From a recent vacation.

Exact height measurements vary, but it is over 555 ft.


There was a gap of many years in construction between starting in 1848 and ending in 1884, and the top was made of a different stone which does not match the lower portion.

Hi Bob:

First three shots Pentax 12-24.
Fourth is Sigma 18-50.
Last two are Tamron 70-200.

Even more nice shots. #2 is very striking and bold, and the light in the last one is beautiful.

Thanks, Mike. The 12-24 frequently makes it look like I used a polarizer, but I don't :-)
