très belle perspective, couleurs... on dirait presque un décors de stargate ou autre film de science fiction

Some futuristic elevator to the moon. Very creative and visually appealing.

David Maury (81 months ago | reply)
thanks everyone! I didn't realise it this shot had a science-fiction feel to it but now I can see it.......
I've no idea where this spaceship is about to fly to though ;)
Akynou: this is Dublin's Spire, the irish equivalent to the Eiffel Tower (except it's kids boring and was only built 2 years ago!!!!)

Jolie composition, mais c'est rare de voir ces couleurs à Dublin. Beaucoup de travail sur Photoshop.

A wonderful gold color combined with the rich blues of the sky.

Awesome shot!
How tall is it? Cause it looks like it just disappears into the sky...

I tried this shot a year or so ago when I was in Dublin, but it didn't come out a tenth as nice as you've got it. Lovely.
Here's my picture of the base of the same spire, though.
David Maury (81 months ago | reply)
thanks for your kind comments!
photoperso: en effet, l'original etait tres blafard et grisatre - j'ai donc du le photoshoper a mort :)
Whiplash: I don't really know how tall it is... tall enough! and there's a couple of red lights at the top so you can see where the top is at night
Kaptain Kobold: well I had to photoshop this shot an awful lot to get there! thanks for the link to your pic :)

Great photo. The Spire looks awful in real life though. I don't know one Dub who likes it.....
