Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Outdoor Ways to Move Up & Down


Ups & Downs on Holidays

I found a few appropriate photos for this challenge amongst my holiday photos.

Climbing Walls are not a way I would choose to get up and down, you climb up and abseil down.

The climbing wall on Ovation of the Seas

Observation wheels which are really just super sized Ferris Wheels take you up above and back down again, in a roundabout sort of way. The North Star, an observation capsule onboard Ovation of the Seas does the same thing.

The Brisbane Wheel takes you up and down in a roundabout way.

The Brisbane Wheel at Southbank was just a dress rehearsal for the Singapore Flyer.

Going up and down, and round on the Singapore Flyer.

As we often docked at freight terminals we also saw a lot of cranes especially at Port Klang, Malaysia

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.
