Tower of white
anchor spent
As earth calls
angels lift
Sinking deeper
holding on
Still she stands
by secret hands

Will it fall over some day?

When I was there, they were in the process of reinforcing the base. Hopefully, that will hold for a while! Otherwise, yes it could really fall over.

My biggest fear is that these posts are the equivalent of grandparents making their children look at slides of their vacation to Arizona. I glad to hear my pictures are something fun to look at and maybe even beautiful. 🙂

Scary to think it might topple over one of these days. It certainly looks precarious. Thanks for sharing your travel photos. 🙂

It’s holding so far thanks to an engineering marvel at the base. They’ll have to keep an eye on it, though!

When I walk to the base, I couldn’t believe how far down it was. It really is sinking into the ground!

That’s something that surprised me, too. I had no idea it had so many intricate architectural features. In person, the details are even more amazing. 🙂

It was part of the first trip I ever took to Europe. While in Florence, we took a drive out to Pisa. 🙂
