The WordPress Photo Challenge ‘Up’ is a great opportunity to share some of my pics taken whilst looking skywards.
These were taken at our local annual airshow, over the past couple of years. Hubby took them, and I think he did really well. I’m sure I would overbalance if I had to try to take photos of planes flying overhead. 🙂
You had a view down the steps of the Balinese temple in my last post, and this time you can look up at it.
Here’s Mount Rushmore from a different angle, showing only George Washington’s profile.
Another profile now of the Lakota warrior Chief Crazy Horse, in South Dakota. This colossal monument has been sixty-four years in the making, and as you can see, is still nowhere near to completion.
At the southernmost end of Las Ramblas in Barcelona, is the memorial honouring the great explorer Christopher Columbus, depicted pointing out to sea.
The dome of Saint Peter’s Basilica, designed by Michelangelo, is the most prominent building in the Vatican City. It’s as beautiful from the inside,
as from the outside.
Of course, I can’t do an up post, without including a photo of my favourite landmark, which is just a few yards up the beach. This is something I would really miss, if we move away from here.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my pics for this challenge. To see what other bloggers have come ‘up’ with, just click here.
Awesome images. I hope to see Mount Rushmore one day. Have a fun day.
Thanks so much. 🙂
Love the Barcelona picture! 🙂
Must…fight the urge…to run those…infernal stairs…
Why??
OCD – running + stairs = disaster, lol
Great snapshots of the air show by hubby. I don’t know which is taller…Chris Columbus who is way up there or the light house. 🙂
Well, Christopher Columbus is the clear winner at 60 metres. Our lighthouse is a mere 21 metres tall. 🙂
Lovely pics. I love the airshow photos. 🙂
Thanks, Imelda. 🙂
Fantastic shot and amazing collections 😀
Thanks so much. 🙂
I loved them all! They are amazing, thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks so much, Giovanna. 🙂
Awesome! Up up and away! You nailed this challenge!
Thanks so much, Ron. 🙂
you went all round the world with this post…
Goodness me, where have you been for so long? I was thinking of you only yesterday, and here you are. 🙂
Love the Silver Falcons. 🙂
Thanks, Kathleen. You know your planes. 🙂
Well, I am an avid air show enthusiast. 😉
Once again, great take on the challenge. I love the airplane photos you started with.
Thanks so much, Milka. 🙂
Wonderful images for this theme AD. 🙂
Thanks so much, LuAnn. 🙂
Every single picture fits so beautifully with this theme, and is so educational. Are you sure you are not a teacher?????
How nice of you to say so, Marsha. I was a music teacher. Does that count? 🙂
ha! the comment above this one “got a crick in my neck’ is funny! yes, great images! i think i liked the lighthouse the most, as it was so ‘right there’ z
Thanks so much, Lisa. 🙂
I love your up photos. You always inspire me! 🙂
Thanks so much, Marsha. What a lovely thing to say. 🙂 xx
great collection of “up” photos. i especially love the airplanes!
Thanks so much, young man. 🙂
Up, up and awaaayyyy!!!
Lovely pics AD 😉
Thanks, 68. Glad you enjoyed the pics. 🙂
Well done hubby for not falling over getting those pics. Nice one. Loved all the photos.
Thanks so much, Susan. 🙂
Ah, now we get to see the up view of the Balinese temple! Nice! And I love your profile pics of George Washington and Chief Crazy Horse. Great UPs for the challenge, Sylvia!
Thanks, Cathy. Yes, I thought the profile pics were a bit different. 🙂
Yes, the Chief Crazy Horse certainly still needs a bit of work!
That’s for sure, Lance. They won’t accept government funding for it. Hence the lack of progress. 😕
Interestingly, I forgot the theme, so I got confused after the last airplane pic. 🙂 …. sadly true, but I “looked up” to get the reminder … and then chuckled.
Hahaha……glad you had a chuckle, Frank. 🙂
That is an amazing collection. 😀
Great gallery… 🙂
Thanks, Bams. 🙂

The airshow shots are amazing! Hubby did a great job 🙂
Yes he did. I’m hopeless at photographing moving objects in the sky. 🙂
Me too 🙂
Beautiful shots. Where is the air show? I love air shows 🙂
Thanks, MT. The airshow is held at Virginia Airport, just up the road from Durban.
These are by far the best “up” pics I’ve seen 🙂
Thanks so much, Hopestar. 🙂 Hugs
Great shots and post AD. Love the lighthouse too. 🙂 *hugs*
Thanks so much, Sonel. Hugs to you too. 🙂

Excellent choices, I love the air show shots!
Wonderful shots. Love the lighthouse.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Funny how we do that…. every place seems to have the pros and cons. Things we’d miss if/when we move. I’ve moved more times than I care to remember and have finally come to the conclusion that there just isn’t one perfect place….
Nice UP pics. Always such great choices for each theme.
Love the planes!
I loved the blue, blue, blue sky!!! Pure sunshine.
I thought you’d be up to this one spectacularly!
Great gallery and choice for the challenge. My favorite is the lighthouse of course; I have a fetish for lighthouses. I have joined the challenge too now. Always enjoy landing here.
Amazing pics,my friend!
Really got a crick in my neck AD with this post 😀
