I was afraid that I'd get dizzy from the height but it was actually not any big deal. I've had worse vertigo from leaning over the railing in the mall and looking down at the first floor than from this. Maybe its because the height was so absurd, or maybe it was because the building felt so solid, I dont know.
From a distance.
R is hyper riding up the glass elevator to the first observation deck:
We ate at the restaurant at the first level. The view of Toronto was amazing. Its neat looking down at the helicopters and tops of airplanes. I like this shot because R looks like the girl from Amelie, which is a movie I adore. Of course, R looks prettier than Amelie, but she has that same mischievious look in her eyes.
Shot of R and Lon on the glass floor which gives the person on the floor a view of a straight shot down. I waited a couple mins before getting on the floor, which I'm glad I did or else I would have assaulted the 10 year old girl who decided to jump up and down on the glass. Lon, who doesn't have a fear of heights said even he got vertigo.
Its funny when you first get on the floor, you don't really walk out onto it. You sort of hold your foot over it, testing it with your weight, even though you see all these people standing on it as well. Its interesting trying to teach yourself to completely disregard all instincts and go solely on what your higher level thought is telling you.
I'm really glad Rebecca made me do this. Lately I have been feeling lost and confused, especially about the way some of the relationships in my life are changing, but after this, I'm reminding myself that I need to trust that the glass floor I've been lying on is really there and even though it seems like everything around me will come crashing down, I need to trust that I'll be ok.
