Another one for six word story...for Thanksgiving...and for fun to get back to some b&w. This is the temporary condo we are living in -- our unit is just one floor below where that horizontal outcrop is up on the roofline. You can see the (terrifying) balconies on two sides and hopefully the feeling of height. Just behind the tree is the green building from one of my night shots a few days ago.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
If you have time, check out Thanksgiving greetings from P3 in the Toys Group album, as he posts on Thursdays: http://365project.org/365toygroup/365/2014-11-27
Hope you are as settled in as you can be, Taffy, and I hope it's not too long before you are back in your own home! I know Thanksgiving is a very big occasion in the US, so I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Great to see your temporary living quarters from this perspective - great perspective, shot and conversion by the way. Terrifying balconies? Why, they even have railings! :) Only joking: I have lots of sympathy with your fear of heights, but I think you are managing it very well!
@ericdibosco But the balconies are not very large and the railings have clear glass so you can see really far down as soon as you step out! And it's cold and windy. Maybe if we are still here in spring? But I just realized I may be able to have access to the rooftop deck, even though it is closed for the season, and the window in my study opens to the west and has no screen in it. All good things!
Oh my gosh, living there must be a real hardship Taffy. What a great temporary home for you. Love the shot, gives a great sense of perspective and space.
Well, this definitely gives us clue as to why it's an act of bravery to step out on your balcony — you're waaaay off the ground up there! The b&w presentation combined with that moody sky adds an intimidating feel to this image.
Thank you for your compliment on my Candlelit picture the other day. Really appreciate that, and the holiday wishes as well. Hope yours was blessed in many ways.
WHOA....great pov and that is quite high for someone who does not like heights. Your views from there are incredible ...and know you will enjoy that ...perhaps from the safety of the inside of the condo more then the outside. Lovely place, but know it will be nice to get back to your "real" home.
Makes my knees go weak looking up yet alone going out on your balcony and looking down!! Great shot Taffy - really makes the most of the height of the building with your pov!! I know you will be very happy here in your temporary home!!
I keep waving as I travel the highway through the city knowing you watch traffic whizzing by. My trip tomorrow (Sat) will be by train so I'll have to wave, instead, as I trundle by on the trolley. Hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
You've captured the building well -- you convey how tall it is, yet you also show more realistically how it looks than it might have turned out if you had made the shot dramatic in perspective. Nice balance! And great building.
Happy Thanksgiving.
