~The World beneath my Feet ~

A new Friendly Friday challenge from Amanda this week “Beneath my Feet”.

This brought to mind being up high and looking down at the world beneath my feet. You don’t have to be in an aeroplane to see the world below or up high in a building, sitting in a cable car or on a chair lift brings you closer to nature.

Back down to earth again. Nothing like digging your toes in the sand and letting the waves lap over your feet.

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.

Riding in a cable car is definitely the best way to see the world below.
