From the window by maggiemae

From the window

of our room at the hotel. I am typing this on my new macbook air and it is so much faster than the iPad. I am not going to jump off this tower as some people seem to want to do.

Three good things:
1. Family gradually arriving from all points
2. A wonderful meal at a Turkish restaurant.
3. John is signing 120 books for tonight and it almost finished.
Cool shot

What a great view. Thank you for sharing it. I love the detail in the tower and yet it is still a shadowy form .

Are you staying in the Sky hotel...we did one night & you could see them jumping off! You will love your mac air if it's quick......speed is everything isn't it? John will have writers cramp....one thing you can't help him do that! Have a fabulous meet up, will be so good just to all be together!

@happypat Thank you Pat, nice to hear your messages. Yes, we are staying at the Skycity Grand.

when you say people jumping off, is it like for recreation or fun (which is crazy to us sane people) or just wanting to end it all (which could be quite messy, methings). enjoy your macbook air and your reunion with the family.

@summerfield they do it for the thrill and pay loads of money to do it!

Great shot!! My friend did the jump while I stood below videoing her. That's as near to the jump as I would like to get - they must be mad!!

I love the mixture of reflection and what's outside. Also glad you're not jumping! Fav

Love the reflections and colors. Fav!

A nice image

Nice reflective composition

Lovely reflection. Our daughter dived off the sky tower on her 18 birthday and screamed all the way down (good swimmer's lungs!) - foolish child had so much fun she went back and did it again!

I didn't realize the jump was for recreation until readiing some of the comments! Love the uniqueness of this shot that appears to be a double exposure and yet isn't!

Have a good time!

Lovely shot with its beautiful reflection of the tower. Yes I too have watched those brave enough to jump. I found it hard enough to look down through the glass floor without stepping out over the edge to jump.

Wonderful shot. I bet you love the new macbook air ; )

Beautiful shot.

Awesome shot, Maggiemae!

@yonnie I do like the macbook but its taking a bit of time transferring all the data from the other one. I'm going round and round in circles!

A neat capture, so glad you are not planning to jump from this! have a wonderful (and probably emotional) family gathering.

Great shot, Maggiemae! I love the reflection in the window. That is a gorgeous tower. It looks a bit like the Seattle Space Needle (which I've been up but clung to the wall the whole time!!). Such lovely lights. It's not cool that people jump. They should put up safe guards.

i am glad i read all the comments to find out why they are jumping off.
May 29th, 2014  
I' m glad like Richard.minitially I thought the worst. Love the shot.
May 29th, 2014  
Wonderful capture!
May 29th, 2014  
I had never thought that, amazingly enough! They pay big money to jump off here in a moment of initial pleasure! Expensive moment! @chard @ceilidh

Rather lovely shot,
May 29th, 2014  
Such a fascinating composition - I didn't know what was real or reflected!
May 29th, 2014  
Sounds like your in for a big weekend! Hope it all goes well.

The tower reminds me of several here stateside- the most well-known being the one in Seattle. I think those silly people should just send their money to me. Cool shot!
