Thank you! Actually, it is a couple of the wide boards used as the railings on our decks here. It was twilight and I stepped out on the deck intending to take a scenic shot but instead had another idea, so I experimented until at just the perfect angle I was able to aim through the two boards and with the wide angle lens capture the water below me plus the adjacent pier and the reflection of one of the glowing lights on the pier....
And one of the best rock-climbing sites in North America! One of the greatest Canadian (and world) climbers - Marc-Andre Leclerc - made it his home-away-from-home (he was born in Agassiz, died climbing in the Mendenhall Ice Field region of Alaska).
Wow! What library is this and where is it? How beautiful!
I found it. Boston Public Library. I would love to see this in person.
It's very sad
Some of these locations are not to be taken lightly. Not too long ago, a photographer in another forum (Nam Ing) I used to frequent died from a long fall on a back-woods hike at Multnomah Falls, Oregon. I believe it was on an unofficial path that gets you to a great photo-op, but not much will stop you if you slip. He was a dedicated photographer and took some fantastic landscape shots.
Oh, no doubt. Simply being alive is risky. I can understand why some would climb mountains, even if I could never see myself doing it!
I looked at his Flicker site; gorgeous photos! I live in Oregon and have been to Multnomah Falls many times though I regret I have not ever had a photo opportunity there. So sorry this great talent in Nam Ing is lost.Some of these locations are not to be taken lightly.

He wasn't even "mountain climbing" in the traditional sense. Sometimes we get so caught up in one thing we lose sight of another altogether.
Here's Nam's memoriam Flickr page. He would post a series of amazing shots and talk about the time and effort that went into setting up and being in the right places at the right times.
