The Old Man of Stoer, Western Highlands
Can you spot the climber in red ascending the Sea Stack known as the Old Man of Stoer?

Youlgreave, Derbyshire
Or perhaps a more leisurely ascent would be to you liking, climbing amongst the Geraniums to this Derbyshire Cottage Door.

The Quiraing, Isle of Skye
The winding ascent by narrow road to the summit pass of the Quiraing may be more to taste

Jedburgh Abbey, Scottish Borders
Exploring upwards in the skeleton of an old Abbey gives a new perspective on these ancient ruins…and allows you to admire the skill and daring of those early stone masons.

The Hermitage, St. Petersburg, Russia
Nor should you be fooled by this garden….it is in fact the roof top garden created above a part of the famous Hermitage Art Galleries…to explore you do need to ascend.
Just a few suggestions that I hope add some variety to the interpretation of ASCEND the topic for this weeks Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge.
