This week’s travel theme is UP. I love the animated film UP! It is such a cool story and imaginations soar 🙂 When I was in Australia I saved my pennies to take a hot air balloon ride over Uluru, AKA as Ayres Rock. Unfortunately it rained the few days I was there, so I didn’t get to do that. Another time. This past week I saw photos of hot air balloons over the exotic landscapes in Turkey. I dream of going UP and experiencing things from a new perspective.
As I continue to dream of hot air balloon rides I found another picture from a different perspective of the Pearl Tower here in Shanghai. It was a rainy day last June and I went down to Lujiazui to the Apple Store. When I came out I looked UP and saw the Pearl Tower from a different point of view.

What or who do you look UP to?
As always…. stay tuned 🙂

Sorry about the rain at Uluru – but just think how extraordinary it was that you got to experience rain there 🙂
Yes the rain was fantastic! A water fall off the rock…. a real rare occurance and I am glad I saw it. Hot air balloon can wait… that was worth missing it for 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Diana
that a cool picture

Thanks 🙂
I had the opportunity for a balloon trip in Turkey – Cappadochia, and I regret not doing it now. But the fairy chimneys were amazing from the ground too.
I wish to get there one day…. I hope I could do both 😉
Thanks for the visit 🙂
I loved the movie UP – and I cried. Nice to see you around here! 🙂
I think that movie is one of my favs.
I am jealous of the warm temps you are having and clear blue skies… I am working on a post now about our weather blahs and the pollution that has been teribble.
the Pearl Tower looks cool even in a rainy day! Great shots!
Another message that was spammed 😦 Sorry about that. Very strange!
It is eerie how the clouds make the top disappear. Happened to see the tower in a new perspective and thought it may make a cool shot. Glad you liked it. Thanks.
it happened to me more than a few times. Glad to hear from you!
I am glad I checked the spam box! I know new commenters sometimes go there, but not usually the regulars 😉 I will keep an eye out for this more often now.
Take care and thanks for visiting.
Hi Amy, I sent you a message and it came back to me. Very strange! Not sure if you also got it though???
I just commented that I was glad I checked my spam and found your comments. It doesn’t usually happen to the regulars. I will be sure to check more often so I don’t miss you again. Thanks again for taking the time to comment and visit 🙂
Who do I look up to? Well, I’ve been very conscious that my “baby” boy is now taller than me and I have to look up at him. sigh
😉
Oooh… sort of eerie! Very nice shots!
Thank you. The rain and fog are always kind of eerie… it makes everything quieter too.
I know your students look “UP” to you!
🙂 Thanks. I was off sick for 2 days and I went in today for an assembly practise and they were so happy to see me. Nice feeling to be missed and looked up to.
That is a great feeling!
Yes it is nice to be missed 🙂
Beautiful tower. Is that smog in the background or fog? I bet the view is amazing from the top. Have a great weekend.
When I took that photo it was fog and rain. More recently it would be smog.
