Sydney Tower is one of the tallest in the world, when I went there in 1986. Sydney was a place to be then and now! Great view from the tower with a panoramic view all aound with the quay in the background! See the pictures taken by me. I forgot to take my picture!]]> Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:14:42 +0000 http://en.nomao.com/694288.html http://en.nomao.com/694279.html
Qutab Minar is the one of the oldest towers in the world At 72.5 metres (239 ft) high.base is 14.3 M dia at base and 2.7 at top, it is the tallest brick minaret in the world, The Qutab Complex started in 12th century AD by the Mulsim conqurers (commander of Muhammad Ghori) from the ruines of Old Hindu and Jain temples. The iron Pillar of ChandraGUpta II Vikramaditya'a time of the Jain temple (350 CE) still stands there. It is a world Heritage site and a major Tourist Attraction. After many suisides by jumping from top, going to the top is stopped. I could not put my arms back around the Iron Pillar to get good luck as the belief goes! We had a great visit there in 1986-7.]]> Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:58:29 +0000 http://en.nomao.com/694279.html http://en.nomao.com/674723.html
