Oooooo, vertigo... Nice shot, now where did I put those Gravol?

you thought that was vertiginous!

Elicar: 1st Mar 2006 - 14:32 GMT

Thanks Grange, Evil and E!

Elaine, I am SCARED of heights!!!

this shot looks like it could be taken horizontally (rather than, as it is, vertically), like the top of the fire escape was a point far off in the distance instead of a point high up in the air. it's very disorienting in that way. well done!

My brother has horrible vertigo. He says that when he looks over the edge, he has an overwhelming desire to throw himself off. So I'm taking him up the Empire State Building in two weeks and I'll finally be an only child.

If I fall and go splat on that sky, so help me, I'll...

More Graval for Evil!

and, of course;

i can see your plan, catherine, but i have been to the empire state building, and there is a really high wall at the top, so i hope you are strong, cos he is going to take some lifting. my photos two of the three i took on that trip, in the time BDC

I'm thinking he'll do it by himself. When he last visited we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. He couldn't look down through the cracks in the wood to the East River without feeling woosy.

When you are done with your brother Cat, can you deal with mine? I have a total of five siblings though...Is that too much?

My brother didn't lose himself to the East River or the Empire State during his trip.
I'm sorry, Elicar, I don't think that I can take out a whole family. Not since I saw Saving Private Ryan, anyway.
Jack, I would be honored if you would call me Cat.

EvilGentleman: 27th Mar 2006 - 18:32 GMT

Elicar, I honestly tried to do the job on your brother, but he doubled your bid. What was I to do? Sorry, I will try to do better next time.

PS- Check your brakes.

EvilG, I'd like to believe you, but my brother is so charming that you would have been more credible if you said that he bribed you with a beer. Runs in the family, ya know! ;) (Did I offer you half a beer?)

It's okay Cat! I have discovered how to get along well with my family! Live away, as far away as possible, from them! ;) I get along with all of them, except for one. And she lives closest to me, in the burbs of Toronto (which proves my point!). ;)
