uncle phil 11-19-2009 09:22 AM

st basil's cathedral?

BadNick 11-19-2009 11:35 AM

amonkie, right idea...go up another 81 feet or so and you'll find me

unc, not this time. But I think we were already there a while back.

amonkie 11-19-2009 12:41 PM

City of Capitals isn't complete yet, but at 948 ft(I believe), so its either that or Naberezhnaya Tower (881 feet, but only 14 feet taller than the Triumph at 867 ft).

uncle phil 11-19-2009 01:36 PM

ostankino tower?

Ostankino Tower, Moscow | Emporis.com

BadNick 11-19-2009 05:08 PM

unc, that tower is cool and I'm going to check it out further...but I'm not there.

However, amonkie has found me ...I am found, I am found! << kinda like being saved, but even better.

amonkie,
while it isn't complete yet, I believe it is already considered the highest skyscraper in Europe, at the 948' you mentioned, since it is already "topped out". From several sources I found that they have this criteria in common:

...includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. Existing structures are included for ranking purposes based on present height. This list includes under construction buildings that have already been topped out...

amonkie 11-19-2009 05:53 PM

Ok. I'm hidden.

amonkie 11-19-2009 06:47 PM

Nope.. not in this case. And its a little unsteady for a sofa where I am.

my misc. musings: I keep thinking of your "Polo!" and unsteady on the couch comments thinking you're on horseback playing polo in Jamaica. Don't fall and wear protection.

amonkie 11-20-2009 07:49 AM

I'm not on an island.

But.. Don't make Mother Nature mad at you. She has a way of taking the wind out of your sails.

BadNick 11-20-2009 08:14 AM

I'm still trying to use the polo clue...are you on that cruise ship Marco Polo? Marco Polo - Cruise Ships I haven't figured out where it might be right now.

amonkie 11-20-2009 12:23 PM

No... but there is also clue in my previous comment about Mother Nature.

BadNick 11-20-2009 01:30 PM

The Doldrums? Are you floating aimlessly in the doldrums off the Atlantic Coast of Africa? aka Intertropical Convergence Zone aka Horse Latitudes?


From Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner:
...
All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody Sun, at noon,
Right up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the Moon.

Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
...

uncle phil 11-20-2009 01:50 PM

the gulf stream?

amonkie 11-20-2009 04:18 PM

Getting closer with Gulf stream... you guys never played Marco Polo as a kid? Always gotta get away without making any noise, how would you do that?
