not for the faint of heart by summerfield

not for the faint of heart

a dozen people crazy enough to do the edgewalk up at the CN tower. it's toronto's newest and tallest attraction where adventure lovers take a walk OUTSIDE – around the circumference of the roof of the restaurant! that's about 356m/1,168ft above the ground.

if you want adventure, satisfy the daredevil in you. costs only $175 plus applicable taxes (13%) for a 1.5 hour total experience with a 20-30 minutes outdoor walk.

-o0o-

caught this on my way back to work after my tall ships walk about.

i'm getting used to the new lens albeit slowly. it has autofocus but the results are terrible so it's on manual focus all the time. i've missed some good shots because i'm effing slow to focus. must have new glasses made. aargh!

thank you for your kind visits and comments; they are much appreciated. catching up on yours right about now.
Your zoom is so good! The figures look so clear and so far away/up! Not for me, though - makes me feel dizzy just to look at it!

I agree your photo is so clear, amazing. Outstanding capture.

great shot of something I would most definitely not attempt!!

I am on mu iPad so I could super zoom on this.. Are they on safety harnesses or something? Wow! That would be a scary sensation. Sorry about your autofocus problems...do you know why it is so slow?

@espyetta - no, it's not the lens that is slow, it's me. i can't focus right away because i have bad eyes. normally, i would put the lens on autofocus especially for far objects, then i will switch to manual before i press the shutter. but with this new lens, the autofocus is not as sharp so i had to focus manually.

@espyetta - thank you, MB. yes they are on harness and they're walking on a narrow glass panel outside in the open air. apparently there are more than one harness so that if one fails the crazy customer is still safe. safe but crazy!!!

I must say this appeals to me.

June 22nd, 2013

Ooohh! Not for me! Great perspective! They look so tiny way up there!

great capture, crazy! I used to like adrenaline activities. I prefer keeping my feet on the ground now.

Great capture Vikki. I would love to experience that but not sure if I would be brave enough
June 23rd, 2013  
amazing capture - but not a chance that I would EVER do that!

Well that's a pricey adventure! Boy, I'd tell myself I must do this because when will I have the opportunity to do it again. But the whole time I'd be plastered to the side of the building and no where near the edge! lol This gives me butterflies just looking at those people! Good catch!
