Jack Appleton: "A shot from the Manchester Skyline in December 2023 whilst visiting the great city."
EVELYN OAKLEY
Evelyn Oakley: "London towers at sunset from a balcony in East Dulwich. A slight movement of the camera adds atmospheric abstraction - showing how the view looks if I take off my glasses!"
FRANCIS BROWN
Francis Brown: "A rare Tokyo blizzard whips up against high rise towers."
MARKUS DENNIS
Markus Dennis: "Sunset atop the crest of a seven-mile long ridge where gusts sheer trees to mere stumps. These oaks, the 'Twin Towers', have endured by nearness to one another and withstood decades in the forest along a winding single-track trail I often trek in Hancock County, Indiana."
A MICHAEL BEZENER
A Michael Bezener took this picture at Vaseux Lake in British Columbia, Canada: "Methane bubbles released from decaying aquatic vegetation freeze in sequential stacks creating ethereal bubble towers during the frigid temperatures of polar vortex."
ERIKA VALKOVICOVA
Erika Valkovicova: "A Sturgeon Full Moon rising above the Zizkov Television Tower in Prague, Czechia."
COLLEEN O'KEEFE
Colleen O'Keefe: "'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair'. It was one of first thoughts I had upon seeing this amazing art installation called The Rookery at the Chicago Botanic Garden. It is made entirely of willow saplings and one can walk through its nature made towers and tunnels enjoying the feeling of the wind and sun or even just pretend to be in a fairy tale palace."
ALEXANDER ROCHELLE
Alexander Rochelle: "A tower of rocks on a local beach."
SOO KIM
Soo Kim: "A tower of recycle waste from the past week."
NIGEL STEPHENSON
Nigel Stephenson: "The Marina or 'Corn Cob' towers in Chicago are now 60 years old and still look stunning."
STEFANIE HAUGER
Stefanie Hauger: "The North Grandstand in Singapore is an iconic brutalist building from 1933 that I have always adored. Its future is currently unclear as the area is undergoing major redevelopment, so this picture is an everlasting document of it for me. This view is of the rear tower."
MATTHEW LOGAN
Matthew Logan: "As someone who is afraid of heights, I get a pit in my stomach every time I imagine taking these steps to the top of the smokestack."
GRAHAM WOOLLVEN
Graham Woollven: "The Old Light on Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel is a magnificent granite tower built on the highest point of the island. Sadly it proved to be less than perfect in operation, being frequently hidden in mist and fog. It had to be replaced by two lighthouses, one at each end of the island, built much closer to sea level."
SANDRA FRITH
Sandra Frith: "The towers of Canary Wharf juxtaposed with an old wooden dock on the opposite bank of the River Thames in London."
