I like architecture. I often stop to admire a building both for its design and its materials. The other day I was watching a construction worker on a high rise near our apartment. He was about nine floors high walking quickly but carefully along a steel I-Beam. He kept his safety lead hooked to the base wire. As he moved along the beam, he'd unhook and rehook his lead. I just thought how amazing it is for somebody to work that high up. I could never do that job. I get nervous just standing close to the balcony ledge.
I have never been in a building higher than 30 floors. And I could never have an apartment higher than the 10th floor. Although, I am sure the view from a high- rise apartment would be beautiful.
I took the above shot on a sunny day. This view is from the inside of a building on the second floor. For more shadow shots and information on how to join this fun group, visit Hey Harriet's blog.

I too share your fear of heights. Strangely I didn't as a child but now I do. Weird.
I hope you're having an awesome weekend :)
We don't know how people can walk around up there like that - we both are queezy when it gets too high!
Have a great weekend!

I am very fearful of heights. I sometimes watch the painters who climb, year round, on the golden gate bridge. Brave souls they are.
I couldn't visit my M-I-L in hospital once because her room was too high up with large windows, I was spooked.
I am like you, don't like heights..
Hope you have a nice day.
Cheers from chilly Stockholm...
Sara, you are right about not giving in to unfounded fears. Maybe one day, I will challenge that U-shaped lookout that hangs (with a clear glass floor) over the Grand Canyon.
Sweet Repose and Harriet, I think the blue is the reflection from the glass and the camera setting I chose. I forgot to make a note of that in my original post.
and yes, wouldn't that Grand Canyon lookout be the ultimate test to get over a fear of heights?
thanks for sharing,
