There is something absolutely nerve racking about being inside a cable car in the elements with only the floor between you and the depths below. It is quite eerie sitting there in the deathly quiet except for the clanking of the machinery.
Bana Hills Cable Car
Riding in a cable car is definitely the best way to see the world below.

Wonderful photos, Alison! Your first one at Santiago de Compostela is my favourite but they are all great.
I love looking up in churches and cathedrals
Me too!!
Well done Ali! You are much braver than I am riding in those cable cars! I have a hard time imagining that the machinery is kept is perfect working order LOL. Even when skiing I struggle to feel safe going up. That said, I have to agree there is no better way to see the landscape below than in the cars and when we travel I overcome my fears – mostly! I wouldn’t have thought of the Lego description of HK but it’s perfect. Terrific response to the challenge.
Thanks for your lovely comments Tina, it does get quite scary up there especially if they stop half way across!
Wow! What a great selections from Spain, India, HK… , Ali!! Excellent response. 🙂
Thanks Amy, it was a fun challenge
I love riding in cable cars although I agree it can be a little unnerving 🙂 I enjoyed seeing your photos of Hong Kong and Da Nang – I would like to have ridden the cable car in the latter but we had too little time in that area to see anything beyond Hoi An. Another time perhaps …
It was about the third time we have been that we actually did it. So amazing and such a long way up!
Wonderful assortment of up and down views! I really loved the cathedral in Spain picture- seems like you would be looking up for a long time taking it all in 🙂
Thanks Meg, yes you end up with an aching neck, so much detail to look at
Wowwww. Great perspectives!!
Thanks 🙂
We enjoy cable car rides too. They’re a great way to see the surrounding area.
So much fun, but definitely not in the wind and rain as we did in Tasmania!
Well, yes. That might not be so pleasant.
Strangely I felt quite relaxed on the Hong Kong cable car but I was terrified on the one in Singapore because it stopped suddenly and left us stranded in mid air for several minutes.
They can be terrifying if they start swinging about!
