Sightseeing and climbing many ancient ruins in Southeast Asia lead to a very unpleasant discovery about myself: I have acrophobia, fear of heights. It’s not just the niggling worry of getting too close to the ledge. I actually get lightheaded, imbalanced when I peer down.
It seems to be a recent development. A bit of an inconvenience considering how I like to frame Downward pictures because I find them Dramatic. And that I like to rock-climb, hike, ride horses, ski… What a bother, this condition.
At the Angkor Wat sites:
Whoa. Fish eye does a wonderful job of distorting proportion to reflect my dizzy spell.

That’s not pleasant having a fear of heights. I can be a bit wary myself in certain circumstances. Although I’ve never had any issues when flying in a small aircraft, I absolutely hate going up ladders!
Love that fish-eye shot :-)

Haha. That’s a great comparison between the plane and the ladder!

Fergie, I have another fear. Fear of missing out and fear of regretting. So I try to brush everything side to pursue my curiosity’s desire :)
