Terrific capture with a beautiful blue sky :)

Wow!!! Cool tower!! Cool view!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[Lynne]

Nicely captured. Love seeing your side of the world through your eyes.

[Sally Ings]

I can imagine that the view must be rather splendid from the observation deck. I bet some folks really struggle with the 180 steps though.

[KWind]

Wow... Lots of steps! Great shot.

[gloria jones]

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Lovely capture but that's to many steps for me. (No lift).

[Margaret Brown]

Beautiful wharf and tower!

[Gena Pegg]

Great pov and perspective. Weather looks lovely...this is winter, right?

[Dawn]

Interesting shot did you go to the top?

[Babs]

@hermann Great view from the observation deck, but no good for photos at that level. It is closed in with Perspex and people have scratched it. Lots of photos on the way up and down though on the stairs.

[Babs]

@salza Thanks Sally. Most people who climbed to the top were pretty fit.

[Babs]

@ladymagpie Definitely no lift Heather.

[Babs]

@rjb71 Yes it is popular. closed at 6 pm though and closed during strong winds. There was quite a swing on it the day we climbed and that was a calm day.

[Babs]

@365projectorgjenfurj Let me know if you do come up to Newcastle Jen, we can catch up. Lots of photo opportunities.

[Babs]

@eyesmile Yes definitely winter Gena. It was a beautiful day and the temperature reached 20 degrees C (68 f). Our winters aren't too bad really and the good thing is that even in winter it isn't winter every day as you can see.

@stephanies Yes Stephanie I have climbed it many times over the years. I am going to post some photos from the top for the rest of the week.

[Babs]

@dawnee Yes, I did go to the top. Yesterday's photo of the Notorious was taken from the tower and I am going to post some more photos over the next couple of days from the tower.

[Taffy]

Nice to see the other perspective
