Another shot from the tower in San Gimignano, in Tuscany, and another testament to my momentary conquering of my fear of heights. Thanks to all who view and comment.

Just a gorgeous panorama ...so many interesting things to see here. I'm glad you decided to conquer your fear of heights and include this shot to prove it. I know there must be major "highways" there, but it seems all I can spot are little roads, but perhaps it's only because you are up so high. :)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

A great photo. I agree, the first one is the best one. Good sun angle and clouds. The scenery is also top notch.

a fave.the feature here is the amazing patchwork recession of fields stretching to the blue yonder.i could not have taken this without tranquillizers owing to my extreme fear of heights.
