Living in the city is great but sometimes it can feel like you have no privacy, like there's always someone around, like there's nowhere to hide. Even in my apartment with the windows closed and the blinds drawn, I can still hear traffic, trains, and people walking down the street. That's one of the reasons that I love spending time on rooftops and bridges. You can can still hear the cars, and you can still see all the people below going about their business; but you're detached. You're fifteen stories above their heads but they're completely oblivious to your existence. It's such a peaceful feeling.
Tonight Jason and I drove around a bit while we talked and looked a few possible places to climb. We decided to start the night with a rooftop downtown.
Watching you walk through the alley.
The next place we went was one of my favorite lift bridges.

Love your night shots, especially the one that makes the tallest buildings look like they are made out of rubber.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'll probably be doing a little more of this type of stuff in the next few weeks.
DeleteThese rooftop photos are awesome. How do you know where to go?
ReplyDeleteThank you! Most of the time it's just a matter of walking around the city looking for ladders and fire escapes and other things to climb.
