Friday, April 19: Today’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is Up. Up can be a direction, an orientation, or even a movement.
Here’s looking up at the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Superb selection for ‘UP’ Cathy! The Eiffel tower and Ibra are my picks 🙂
Thanks so much, Madhu! 🙂
The Budda is my favorite so far !! Wonderful !
Thanks so much, Kathryn! 🙂
Lovely “up” pictures, although they’d be beautiful from any angle. The Eiffel Tower shot made me smile, as it resembles (to my mind at this moment), a huge, metal alien or sumo wrestler, legs spread wide for balance, looming up over the puny humans. 🙂

(I love your header shot, too.)
That’s so funny, Janet, and I have to agree with you! Sumo wrestler or alien, both are perfect descriptions! Thanks for visiting and for your kind words. 🙂
I love the Buddha’s, too hard to choose just one!
Thanks so much, Gilly. 🙂
this theme was obviously made for you.
Thank you, mrscarmichael! 🙂

They are all great choices For such an immense Buddha, you really captured the head perfectly. Mine wasn’t so good.
Thanks, Lynne. It was really hard to get a good shot of that Buddha. All my other pictures turned out horribly!! 🙂
Super shots. Buddha looks noble…
Thanks, Amy. Because he’s so huge, it’s hard to get a good shot of him! 🙂

Nice ups, Cath. I’m going buddha too, though I do like Ibra. 🙂
Thanks so much, Jo! 🙂
Great collection.I love the colours and patterns in the Buddhist temple.
Thanks so much, Elaine. I always loved the colors in Korea’s Buddhist temples. 🙂
Wow! These are unreal! Excellent interpretations!
Thanks so much, Melissa! 🙂
Yes, I think you like to look up a lot – and there’s some connection between that and your inquisitive mind! Great photos!
Thanks so much for your kind words, Lynn. 🙂

Petra is on my bucket list for sure!
You will love it, Tina! It’s truly amazing, but make sure you have some really great walking shoes! 🙂
Ah, Cathy – wonderful shots! Love them, and also the thought of your enthusiasm, getting down to shoot up at them like that 🙂
Thanks so much, Meredith! 🙂
I love the angles, looking up at the various architecture gives a new perspective.
Thanks so much, Lily. 🙂
Gorgeous shots, Cathy. I’ve been to Jordan four times – but only the airport on the way somewhere else. I’d love to visit Petra one day 🙂
Marianne, I hope you make it to Petra. I have to say, it’s the one place I’ve been that doesn’t disappoint. 🙂
You have really travelled far and wide. I enjoyed looking at your collection.
Thanks so much, Colline! 🙂

You certainly have some marvelous photos for this challenge, Cathy. I think the Buddha is my favourite. 🙂
Thanks so much, Sylvia! 🙂
As always, amazing shots!
Thank you, Nando! 🙂
You’ve stood underneath some amazing landmarks, Cathy! Terrific collection. 😉
Thanks so much, Ruth!
I really like the stairs to the Watchtower.
Thanks so much, Allan! 🙂
Very impressive group of shots here Cathy. I really hope to go to Petra on day.
You would love it, Rosie. Petra is one of the few tourist spots I’ve visited that absolutely does NOT disappoint. 🙂
Wow great shots, making us look up to you, eh?
That’s right, Marco. Keep looking up to me!! You won’t be sorry. 🙂
Hehe and you look down at the peasants in the dirt? work harder work faster *you crack the whip* that rental car won’t clean itself!
Haha, you are so right. Just call me “Massah” and bow when you say it. 🙂
okay massah, whatever you say, massah. shall we clean your house while we’re at it, massah? set fire to things you don’t like, massah?
Hahahaha, you’re hilarious, Marco! Please, do set fire to those things i don’t like. 🙂
Hmmmm lots of promise in that statement – let’s see I have everything to start a fire expect matches – shall I use the toaster? Nah, better get some matches…
I think the toaster will be slow going. A slow drying out rather than a conflagration. 🙂
Do you think laundry would dry if you shove it into the toasting slot? More as an experiment in conflagration than anything else.
Yes, that would definitely be an experiment in conflagration!
rub some benzine into the stains first…set to toast and stand back…hehe
Great photos! I especially love the Acropolis, Watchtower, Monastery and of course Eiffel! 🙂
Thanks so much, Michael. 🙂
