 This is a old Fire tower about 6 miles from my house. the forestry dept used these in the past to spot forest fires. This is one of only two left. they were sold and most of them taken down. A friend of mine owns this one. I like to go up and take photos from the top. I also wired it for electricity. the panel is at the bottom. I had to run conduit all the way up the side and into the house. that was fun!

I would think the view from up there is wonderful. Nice capture of the structure and height of the tower.

Criss cross apple sauce...no way in heaven, even if this appears to be the stairway to heaven, would you get me on those stairs!! I'm afarid of heights. I bet you get some great shots from up there? I love this one from the ground!

I love that sky, although it looks as though there are a couple of dust spots on your sensor that could do with cleaning.

What a cool structure. I bet it's a real thrill climbing up there - don't know if I would do it... Love your processing on this - has an old-time feel to it.

I like the sky, from white to blue! And, yeah, I'm not going up there.

Yikes! That looks a little too rickety for actual use. By me, anyway.

Nice photo of the old tower. They have a few of these around here too, but they belong to big land owners, and a few are still in use by the forestry service in this area. That must have been quite a task to run conduit up the leg. I think that I would have opted for running it up the stairway instead.
