Thematic Photographic 146: Aerial

This is probably the most testing theme I've seen since I started participating in Carmi's weekly photographic fun (for other posts see here)




I can't seem to come up with any lateral thinking idea, and I've no pics taken from a space shuttle or an aeroplane...






So herewith some shots taken from high(ish) places: please click to enlarge

An intersection in Barcelona, taken from the roof of Gaudi's "La Pedrera":


Monastery almost aerial, in Meteora, Greece:


Two shots of the beautiful blue Mediterranean, from high up 
on the cliffs of Capri:





And Portofino, taken from the Castle at the top of the town:



Lastly and laterally, Ariel from A Midsummer Night's Dream





Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.

Alexia
