Weekly Photo Challenge: Down

Weekly Photo Challenge: Down
It’s hard to think of down without thinking of its opposite: up. As a matter of fact, we use the expression up and down quite often. We anticipate that what goes up, must eventually, go down. Down can also describe our moods. No one wants to feel down, on the other hand, people who are down to earth put everyone else at ease. Here are my pick of photos that express down. It wasn’t difficult to find examples, I have quite a few. What was more difficult was deciding which ones to include. Let me know which you like.

I like looking down, seeing how everyday things get smaller, the higher up you are. These houses, for example, look as small as matchboxes. Imagine how large those rocks above are even at a distance.
Looking down, Table Mountain

Visitors on line waiting to climb the Eiffel Tower look tiny, a little higher up and they’d look as small as ants.

    All are excellent examples of the prompt – DOWN! Great job! 🙂

  7. The Eiffel Tower pic is cool. I like looking down from the top of tall structures and seeing all the ants marching around. It makes you realize how small we are.

    1. Thanks, Scott. In the scheme of things, we sure are miniscule.
