the aliens have landed

not! this is the pod of the CN tower. i was having lunch in our staff room when i looked at the tower and saw that there were four idiots who were about to 'walk the edge'. here, they are still being lectured before the actual walk. that lecture took almost thirty minutes. i say they're idiots because if i have that much money to pay for that edge walk, i'd rather spend it on the real thing, which is skydiving. this edge walk consists of walking around the perimeter of the pod. you are harnessed three or four different ways. but really where is the thrill in that? but to each his own, n'est-ce pas?

I so agree with you re walking! A great shot of the pod.

More to the point, how do you get good pictures all strung up like that?

They look so tiny compared to the tower. Having done a few skydive jumps in the past, I don't think I would feel the need to walk around the pod.

The SkyWalk wasn't open when we were across the Pond - but if it had been we would have had to have been a couple of those 'idiots'.

With my camera, i would be one of those idiots thinking of the views I could take. Nice processing

You really are obsessed with aliens, aren't you? For me it would take more guts than money to do something like that but more power to the fools that want to try

It does look like a space ship.

Ha- if I'm going to be that high up in the air, there's no way I'm hurling myself toward earth! I'll stay put in the hot air balloon. This, although I'm sure the view is amazing, would have me frozen in fear and unable to move! Great shot though!

The thrill is in having done something a bit daring while ensuring you won'r die doing it! I walked the Sydney harbor bridge in much the same way and can assure you there is still a rush for having done it!
