Ritva has challenged us to feature images that were shot from above. In our travels I have had many opportunities to capture scenes from above the subject. The header image shows an Alaskan glacier from an airplane.
The first gallery features images around lighthouses. Clockwise from left to right: Diamond Head Lighthouse, Hawaii taken from the top of Diamond Head; the view from the base of North Head Lighthouse, Washington; looking down the stairs of Yaquina Head Lighthouse, Oregon; the view of the beach and the Atlantic Ocean from the top of Tybee Island Lighthouse, Georgia.




The next gallery features images taken from above steep stairs at Tallulah Gorge, Georgia and from above the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge in Northern Ireland.


The final gallery features views looking down from hotel rooms in Belfast, Northern Ireland; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and New York City.



Many thanks to Ritva for her challenge Lens-Artists #332 – Shoot from Above

Beautiful views in every image, Beth. The Alaskan glacier is amazing.

Egidio, many thanks! After flying over the glacier the pilot landed on it. It was an experience I’ll never forget.

Alaska is so full of wonders. We did a cruise there many years ago. The memories are still vivid.

Nora, thanks! I’m afraid of heights so I had to stand a little way back from the edge to get some of those shots.

Ritva, I enjoyed this challenge. I don’t take a lot of photos looking down from above because I am afraid of heights. We not only flew over that glacier but landed and walked around on it. It was amazing.

Terrific response Beth – you DO get around 😊. All perfect for the challenge but the spiral stairs are my favorite

Tina, these were all taken a few years ago. We don’t get around as much these days. I’ve climbed many lighthouses and taken a few picture looking down the stairs. This is my favorite. Glad you liked it.
