About this shot

Especially for you I uploaded this in 1600 x 1000 pixels (about 1/3 of the orginal size) - hope you like it. Nobody believes me anymore when I say I'm afraid of heights! ;-)

 

This is the view from the Haagse Toren (known as 'Het Strijkijzer' or 'Flatiron', at 132m.

Its architecture was indeed inspired by the well known Flatiron building in New York. There was a *very* strong wind, and I battled a couple of showers on top, pfff!
