All along the watchtower

An ancient watchtower on a cliff above the sea as seen through an opening on the balcony of the Amalfi Cathedral in Italy.

I like the framing of this superb watchtower. The light was very hard, but the cliffs that support it look impressive.

Looks like a long way up. Very nice how you have framed it through the opening.

Funny - when I saw this I expected it to be Arabic architecture because of the arch. It's a really interesting perspective for a shot, and very beautiful too.
