the top of that pinnacle

Hi,

yes.

But it sounds like a dangerous or precarious or even painful place to take a photo from.

I do not often hear people use that phrase. It sounds odd. A pinnacle is the top of something / the highest point / culmination. So what do we mean by top of top?
Anyway, when I hear 'standing on the top of a pinnacle', I feel hurt like he.. :-)

Thanks, Clive.

Hope you know what you're talking about:

Thanks, HT.

I have the same feeling.

Hi Marius,
I stand corrected.
I misread the sentence, thinking of 'on' instead of 'from'. That would be too sharp!
