'A View from Above' Photo Challenge

Charmine at ‘Travel It’s Fun’ is hosting a photo challenge with the theme, “A view from above.”

My photos are views from the CN Tower (Observation Deck), Toronto Ontario
I was too afraid to stand on the glass floor with the city 553.33 metres (1,815.4 ft) below me. With my luck, the glass would have broken. Hehehehe

  1. I visited CN Towers years ago, and I could still remember how it felt standing up on the glass floor. I was scared and amazed at the same time :)

  4. Susan,
    You have given me an adrenaline rush just viewing your photos. There isn't enough money in the world to get me up that high. My fear of heights has my heart doing an extra little beat just imagining the prospect of looking through that glass floor. Thanks for an early morning wake up :))
    BTW Thank you so much for your extra kind words on my blog post.

  5. That sure is high!!! I always get a weird feeling when I'm up high like that, like I could jump off and fly!

  6. Such wonderful pictures, Susan. I've not been there, but I did go to the revolving restaurant in Shanghai. It was pretty neat, but it was at night and the view was not so spectacular. This is a great set of photos, thanks for sharing!

  10. What a fantastic view, I haven't been there but would do so in a heart beat. Beautiful photos but I would imagine it even better in person.

    Sorry I am running so behind, my 19 yr old step daughter came down from Anchorage for a visit. It's been a little hectic.

    Hugs,
    Judy
