the top of that pinnacle

I want to take a photograph from the top of that pinnacle.

Hi,

Does the bolded part make sense to you? Thanks.

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

yes.

But it sounds like a dangerous or precarious or even painful place to take a photo from. Emotion: stick out tongue

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, 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!
