , that spiral staircase is not for me !

[haskar]

There are those who like it. Pay attention to construction cranes. They sit there at heights all day long and go to work for at least half an hour.

[Joan Robillard]

Good capture

[Brian]

Great capture. The view from the top is like nothing else. Getting there is my "hurdle"

[Peter]

Well spotted Babs a real sign of the times, what did we do before them, lol:)

[Susan Wakely]

A necessary part of our world today.

[Dione Giorgio]

Interesting shot. I would step aside and let somebody else to climb that tower.

[Mags]

Neat capture!

[Christine Sztukowski]

Nicely capture

[Dorothy]

No way!

[Beverley]

It would be a challenge that’s for sure…

[Margaret Brown]

Nice capture , no my feet would be firmly on the ground.

[carol white]

Great capture

[Pat Knowles]

Well I hope you weren’t asked to climb those steps on your course! 🤣. Sounds interesting to learn all about communications!

[Rob Z]

That's such a massive tower - it dwarfs the trees!

[Carole Sandford]

I wouldn’t fancy those steps either! It’s a huge tower!

[Kate]

The person who has to service that tower can't be afraid of heights

[KV]

The staircase looks a bit intimidating.

[Islandgirl]

Great way to get excerise! lol

[Shutterbug]

Nice capture. Looks like the perspective is correct.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Not for the faint at heart, nor those with a fear of heights to be sure!

[Babs]

@casablanca I do it every other day 🤣

I reckon I could make it half way up but that is all.

I would have to install an elevator or winch down from a helicopter to the top of the tower

[Rick]

Nice capture.

[Kathy A]

Wow, now that’s a climb!
