“You can climb on this tower, but you’d better be aware that its stairs and decks are quite narrow. I once climbed with two friends. Initially, no one was on the tower, but a few tourists followed us then. Eventually, everyone was stuck on the tower because of too many visitors, and no one could move up or downstairs. We wandered for some time at several viewing decks at different heights. But we were lucky to view the scenery that I would never forget in my whole life.”

​

The tower and her last sentence again reminded me of another movie. One protagonist thought that there would not be a more brilliant view than here. I imagined the differences between the view from the tower and my current position. Which would help the onlooker understand the essence of a city, the internal sight, or the external gaze from a remote area?
