Perspective

And just to put the previous post into perspective, the image on the right is of St Mary's Cathedral and the red arrow points at the corner of the parapet where I was standing looking up to take the photo earlier that same day.

You can see the statue of St George in its niche just above the arrowhead. I guess it's probably more or less life size.

The parapet is about three feet high or so, pretty much waist height, and it looks a longer way down when you're up there than it looks from the ground!
