get pushed #159 - bird's eye view

i think i'm having vertigo just looking at this. i was fine when i was shooting it, but looking at it now, yowsers!

i'm paired again with kelley @meemakelley this week and her challenge is 'a bird's eye view'. i was going to use the broom but witches' rule is it's only for hallowe'en. darn it! ☺

so...from the 35th floor of the royal bank plaza's south tower, from my boss' office, this is the corner of bay street and front street during rush hour. people on the left are waiting to cross to get to the west side to take their trains at the union station, and the people headed towards the right are off to the bus terminal. the building is the brown building in my august 5th post.

if you are so inclined, you might want to check my mad hatters' post for today: http://365project.org/madhatters/365/2015-08-12 with a little poem i wrote a while back.

oh, i very seldom do this, but my get-pushed partner's low-key portrait, her response to my challenge is awesome, you might want to check it out here: http://365project.org/meemakelley/365/2015-08-12
@meemakelley - kelley, here's my response to your push.

Taking me a while to get my balance with this shot! I've been standing on my head, craning my neck sideways and now I'm in such a state that I have to go to bed! lol. Angles and reflections!

Not a fan of heights! Good that our Lunenburg birds don't have many high places to sit! Like you, this is a vertige moment!

I'm with Francoise and boy am glad she spelled it, I take pills for these moments (inner ear problems affected by the deafness) Hope you recovered quickly. The shadows look like second people.
