The Aborigines dont like people climbing it, but its not against the law and many try and do it, some dying in the process. Following exert taken from this link

Climbing Uluru - The local indigenous community request that visitors respect the sacred status of Uluru by not climbing the rock, with signs posted to this effect. In 1983 the former Prime Minister of Australia, Bob Hawke, promised to respect the request from the community that climbing Uluru be prohibited, but broke his promise when title was handed to the traditional owners in 1985 because access for tourists to climb Uluru was made a condition before they could receive the title. The climb crosses an important dreaming track, which has been a cause of sadness and distress among traditional owners. Neverthless, they are unable to prohibit climbing, and climbing Uluru is a popular attraction for a large fraction of the many tourists who visit it each year. A rope handhold makes the climb easier, but it is still quite a long and steep climb and many intended climbers give up partway up. There are several deaths a year as a direct result of climbing the rock, mainly from heart failure.

Manhattan.

And zoom in on all the tops of the skyscrapers, where the architects really let themselves go.

If the aboriginals own It, then why not take out the climbing chain?

That's a crackin' zoom lens you've got yourself there Phil. Was it from near your house or over the water?

Over the water?
Yes, the Atlantic.

Funnily enough I did take the photo, but it's a photo of one of a set of posters I've got.

After Crewe, Huddersfield is the most uninspiring place I've ever visited.

I like me industrial mill towns! I am possibly the only person who likes Bradford and Burnley. So Huddersfield would just be another mill town for my camera to have an airing in. :)

However, I do realise that my taste in places doesn't appeal to most. The previous posts prove this, others want to travel the world, and I want to sit on the M62!

Sorrento, across the Bay of Naples. I am very well travelled but believe me this awesomely romantic place ticks every box, especially for romantics. No wonder the song says that if you ever go you shall return time after time. I sure will

Places around Europe with my Camera, I would like to do as well.

I want to do this when I can afford to.

Hopefully, the cities will be more lit up than Liverpool at night.:Smiliz_Kingz_PDT_13

Sorrento is beautiful as you so state... How is Sicily? any insights on that ?
