Whoa.. Brilliant and nauseating in one go!! Not being from Mexico,err Melbourne :lol: I've got no idea what it is but I really felt like that wall was going to fall on me :shock:

Print and frame it, but dont put it above the dining table, nobody will keep their dinner down!!

And here was I thinking when I read the title of this thread that you were breaking the news that Bono just announced on Andrew Denton's "Enough Rope" that the U2 "Vertigo" tour will be going ahead in November (yay!)....

Fantastic shot Pharmer - the perspective, the colouring, the lens flare - it all works so well together. Well done!

This is a great image on so many different levels. A nice different view of the shot-tower, an angle i've certainly never seen before. Great work.

Lovely shot, great eye, and it'd be on my POTW shortlist.
The geometry is great, it looks like a space station, a tunnel, or what it really is a interesting tower.

A very aptly titled image. I feel slightly dizzy looking at it. :D

This shot is very interesting as it can be viewed as looking up or looking down. It is amazing how the mind can look at this type of picture and in a split second become confused by - am I looking up or down :?:

Great perspective - thanks for sharing

I just love this type of architectural shot. You've pulled this off beautifully. Composition is spot on, great leading lines and, very importantly, extremely well exposed with no blown highlights which is a real challenge with a shot like this. We even get the lovely blue of the sky. Thanks for sharing this one.

The shot was much easier to expose in the early morning light. No direct sunlight on the cone/tower when I took it

:)
