3 Steps to the moon

Finished work on time as I needed to get to Sainsbury's to get a few more things for the cake. The only think I had to do tonight was try to get it finished.
However on the way home the sky was clear and a full moon out. I have been waiting to try and take this shot or the one here for a while. With this weeks theme of STEP I took the chance to go up to Carlton hill to photograph the Acropolis. More info at the end. I like the way the three big steps lead you into the columns and the moon. Shame it’s slightly over exposed for the moon but I didn't have too much time to play around tonight and it was freezing up there. Still might have to be this week’s entry.

Came home and managed to sculpture the cake into the right shape. Tried to do the icing by the kitchen was too hot with the oven cooking tea. Will have to try and get it finished on Saturday morning.

Just need to get things ready for the trip to Brum tomorrow.

The acropolis is in fact an unfinished monument - originally called the "National Monument". Initiated in 1816, a year after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, it was meant to be a replica of the Parthenon in Athens, as a memorial to those who had died in the Napoleonic Wars.

Building began in 1822, but funds ran dry and celebrated Edinburgh architect William Playfair only saw a facade of his building completed. It was dubbed "Edinburgh's shame", but it's now a popular landmark and it's a lot of fun crawling up and down its giant steps. Plans since to complete the building never really get much support.
