Welcome to Week 111 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.  This week’s theme is a bit of a departure from previous ones.

It was a lot of fun reading all of your fantastic posts for last week’s theme!  For this week’s theme of Height, my inspiration came from my recent business trip to Vancouver, British Columbia.  I was there for the OpenStack Summit, which was a great conference with lots of interesting sessions, but most important opportunity to meet with partners, customers and colleagues to discuss directions and challenges.  As I was lucky enough to receive a wonderful package of gift passes from the Vancouver Convention & Visitors Bureau, I managed to take several hours away from the conference and do a quick bit of sightseeing.

An amazing cliff walk at the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park in North Vancouver provided the Height for this week’s theme.  Your challenge is to capture something that gives a sense of height, whether it is a physical of metaphysical one.  Look to bring out the sense of departure from the everyday plateau, at which we usually find ourselves!

I can’t wait to see what you might create, as I’m confident that you will reach new heights!

This is the cliff walk…

Cliff walk at Suspension Bridge Park

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park has the center piece of the suspension bridge that crosses the chasm; it floats approximately 70m (230ft) above the river.  At the same height is this cliff walk, which consists of multiple segments that are connected to the rock face.  This walk definitely provides a true feeling of being at quite a height!

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

I’m looking forward to seeing what might ring true in your posts!

  6. There’s NO WAY I could go out on that walkway!

    1. LOL!! I have vertigo, and have to actively fight those tendencies when I am on any high location, such as this. It does present a perverse thrill to do this 🙂

      1. Your bridge looks really very interesting and fascinating for me, so you were lucky to have been there really! I have visited such a quite long but free standing bridge leading through the treetops over longer distance more recently, unfortunately it was vibrating and also moving a little bit. Although not so high, I felt an uneasiness but such places are always spectacular and require sometimes a price to be paid.

      2. They are interesting…I also went across the suspension bridge, which swayed from side to side and had lots of up and down motion due to the large number of people crossing it. Makes for a great challenge to have my brains stay in control over my body 🙂

      3. I tend toward full-blown panic attacks at times … heights are one thing that will trigger them. That said, I DO routinely challenge myself to get outside my comfort zone.

      4. Agreed.
