@Nick Passantino: Tell me about it.... thanks Nick.
How was the ride? Never sat on these type of chairs before! Must be really thrilling :) Anyway, great view of the place! Love that I can see the human and physical environment.

@Elle: Thanks Elle. It was quite slow but a bit unnerving having no seat belt. The chairs do rise high away from the ground at one point. There was always a safety net underneath, but it being made of wire didn't exactly reassure me. Still, only 5 people have died on the ride in 10 years. Not bad.
WOw this is really interesting way of transportation. im just wondering, is there a seat belt on this thing?

@Levine: No seat belt! Thanks Levine.
Well....I think thay need a cable car. In summer, it might be fine.....but in winter...Anyway, better than having to do the climbing to the top! Not all people are that athletic! You survived, which means that it works! Now....what wouldn't a passionate photographer do just to capture the things he wants to?????

@standley: Thanks standley. There were people coming down behind me (it was the end of the day so no-one going up).
Never try that kind of chairlift, I use to ride on ski chairlift with a safety bar. Good point of view, getting down! vu@granby - Gilles Martineau

@vu@granby: Thanks Gilles!
I don't think I would have been able to sit on it, I would have had to do the climb, a brilliant shot though.

@MaryB: Thank you Mary!
I like the ebb and flow of this image, the ride up to the castle looks exciting.

@DarkElf: Thanks DarkElf!
Mmm looks like fun!

@Damon Schreiber: Bit chilly though...
Personally, I don't like those kinds of rides (acrophobia), and I don't see any seat belts.

@Twelvebit: Yep, no seat belts Twelvebit!
this shot's pretty cool too. i have to agree with twelvebit that i wouldn't want to go up in there though.

@danthro: I was a little nrevous, but it was very slow and not windy... Thanks danthro!
