Ladder at Battery Kinzie at Fort Worden, outside Port Townsend, Washington.
There are a couple of Forum threads that have been going for quite a while that are loads of fun! If you haven't seen them, or haven't seen them for a while, and you're sitting around looking for something different to do here on Renderosity, check them out!

Up ~~~ and Up!!!!
This is a deeply disturbing pic, Tara! It is lovely to look at, and invites a climb, BUT I keep worrying about what it would be like to get down again. Maybe it's not very high, and I can stop fretting.
up up and away...
My thought is, 'What's at the top?' Will I be met by bright freedom or is there someone waiting for me?
bonne photo!!
What a shot! I love the POV here, and it makes that latter look really tall! I'm always fascinated by these kinds of urban shots! That sky is so nicely blue and the earthy colors are really nice...I guess that's an ocher color? At any rate, I like it. The ladder is both forbidding and inviting and I love that...I'm curious as to what's up top! Great shot.
I also love that over-your-head POV and the way your postwork focuses attention on the ladder terminus...what IS up there? The question remains... What a great shot!
What I find interesting about this is, except for the sky, there are no familiar reference points. It would be easy to view this as a horizontal plane rather than a vertical one. Excellent image and optical illusion.
I like your style. You not just looking at eye level, you realy observe the suroundings. This is an excelent capture.
Excellent shot Tara. The POV and perspective is so good. AND... I see the threads and I wanted to join the pic below, but I couldnt come up with anything, even not a subject for the next LOL ! I liked your suggestion for the camping equipment ;-)
wonderful shot. make my legs hurt just looking at it
Cool POV and this could be part of the fire escape theme from months past and congratulations on “Things Are Looking Up” being chosen for the 30th Edition - Last Week in the Gallery 2010 Dana
excellent beautiful!!
Hmmm - well, that's actually a familiar view... I've been the guy at the bottom of the ladder for so long, I've gotten used to this view! An excellent perspective shot, actualy! The curvy concrete section gives it a bit of an Art Deco feel. Cool shot, Tara!
fantastic POV and composition !
a feel to be on top of the world comes alive and reals in the fun wonderful capture warm hugs, Linda Kaye
Love the comments above...and your picture for sure:P As I recall this ladder is in a firing pit for one of the big 12" guns that used to guard the entrance to Puget Sound. This ladder certainly would have seen a lot of use by young gun crewmen scampering up and down it between 1910 and the early 1940s. Today it sits quietly by without a purpose...and probably will for another 100 years or so.
They certainly are--just makes me want to climb up and see what's what!!
Cool picture!!
Nice shot Tara thats right put me on the bottom of the ladder but at least its a ladder and not a snake I would have to slide down.. ;-)
Very proverbial and fitting in your life Dierbaar! And we know what's at the top!!! :)) What a shot!!! My neck just cringes... Hehehe...
Great perspective. Nicely seen.
Yep! I'm OK at climbing up but not too hot on getting back down again! Fine shot Tara! Rob
This is a really cool shot Tara...I would like to see what at the top...someday
Humph - looks like our corporate ladder at work - less rungs though! Great POV, Clive
